Draft paper submission deadline：2018-11-09

The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) seeks to provide a high-quality and comprehensive forum, where researchers and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles, enabling technologies, and practical experiences related to cloud computing. The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack—systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, and applications. IC2E offers an end-to-end view on the challenges and technologies in cloud computing, fosters research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.

We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully-developed results, and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The program committee will interpret “cloud engineering” very broadly—everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, at and across different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. We particularly encourage submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities. We invite submissions on the following topics:

Cloud Infrastructure

• Processors, accelerators for Cloud processing: interactive, batch, and streaming

• Cloud storage and databases

• Programming models, benchmarks, and tools
