CONTEXT AND SCOPE

Cloud Computi= ng delivers computational resources on-demand as services
that are commo= ditized and delivered analogous to traditional utilities such as
electri= city, gas, water and telephony. Cloud service offerings for compute,
sto= rage and communication resources as well as for hosted software and dataare growing at a tremendous rate, and it is essential to understand how to=
effectively transform these services into Utilities that provide value = to both
users and providers. There is also increasing interest from comm= ercial
providers to offer business and revenue models around the service= s they
offer. Understanding how these models could be used to provide ut= ility for
users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers is als= o an area of
active research. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference cov= ering all areas
related to Cloud Computing as a Utility and provides an = international forum
for leading researchers and practitioners in this im= portant and growing field.
UCC 2015, to be held in Cyprus, will happen a= s Cloud providers worldwide
add new services and increase Cloud utility = at an accelerated pace, and Cloud
service users explore new usage modes.=

This will be the 8th UCC in a successful conference series. Previou= s events
were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia= (Cloud 2010
& UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (U= CC 2012), Dresden,
Germany (UCC2013), and London, UK (UCC 2014).
