The annual ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SoCC’26) brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. ACM SoCC’26 is the 17th edition of the premier conference on cloud computing; it is the only conference co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Management of Data (SIGMOD) and Operating Systems (SIGOPS).

SoCC’26 will take place in person in Singapore. As in prior SoCC conferences, SoCC’26 will foster connections between the academic and industrial communities operating in the cloud space.

We solicit original contributions on all aspects of cloud computing. We particularly encourage submissions on the research, development, practice, and experience of cloud computing systems and data management. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to the following, when related to the cloud:

Administration, service level agreements, and manageability
Blockchain systems, Byzantine fault tolerance, and decentralized ledgers
Confidential computing
Cross data center data management
Datacenter architectures
Data markets and data economy
Distributed and networked systems
Distributed/parallel query processing and optimization
Edge and fog computing
Energy efficiency, sustainability, and management
Fault tolerance, high availability, and reliability
Internet-of-Things infrastructure and cyber-physical systems
Large-scale cloud applications
Multi-tenancy in the cloud
Networking and communication
Operating systems and system support
Platform-as-a-Service and other cloud models
Privacy and security
Programming models for cloud (e.g., serverless, microservices)
Resource management, allocation, scheduling, provisioning, and metering
Scientific data management and workflows
Sky computing
Storage systems and new storage technologies
Machine learning for clouds and cloud-based systems
