Cloud computing is emerging as the next generation IT paradigm due to its elasticity, scalability, availability, on demand, and pay only for services that you use. However, cloud systems face major challenges to provide and validate the required Service Level Agreement (SLA) as well as the security requirements for a wide range of cloud applications and services. Current cloud configuration and management are manual intensive, ad-hoc and error-prone. Manual processes are inherently inconsistent and they cannot support the cloud requirements for rapid provisioning of new applications or scale up/down resources on demand. To satisfy these emerging requirements and to support government and industry security requirements, it is critically important that cloud computing infrastructures support efficient automation. Cloud automation will result in efficient operations, consistent configurations that meet security and SLA requirements, dynamic and rapid provisioning of cloud resources on demand, elastic scalability up or down, and support cost savings. The goal of this workshop is to solicit original and unpublished research papers that describe techniques supporting efficient cloud automation to meet application’s SLA and security requirements. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Dynamic configuration of cloud system resources to improve performance, security, and availability.
* Automated data storage configuration and management in cloud systems.
* Techniques to aggregate cloud infrastructures into well-defined components or structures that support automatic configuration and runtime management.
* Intelligent cloud workload characterization and prediction to achieve fault tolerance, reliability and greater resilient operations.
* Tools to automatically configure, monitor, and validate security of cloud systems and their applications.
* Tools and techniques to pre-certify virtual machine (VM) templates, cloud template configurations and applications.
* Tools to provide cloud users full visibility into security and operations of cloud systems and applications.
Submission and Publication
The papers must be formatted in a two-column layout up to 6 pages and must follow the IEEE proceedings format. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader community. Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference or journal during the Automation of Cloud Configuration and Operations (ACCO) workshop review process.
Authors should submit their papers electronically following the instructions from the ICCAC 2017 conference website (http://autonomic-conference.org). At least one author of the accepted paper is expected to register and present their work during the workshop, for publication in IEEEXplore.
