*SCOPE AND TOPICS*
This session invites prospective authors to submit articles from the
academy and industry for sharing scientific and practice knowledge on the
engineering and management of Data Centers Systems (DCS). DCS are
considered mission-critical organizational assets whose availability,
performance, power efficiency, security, continuity, and overall
effectiveness must be guaranteed in order to avoid critical disruptions on
IT-based business services. Main categories of asked topics include, but
not limited to, planning-design, implementation and operation-control of
DCS. Emergent topics like Green DCS, ITSM process frameworks (e.g. ITIL,
ISO/IEC 2000), DevOps, IaaS, and Software-Defined Data Centers are also
welcome. In summary, articles from the academy and industry taking DCS as
core entity to be addressed are asked. A sample of topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
*Foundations on data centers*

*IMPORTANT DATES*
*March 31, 2017 *
- Submission of papers
*April 14, 2017 *
- Notification of acceptance (+/- two days)
*May 05, 2017 *
- Final Papers + Copyright + Registration
*July 17-20, 2017*

federated/joint conferences
*SUBMISSION OF PAPERS*
*Type of Submissions/Papers for this session:*
- *Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):* Regular Research
Papers should provide detail original research contributions. They must
report new research results that represent a contribution to the field;
sufficient details and support for the results and conclusions should also
be provided. The work presented in regular papers are expected to be at a
stage of maturity that with minor advances can be published as journal
papers.
- *Short Research Papers (maximum of 4 pages):* Short Research Papers
report on ongoing research projects. They should provide overall research
methodologies with some results. The work presented in short papers are
expected to be at a stage of maturity that with further advances can be
published as regular papers.
*Format guidelines for submissions:*
- These instructions are comparable to the standard template for IEEE
typesetting format.
- Papers must be prepared in two-column format.
- Word Template at:
http://american-cse.org/download/csce_word_template.doc
- The first page of the paper should include the following elements:
- Title of the paper
- Name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author
(identify the name of the Contact Author)
- Abstract (between 100 and 120 words)
- A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in the paper
- Write the type of the submission as "Regular Research Paper",
"Short Research Paper", or "Extended Abstract/Poster Paper".
- *Submissions must be sent directly to session chairs at:
**mmora at correo.uaa.mx
<mmora at correo.uaa.mx> **with copy to **jorge.marx.gomez at uni-oldenburg.de
<jorge.marx.gomez at uni-oldenburg.de>*
*Review process:*
- Each paper will be PEER-REVIEWED by two experts in the field for
originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of
contradictory recommendations, session chairs will make the final decision
(accept/reject).
*PUBLICATION AND INDEXING*
The proceedings will be published in printed conference books (ISBN),
imprinted by the American Council on Science and Education, and
distributed/published by CSREA (Computer Science Research, Education, and
Applications Press). The proceedings will also be made available online.
The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at
the conference. The books will be indexed in science databases, including
EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one of the largest subject index systems, and
others. ACM Digital Library is also including the titles into its database)
as well as ProQuest indexing database and others.
In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple
books in each series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in
Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with Springer
publishers (Transactions of Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence). After the conference (the process may take 12 to 18 months),
a significant number of authors of accepted papers of our congress, will be
given the opportunity to submit the extended version of their papers for
publication consideration in these books. We anticipate having between 10
and 15 books a year in each of these book series projects. Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing
products (which includes: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex,
Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others).
Best selected papers from the session will be invited to be published
(extended versions) in two journals with topics on Data Centers Topics:
- International Journal of Information Technology and Systems
http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-information-technologies-systems/1098
- The Journal of Supercomputing
http://www.springer.com/computer/swe/journal/11227).
