活动简介

Recent years have witnessed the tremendous growth in the cloud computing market in terms of both, provider competition and customer adoption. However, despite this growth, the cloud computing world still lacks (1) well-defined standards to allow smooth cloud federation, (2) standard programming interfaces to avoid vendor lock-in and (3) large-scale management schemes to harness multi-cloud heterogeneous resources. Systems able to overcome these limitations are called cross-cloud systems. Today’s application providers resorting to multi-cloud architectures still face several challenges in application development and management due to the heterogeneity, high distribution and complexity of cross-cloud systems.

CrossCloud is an international workshop series that aims to bring to light issues related to cross-cloud systems, i.e., those that span across multiple cloud provisioning boundaries. CrossCloud’s goal is to bring together a congregation of systems researchers, both from academia and industry, who have relevant knowledge and experience pertaining to designing and assembling cross-cloud architectures, hybrid infrastructures, cloud federations and multi-cloud applications.

征稿范围

Authors are encouraged, but not limited, to cover the following topics:

Cross-cloud systems: resource management across multiple clouds (e.g., load balancing, performance optimization, security and privacy policy enforcement).
Containers and Virtual Machine (VM) management across several cloud infrastructures (e.g., VM placement and migration).
Fog/edge computing: fog-based infrastructures, caching, performance and services.
Micro-services: system design, monitoring and management using containers and/or microkernels to achieve cloud provider independence.
Cross-Cloud agility: dynamic application deployment across multiple cloud platforms, flexibility in moving between different providers and vendors.
Hybrid cloud infrastructures management (e.g., public and private clouds, heterogeneous cloud systems, cloud and cluster/grid systems).
Cloud-bursting: workload offloading, multi-cloud resource scheduling strategies.
Cross-cloud SDKs and APIs: design, maintenance, support and performance evaluation.
Application portability: priorities, restrictions, and lock-in mitigation techniques and measures.
API interoperability: study cases and experiences with data and applications.
Interoperability between managed services (e.g., MapReduce, DB, message queues, etc.).
Decision support systems: efficient and open application deployment and monitoring across different cloud platforms and providers; cloud brokerage as a means of complexity outsourcing.
Scalable multi-cloud monitoring: monitoring among different cloud environments; relevant metrics at the different levels of the stack (e.g., network access); monitoring overhead analysis.
Experiences: assembling and (re)deploying in heterogeneous multi-cloud environments; costs and benefits of cross-cloud management and deployment; challenges in existing cross-cloud platforms; case studies on building or federating multi-cloud systems.
Cross-Cloud security: Identity and access management across infrastructure boundaries, reconciling application security and privacy requirements across multiple SLAs.
