(ICCCN 2019) The 28th International Conference on Computer
Communications and Networks, July 29 - August 1, 2019, Valencia,
Spain.

ICCCN 2019 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society.


TRACK: Grid, Cloud, Internet and Middleware Computing and Communication (GCIM)

The rapid advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware
technologies are bringing about the explosive growth of the online
applications and services in Internet, and driving Grid and Cloud to
be dominating paradigms and platforms for computation and data in
academia as well as industry. The social networking services in
Internet represent a simplified, managed (and walled-garden) version
of the Web, providing identifiability of their participants between
each other and serving the large-scale access to huge amounts of user
generated content, images, and messages that their users share with
their contacts in an efficient way. P2P technology effectively
supports Internet Streaming and Content Distribution with high
scalability and availability for such services. Grids enable the
sharing of distributed computing and data resources such as
processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a
cohesive resource environment for executing distributed applications,
while Clouds provide elastic, on-demand as-a-service access to
compute, data, and software resources. The Grid, Cloud, Internet and
Middleware Computing and Communication track of the ICCCN conference
aims to the key issues underlying these paradigms, and welcomes paper
submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry
and government describing original research. Topics of interest range
from architectures and enabling technologies, programming models,
systems and tools, management structures and policies, performance
modeling and management, security and privacy, algorithms, network and
storage, applications and experiences, and associated legal,
regulatory, and social issues. We solicit original and unpublished
research achievements in various aspects of this field, including, but
not limited to, the following topics.
