<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. High Utility with Cloud services can already be achieved for compute, storage and communication resources but also for hosted software and data. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility. There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer. 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. This will be the 6th UCC in a successful conference series. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), and Chicago, USA (UCC 2012). UCC 2013 happens while cloud providers world–wide add new services and increase utility at a high pace and is therefore of high relevance for both academic and industrial research. Topics of Interest –––––––––––––––––– 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–*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring • Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e–science) and business • Mobile and energy–efficient use of Clouds • Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contexts </pre>
