============================================================
17th International Conference on
Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems & Services

http://2020.gecon-conference.org

15-17 September 2020

(ONLINE CONFERENCE with HIGH INTERACTION BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS)

Springer LNCS Proceedings
============================================================
===========
/ NOTICE! /
===========
The organizing committee of GECON 2020 has decided all
sessions will be held exclusively online!

We consider the new online format to offer opportunities

for exploring new ways of improving the interaction and

feedback of the audience with speakers and promoting

networking among the conference participants.

The registration fee of the online conference has been

reduced to 250 Euros for one author of each publication,

100 Euros for participants, and 50 Euros for students.

The selection process will run as planned. The timely
publication of accepted papers in the proceedings of
GECON 2020 will be published in the LNCS series of
Springer as announced.

Due to the new online format, GECON maintains open the
proposal for special sessions. With the objective of
encouraging alternative forms of participation that can
increase discussions of technical topics and new ideas,
we solicit special topic and Birds of a Feather session
proposals. Deadline for special session proposals is
August 15th, 2020.

=========

of the conference previous editions
