IEEE CLOUD is the flagship conference focusing on innovative cloud computing across all ” Everything as a service” paradigms (XaaS). This includes modeling, designing, developing, publishing, monitoring, managing, operating, delivering, and scaling XaaS offerings from the cloud to the edge. The conference is a prime international forum for researchers, academics, businesses, industry, and standard bodies to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of cloud computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of cloud computing.

IEEE CLOUD 2024 invites original papers addressing all aspects of cloud computing infrastructure, applications, and business innovations. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
