----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALGOCLOUD 2020 6th International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing 9-10 September 2020, Pisa, Italy - part of ALGO 2020 http://algo2020.di.unipi.it/ALGOCLOUD2020/index.html Submission deadline: 1 July 2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE ----- ALGOCLOUD is an annual international symposium aiming to tackle the diverse new topics in the emerging area of algorithmic aspects of computing and data management in modern cloud-based systems (which are broadly defined so as to include edge- and fog-based systems, cloudlets, cloud micro-services, as well as virtualization environments). ALGOCLOUD aims at bringing together researchers, students, and practitioners to present research activities and results on topics related to algorithmic, design, and development aspects of modern cloud-based systems. ALGOCLOUD 2020 is co-located with ALGO 2020, a leading international event of researchers working on algorithms and their engineering. ALGOCLOUD welcomes submissions on all theoretical, design, and implementation aspects of modern cloud-based systems. ALGOCLOUD is particularly interested in novel algorithms in the context of cloud computing, cloud architectures, as well as experimental work that evaluates contemporary cloud approaches and pertinent applications. ALGOCLOUD also welcomes demonstration manuscripts, which discuss successful system developments, as well as experience/use-case articles and high-quality survey papers. Contributions may span a wide range of algorithms for modeling, practices for building and techniques for evaluating operations and services in a variety of systems, including but not limited to, virtualized infrastructures, cloud computing platforms, edge computing platforms, fog computing platforms, datacenters, cloud-storage options, cloud data management, non-traditional key-value stores on the cloud, and HPC architectures. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission deadline: 1 July 2020 Author Notification: 31 July 2020 Symposium: 9-10 September 2020 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Submissions must have a length of up to 12 pages in LNCS format, excluding references and an optional appendix to be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algocloud2020 By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register and attend ALGO 2020, and present the paper, provided that there are no safety concerns due to the COVID-19.
