Special Session on Cloud Interoperability - CI 2013 In conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - CLOSER 2013 Website: http://closer.scitevents.org/CI.aspx May 8 - 10, 2013 Aachen, Germany Co-organized by: RWTH Sponsored by: INSTICC INSTICC is Member of: WfMC and OMG Technically sponsored by: SINTEF and IFIP IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission: March 1, 2013 Authors Notification: March 19, 2013 Camera Ready and Registration: March 28, 2013 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We would like to draw your attention to the Cloud Interoperability - CI 2013 (held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science- CLOSER 2013), whose submission deadline is scheduled for March 1, 2013. Cloud interoperability is one of the most challenging aspects of cloud computing. For the final user, interoperability means the possibility of migrating from one IaaS provider to another, or to manage in a seamless way the resources provided by distinct providers: thus the risk of being locked to a given provider is avoided, and cloud operation is made more reliable and secure. For the intermediate provider that offers value added services using a cloud infrastructure, interoperability means the possibility to offer the same service using different providers, without redesigning the application each time. Being the cloud a fast evolving creature, standardization proposals must be extremely flexible and not bound to current technologies or short term visions, while being simple to adhere to. As an alternative, some propose the design of intermediate layers that work as adapters for distinct providers. We invite practitioners, researchers and industry representatives to submit original ideas to the Closer Special Session on Cloud Interoperability: we will consider with special interest articles that: - demonstrate the impact of Cloud Interoperability with well documented use cases and experiments, - formalize aspects of cloud operation that are relevant for interoperability - describe standardization initiatives that aim at Cloud Interoperation. The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), co-organized with the Aachen University (RWTH) and technically sponsored by the SINTEF and IFIP. INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). The purpose of the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science, CLOSER 2013, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the conference considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage, market and study various aspects of Cloud Computing. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All papers accepted to the Special Session will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library ( <http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/> http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef ( <http://www.crossref.org/> http://www.crossref.org/). CLOSER 2013 will be held in conjunction with WEBIST 2013 (9th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies - http://www.webist.org/), SMARTGREENS 2013 (International Conference on Smart Grids and Green IT Systems - <http://www.smartgreens.org/> http://www.smartgreens.org/) and CSEDU 2013 (International Conference on Computer Supported Education - <http://www.csedu.org/> http://www.csedu.org/) in Aachen, Germany. Registration to CLOSER will enable free attendance to any sessions of WEBIST, SMARTGREENS and CSEDU conferences as a non-speaker.
