Cloud computing has become a very hot topic over the past few years. One of the main requirements in cloud computing environments is a high degree of automation for provisioning and dynamic management of IT resources (compute, storage and network resources) and services. Also, in cloud computing environment composed of large virtualized datacenters, energy consumption and carbon footprint have become major concerns which significantly impact resource management. The GCM workshop will focus on management and control issues related to dependability, scalabilitity, performance and configuration at each level of cloud computing infrastructures, but also on green computing issues in such environments like energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction and cooling. This raises the issue of management automation for multi- criteria optimization (including Green metrics) at each level of a cloud environment. Topics of interest addressed by the GCM workshop include, but are not limited to: Monitoring for Green and Cloud computing Control algorithms and policies for Green and Cloud computing Autonomic Computing applyied to Green and Cloud Computing Design of energy efficient cloud stacks Green-oriented Autonomic computing QoS and Green computing models for Clouds Energy efficiency benchmarking and profiling for Clouds Energy-aware configuration and resource management for Clouds Component model for cloud and green computing Software engineering methodologies and tools for cloud and green computing Scalability and reliability of management software for Green and Cloud computing Reporting and exposing carbon and energy impact Green architectures for Grids, Clouds and clusters Design of green computing middleware Green-aware configuration and resource management Scheduling and control in green computing Control and optimization techniques for green computing Real life experiments
