Workshop on 'clouds for enterprises', Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm that aims to streamline the on-demand provisioning of software (SaaS), platform (PaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and data (DaaS) as services. Deploying applications on a cloud can help to achieve scalability, improve flexibility of computing infrastructure, and reduce total cost of ownership. However, a variety of challenges arise when deploying and operating applications and services in complex and dynamic cloud-based environments, which are frequent in enterprises and governments.
Due to the security and privacy concerns with public cloud offerings (which first attracted widespread attention), many enterprises and governments may choose hybrid cloud, community cloud, and private cloud solutions. Multi-tier infrastructures like these not only promise vast opportunities for future business models and new types of integrated business services, but also pose severe technical and organizational problems.
The goal of this workshop will be to bring together academic, industrial, and government researchers (from different disciplines), developers, and IT managers interested in cloud computing technologies and/or their consumer-side/provider-side use in enterprises and governments.For further information, please visit: http://nicta.com.au/people/tosicv/clouds4enterprises2011(opens in new window)
