"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure

(e.g. data storage and computing hardware) which is hidden from users. Cloud

Computing makes data truly mobile and a user can simply access a chosen cloud

with any internet accessible device. In Cloud Computing, IT-related

capabilities are provided as services, accessible without requiring detailed

knowledge of the underlying technology. Thus, many mature technologies are

used as components in Cloud Computing, but still there are many unresolved and

open problems. This conference and workshop series, steered by the Cloud

Computing Association (www.cloudcom.org), aims to bring together researchers

who work on cloud computing and related technologies. Topics include but are

not limited to:
