The Research Paper Sessions “aim to provide first-class open forums for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present and discuss issues, trends and results to shape the future of cloud computing and big data.” The sessions will be held on Tuesday, September 29 and on Wednesday, September 30, 2015.

The Research Committee is requesting the submission of high-quality papers in theoretical, experimental, industrial research and development in the following areas:

Cloud Computing

• Novelties in cloud infrastructures, architectures and models
• Cloud reliability
• Private and public clouds
• Federation of infrastructures, interoperability techniques in heterogeneous cloud environments
• Security and privacy in the cloud
• Cloud management
• HPC in the cloud
• Big data in the cloud
• Novel cloud programming models
• Cloud applications and services (SaaS)

Big Data

• Algorithms, models and systems
• Big data architectures and infrastructure
• Data quality and integration

Submission

• Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference system.
• Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 pages.
• The committee will only accept paper submissions which are formatted in correct LNCS style (single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word template.

About ISC Cloud & Big Data

The ISC Cloud & Big Data conference is a three-day event: September 28-30, 2015, at the Frankfurt Marriott. This format offers attendees two full days of multi-track sessions, highlighting current and future technologies, and applications most relevant in the cloud and big data fields. In addition, there will be one full day of workshops. The conference will be bringing together 250 attendees to learn and discuss experiences in fields of cloud and big data. Attendees will span the spectrum of cloud and big data users, coming from industries such as manufacturing, medical and pharmaceutical, financial services, retail, the energy sector, as well as government agencies and research organizations.
