Hi,

Although we are looking at doing a research side cloud computing mini- 
track this time, we've included a "P2P Clouds" topic. I think P2P  
Clouds is an interesting research avenue to pursue. One can imagine a  
collection of peers providing P2P Cloud hosted, on demand services for  
their peers.

Best regards,
Bill

Cloud Computing
Software Technology Track Mini-track
CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-forth Annual
Hawaii International Conference of Systems Science
(HICSS-44)
January 4-7, The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa
Koloa, Kauai, Hawaii

1) Summary:
The decade of Cloud Computing has arrived together with its need for  
related Software as a Service (SaaS). Government as well as business  
initiatives are driving the migration of localized data center, IT  
SaaS to Internet Cloud platforms as Cloud hosted, on-demand Services  
(ChodS). This thus sets the groundwork for a new paradigm in service  
consumption and delivery. Typical Cloud Computing providers will  
deliver to users ChodS, petabytes of data storage, and computation  
grids on virtualized clouds as pay-as-you-go utilities. This movement  
has created new vistas for computer science researchers, and industry  
software architects. Issues such as batch job scheduling, and resource  
allocation on massively distributed, virtualized systems; new  
programming paradigms; and an evolution in security and privacy  
protocols to protect both communication channels and the projected to  
be highly sensitive cloud data. This mini-track will be open to  
research and practitioner contributions alike exploring the software,  
systems and protocol research, as well as the design and  
implementation challenges that must be confronted if the cloud  
paradigm is to succeed.

We anticipate submissions not limited to but in the scope of the  
following topics:

- Cloud Frameworks
- Coexistence of Batch & Interactive & Analytics jobs
- Workload generation, characterization, predication
- Network architectures and models for the datacenter
- Platforms for Cloud hosted on demand Services
