------------------------------------------------------------

The ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing 2014 (ACM SoCC 2014) will be the fifth
in a series of symposia that brings together researchers, developers, users,
and practitioners interested in cloud computing.  ACM SoCC is the premier
conference on cloud computing; it is the only conference co-sponsored by the
ACM Special Interest Groups on Management of Data (SIGMOD) and on Operating
Systems (SIGOPS).  In 2014 SoCC will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA.

The scope of SoCC is broad and encompasses diverse systems topics such as
software as a service, virtualization, and scalable cloud data services.
Many facets of systems and data management issues must be revisited in the
context of cloud computing. Suggested topics for paper submissions include
but are not limited to:

   * Administration and Manageability
   * Data Privacy
   * Data Services Architectures
   * Distributed and Parallel Query Processing
   * Energy Management
   * Distribution and Cloud Networking
   * High Availability and Reliability
   * Infrastructure Technologies
   * Large Scale Cloud Applications
   * Multi-Tenancy
   * Programming Models
   * Provisioning and Metering
   * Resource Management and Performance
   * Scientific Data Management
   * Security of Services
   * Service Level Agreements
   * Storage Architectures
   * Transactional models and implementations
   * Virtualization Technologies

Paper submission:
   ** Deadline: July 18 at midnight PDT.
   ** Notification of acceptance/rejection will occur by September 18.

Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered
for publication in any other forum.  Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF
format and formatted in 10-point type using the templates available at
https://sites.google.com/site/2014socc/home/call-for-papers.

A submission to the symposium may be one of the following types:
   1. Research papers: original research work in the broad area of cloud
      computing.
   2. Industrial papers: presentations describing experiences with deployed,
      state-of-the-art cloud systems.
   3. Vision papers: speculative but well-reasoned, thought-provoking
essays.

All SoCC submissions will be held to a high quality standard, and evaluated
based on their originality, technical merit, topical relevance, value to the
community, and likelihood of leading to insightful technical discussions at
the symposium. Submissions will be kept confidential.

Tutorial proposals: Those wishing to give a tutorial at SoCC 2014 should
submit a two-page proposal to the program co-chairs via email.
