Abstract

The low cost of hardware components and the rapid growth of a business model for<br>Cloud services are two important drivers for the success of the Cloud&#046;<br>Nevertheless, most of the players today require also to analyze data available<br>on the Cloud with a holistic approach provided often by data mining techniques&#046;<br>Under this respect, services designed for complex scenarios like Smart Cities<br>benefit of this new Cloud era&#046;<br>The objective is to track and comprehend the flow of novelty in Cloud systems<br>and to put on the foreground all the features and related issues, with a<br>particular attention to the convergence of Cloud systems together with Smart<br>City systems and on the (re)use of open Cloud platforms for designing services<br>for Smart Cities&#046;<br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:<br>&#8211; Experiences on the use of Cloud systems when applied to services designed for<br>Smart Cities;<br>&#8211; Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems scalability and<br>to achieve resource saving in socio&#8211;technical Smart City systems<br>&#8211; Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost&#8211;effective<br>&#8211; Cloud provision, at all software stack layers;<br>&#8211; New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host<br>level, within/between data centres (intra&#8211; /inter&#8211;domain);<br>&#8211; Big Data flows processing for Smart City scenarios;<br>&#8211; Relationship between IoT and Cloud systems in Smart City scenarios;<br>&#8211; (Re)use of open Cloud&#8211;integrated platforms for the design of Smart<br>Cities services&#046;<br>
