Abstract

<pre>Cloud Computing promises to deliver computational resources on demand as services that are commoditised and delivered as in traditional utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony&#046; High Utility with Cloud services can already be achieved for compute, storage and communication resources but also for hosted software and data&#046; UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility&#046; There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer&#046; Understanding how these model could be used to provide utility for both users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers will also be of interest for this conference&#046; This will be the 6th UCC in a successful conference series&#046; Previous events were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 &amp; UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), and Chicago, USA (UCC 2012)&#046; UCC 2013 happens while cloud providers world&#8211;wide add new services and increase utility at a high pace and is therefore of high relevance for both academic and industrial research&#046; Topics of Interest &#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211;&#8211; Submissions are invited on the following themes as well as additional interesting related topics: • Principles and foundations of Utility Computing, including pricing and service models • Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds • Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated • Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services on all layers (XaaS) • Virtualisation technologies and other enablers • Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces • Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self&#8211;*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring • Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e&#8211;science) and business • Mobile and energy&#8211;efficient use of Clouds • Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contexts </pre>
