## Call for papers

SCOPE The International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER), focuses on the highly important area of Cloud Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the conference considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage, market and study various aspects of Cloud Computing. Emerging Enterprise Technologies are profoundly changing the way we think of IT - from economics and efficiency to process and usage models. Many organizations look to the "externalized" IT systems and services as a potential cost-savings advantage by moving internally hosted IT services to external providers. Other organizations view the "external" IT as potential disaster recovery systems or as on-demand capacity to boost business continuity and customer service levels. We need to take a closer look, discerning what emerging enterprise technologies are and how they can catalyze creativity and produce a competitive advantage. There is hence a new wave of interest in 'Externalization of IT' - anything as a service (including Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service), On Demand delivery, outsourcing, edge cloud and so on. This emerging facilitation and way of utilizing services through IT is what we are referring to as Cloud Computing. CONFERENCE AREAS Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas: 1. CLOUD COMPUTING PARADIGMS AND PRACTICES 2. CLOUD AI 3. CLOUD SECURITY AND PRIVACY 4. CLOUD COMPUTING ENABLING TECHNOLOGY 5. SERVICES, PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS AREA 1: CLOUD COMPUTING PARADIGMS AND PRACTICES Resource Management and Scheduling Cloud Risk, Challenges and Governance Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Cloud Computing Multi-Cloud Enablement and Interoperability Edge Cloud Orchestration Cloud Continuum Edge Analytics and Real-Time Processing AREA 2: CLOUD AI AI-enabled Edge Cloud AI Services and Tools Machine Learning for Cloud Computing Generative Cloud AI Applications AI-Powered Analytics and Decision Making Intelligent Automation in Cloud and Edge Systems AREA 3: CLOUD SECURITY AND PRIVACY Cloud Network Security Security, Privacy and Compliance Management Privacy, Security and Trust Identity and Access Management (IAM) Service Security and Reliability AREA 4: CLOUD COMPUTING ENABLING TECHNOLOGY Cloud Data Centers, Storage and Networking Technologies Virtualization and Lightweight Execution Environments Containers, Containerization and Enablement Container Composition and Orchestration Microservices and Service Mesh Cloud Quality and Performance Cloud Optimization and Automation Cloud Management and Operations High Performance Cloud Computing Observability: Monitoring, Quality of Service, and Service Level Agreements Function-as-a-Service and Serverless Computing AREA 5: SERVICES, PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS Service Monitoring and Control Service Performance Analytics and Simulation Service Management Service Platforms Development Methods for Cloud Applications Workflow Orchestration and Automation Cloud Application Design and Architectures Cloud Application Scalability, Availability and Resilience Cloud Application Monitoring and Performance Optimization Cloud Cost Analysis and Optimization Emerging Technologies in Cloud Applications: Digital Twins, Web 3.0
