We would like to invite you to participate in this workshop at ICSE 2009 on May 23rd 2009.
Overview: ------------- Cloud Computing has emerged as a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared infrastructure. The projected benefits of cloud computing are very compelling both from a cloud consumer as well as a cloud services provider perspective: ease of deployment of services; low capital expenses and constant operational expenses leading to variable pricing schemes and reduced opportunity costs; leveraging the economies of scale for both services providers and users of the cloud. However, the actual realization of these perceived benefits are far from being well-achieved and pose a broad range of interesting questions. Program: ------------ 8:30 - 8:45 Morning coffee 8:45 - 8:50 Welcome (K. Bhattacharya, M. Bichler, S. Tai) 8:50 - 9:50 Industry Keynote: Jamie Kinney, Amazon Infrastructure as a Service: Building Blocks for Innovation Building the right infrastructure that can scale up or down at a moment's notice can be a complicated and expensive task, but it's essential in today's business landscape. This applies to an enterprise trying to cut costs, a young business unexpectedly saturated with customer demand, or a start-up looking to launch. There are many challenges when building a reliable, flexible architecture that can manage unpredictable behaviors of today's internet business. This presentation will explore the Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform and examine the ways in which it is driving remarkable innovations in modern enterprise architectures. 9:50 - 10:50 Academic Keynote: Anna Liu, UNSW 10:50 - 11:15 Coffee break 11:15 - 12:45 Session 1: Cloud Service Management Autonomic virtual resource management for service hosting platforms Hien Nguyen Van, Frederic Dang Tran and Jean-Marc Menaud Network-aware migration control and scheduling of differentiated virtual machine workloads Alexander Stage and Thomas Setzer Performance Model Driven QoS Guarantees and Optimization in Clouds Zhanwen (Jim) Li, John Chinneck, Murray Woodside, Marin Litoiu and Gabriel Iszlai 12:45 - 14:00 Lunch break 14:00 - 15:30 Session 2: Cloud Service Engineering I What's Inside the Cloud?

Bhattacharya, M. Bichler, S. Tai) ( Tentative Program and Schedule ) Overview: Cloud Computing has emerged as a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared infrastructure. The projected benefits of cloud computing are very compelling both from a cloud consumer as well as a cloud services provider perspective: ease of deployment of services; low capital expenses and constant operational expenses leading to variable pricing schemes and reduced opportunity costs; leveraging the economies of scale for both services providers and users of the cloud. However, the actual realization of these perceived benefits are far from being well-achieved and pose a broad range of interesting questions. Themes: Our goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners to facilitate stimulating discussions on the following three aspects.
Submissions: We are soliciting contributions from both academia and practitioners on these three topics. We are encouraging contributions of short vision papers or practical experiences (6 Pages) and full papers (max 14 pages) with high quality research contributions and experimental results. All papers should be in the two-column IEEE format, as required for the ICSE (see http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/). Papers must be submitted, by January 26th, 2009, in PDF format, using the EasyChair website at: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=icsecloud09 Specifically, we are suggesting the following topics as guidelines for submissions: Programming Models:
Service Management
