HotCloud 2020 : Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing

HotCloud is open to examining all models of cloud computing, including the scalable management of in-house servers, remotely hosted Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), infrastructure augmented with tools and services that provide Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Interesting issues show up at all levels of the software stack, but HotCloud\’s emphasis is on combining mechanisms to build working clouds rather than on implementing new low-level mechanisms themselves. For example, papers on using virtual machines in new ways would be preferred over papers on improving core VM technology.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Improving elasticity and availability in cloud infrastructure and cloud services
Cloud support for new hardware technologies (e.g. accelerators and GPUs)
Cloud data management and analytics
Multi-tenancy and related issues such as performance isolation
Machine Learning for systems
Systems for Machine Learning
Micro-cloud (or Cloudlet) infrastructure
Charging models and economics
Power-efficient (\”green\”) computing for clouds
Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery
Debugging and performance analysis of cloud applications
Cloud management and configuration
Virtual appliance management and composition
Storage architectures for cloud computing
Novel networking approaches for cloud computing
Programming models
Security and privacy in clouds
New applications for clouds
Mobility
Cloud workload management including migration to disparate clouds
