12th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E)
September 24-27, 2024, 5* Aliathon Resort, Paphos, Cyprus
The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) is a premier conference on Cloud Computing, which in the last two decades has significantly changed the way IT resources are consumed.
###IMPORTANT DATES###
* Full and short paper submission deadline: May 17, 2024 (AoE) (*** extended ***)
* Author notification and start of shepherding phase: June 30, 2024
* Camera-ready copies: August 2, 2024
###TOPICS OF INTEREST###
IC2E provides a high-quality, comprehensive forum where researchers and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles, enabling technologies, and practical experiences related to Cloud Computing. The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack – including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.
IC2E 2024 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret “cloud engineering” very broadly – to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged.
Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research and Vision or Industry and Experience Track. Submissions are invited on the following non-exhaustive list of topics for both tracks:
* Cloud management and engineering, from single (micro-)services to complete system landscapes
* Cloud applications, ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) over Big Data to Machine Learning
* Cloud systems, including storage, data distribution, and serverless computing
* Cloud security and privacy concerns on all levels of the Cloud stack
* Fog and Edge Computing, and all other system types in the Cloud-Edge Compute Continuum
* Everything as a Service
* Non-technical aspects of Cloud Computing, e.g., Cloud governance or cloud economics
IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions:
* Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process.
* Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern.
* Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers.
Research and vision papers should be submitted to the Research Track, industry and experience papers to the Industry Track. Vision papers should have “(Vision Paper)” as a subtitle on the first page.
###SUBMISSION###
Authors must submit full and short papers in PDF via the Web submission form at EasyChair (easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2e2024), upon selecting Research Track or Industry Track options. Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version:
* Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything.
* Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything.
IC2E supports Open Science practices. Therefore, authors are strongly encouraged to publish software and data sets as open-source/data.
All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed).
