> CALL FOR PAPERS
> *****************
>
> Introduction:
> -------------
>
> Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that
> are commoditized
> and delivered in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as
> water, electricity,
> gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on
> their requirements
> without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are
> delivered. Several
> computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing
> vision and these
> include Grid computing, and more recently Cloud computing.
>
> Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords in the
> ICT industry.
> Several IT vendors are promising to offer storage, application and
> computation hosting
> services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering Service-
> Level
> Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their
> services. While
> these ÔcloudsÕ are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and
> data centres, they
> are distinguished by following a ÔutilityÕ pricing model where
> customers are charged
> based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and
> transfer of data.
> These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation,
> application hosting and
> content storage and delivery by several orders of magnitude, however
> there is
> significant complexity involved in ensuring applications, services and
> data can scale
> when needed to ensure consistent and reliable operation under peak
> loads.
>
> To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances and
> industrial innovations
> in "Utility Computing" area, we have initiated this new conference
> series
> "International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This
> conference series has
> emerged out of the past two
> successful Cloud computing symposiums (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai,
> China; and Cloud
> 2010 held in Melbourne, Australia) and focuses on both principles of
> "Utility computing"
> and its practical realisation in industry in different forms including
> Cloud Computing.
>

> paper receiving the highest quality rating from the Program Committee
> and external
> reviewers. In addition, a special issue in a high quality
> international journal will
> be organised for selected best papers.
>
> PAPER SUBMISSION
>
> Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted
> manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not
> exceed
> 8 ("eight") letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and
> references
> using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2
> inches (16.51 cm)
> wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns
> 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm)
> wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-

> justified text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be
> returned without
> review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make
> sure that the file will
> print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The
> official language of the
> meeting is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be
> judged on correctness,
> originality, technical strength, significance, quality of
> presentation, and interest and
> relevance to the conference attendees.
>
> Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
> not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers
> not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
> further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
> notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and
> sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,
> exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
> be
> considered. The proceedings will be published and will be made online
> through the IEEE Xplore.
