The 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science,
CLOSER 2013, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud Computing, inspired by
some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and
available services through the global network. Further, the conference
considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the
service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference
is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but
about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science
can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage,
market etc. Cloud Computing.

Emerging Enterprise Technologies are profoundly changing the way we think of
IT - from economics and efficiency to process and usage models. Many
organizations look to the “externalized” IT systems and services as a
potential cost-savings advantage by moving internally hosted IT services to
external providers. Other organizations view the “external” IT as potential
disaster recovery systems or as on-demand capacity to boost business
continuity and customer service levels. We need to take a closer look,
discerning what emerging enterprise technologies are and how they can
catalyze creativity and produce a competitive advantage. There is hence a
new wave of interest in 'Externalization of IT' - anything as a service
(including Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a
Service), On Demand delivery, outsourcing, and so on. This emerging
facilitation and way of utilizing services through IT is what we are
referring to as Cloud Computing.

The four perspectives in which we are addressing the area of Cloud Computing
in this conference are: (i) Fundamentals of Cloud Computing; (ii) Services
Science foundations for Cloud Computing; (iii) Cloud Computing platforms and
applications; (iv) Cloud Computing enabling technology.
