The "Cloud" is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the
widespread adaption of virtualization and Service-Oriented Architectures
(SOA). In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are
provided as services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without
requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology.
The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology
& Science 2017 will be the 9th in the series of conferences, steered
by the Cloud Computing Association, that brings together researchers,
developers and users interested in cloud computing systems to present
and discuss the needs of, and innovations in, the area and related
technologies.

Submission Guidelines
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Authors must submit their papers by the
deadline indicated below, using the EasyChair submission system.
Only PDF files will be accepted. Manuscripts need to be prepared
according to the IEEE CS format. All regular paper submissions should be
written in English with a maximum paper length of 8 pages. All
submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts (expected
acceptance rate: ~18%).
Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register to the conference, by the
early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
The conference proceedings of CloudCom 2017 will be published by
IEEE CS Press (IEEE Xplore) and indexed by EI and ISSN. Distinguished
papers will be invited to be included within a number of special issues
in prestigious international journals.
