Submission deadline | October 5, 2018 |
The Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) invites to the sixth edition of the yearly scientific sympo-sium on the topic “Operating the Cloud”. The Future SOC Lab, a cooperation of HPI and the industry partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell EMC, Fujitsu, and SAP, provides research-ers with free of charge access to a complete infrastructure of powerful hardware and soft-ware. Serving as the foundation for state-of-the-art approaches in Data Science applications, cloud computing remains as one of the main research areas at the Future SOC Lab.
Cloud computing is experiencing a growth in attention world-wide. The necessity emerges from ever increasing amounts of data that must be stored and computed by companies of almost any area of business. Additionally, even in our daily private lives we utilize cloud ser-vices to synchronize files, keep track of our appointments, etc. However, we are still observ-ing a gap between results of academic research and practical implementations cloud opera-tors use. It is our goal to provide a persistent platform for representatives of academia and industry to bridge this gap.
The symposium aims at connecting industry and academia by inviting speakers and calling for paper presentations. On this occasion, we seek for research papers and practitioners' re-ports in the fields of operating, administrating, and utilizing cloud systems. Please submit your contribution to the electronic submission system we use (see Further Information). Accepted submissions will be presented at the symposium in Potsdam. "Operating the Cloud" aims to present a versatile compilation of talks which allow a deep exchange of experience and knowledge.
