Submission deadline | July 28, 2018 |
The 4th International Workshop on Cloud Migration and Architecture (CloudWays 2018) aims to bring together cloud migration experts and cloud-native application DevOps experts from academia and industry from different IT communities, e.g., cloud computing, software engineering, services computing, big data, information systems, etc. Its main goals is to promote discussions and collaboration among participants, to help disseminate novel cloud migration practices and solutions, and to identify future cloud migration and cloud-native application engineering challenges and dimensions. To this end, the workshop will foster a more interactive participation model, in which authors, invited speakers and attendees will be encouraged to socially engage beyond the planned workshop activities.
CloudWays 2018 will be co-located with the 7th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2018).
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
