DESCRIPTIONÂ

Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications are currently hot topicsÂ

and have been generating substantial interest in the community, and it is anticipated that thisÂ

interest will expand. It is also important to the research community as it is challengingÂ

traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation. Clouds must provideÂ

appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those cloudsÂ

are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management systems are essentialÂ

for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New systems, methods, andÂ

approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussedÂ

at this workshop.Â

For the CloudAM 2016 workshop, researchers from Clouds and (eScience) Applications communitiesÂ

are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication.Â

Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to:Â

* Cloud computing environmentsÂ

* Cloud service orchestrationÂ

* Cloud APIs and usage controlÂ

* Cloud data managementÂ

* Cloud scalable monitoringÂ

* Cloud load balancingÂ

* Multi-cloud/Inter-cloudsÂ

* Customer cloud managementÂ

* Managing data centersÂ

* Management as a serviceÂ

* Management of virtual slicesÂ

* *aaS ManagementÂ

* Application and Management PortalsÂ

* Cloud schedulingÂ

* Management of virtualized hardware resourcesÂ

* Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud accessÂ

* Performance modeling & evaluationÂ

* QoS/QoE management in the cloudÂ

* Management tools for infrastructure virtualizationÂ

* Automated resource slicingÂ

* Integration of the wireless and optical domainsÂ

* Policy driven service/resource life-cycle managementÂ

* Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructureÂ
