[DMANET] ALGOCLOUD 2020 - final call for papers - new submission deadline 1 July 2020

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALGOCLOUD 2020
6th International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing
9-10 September 2020, Pisa, Italy - part of ALGO 2020
http://algo2020.di.unipi.it/ALGOCLOUD2020/index.html
Submission deadline: 1 July 2020

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-----
ALGOCLOUD is an annual international symposium aiming to tackle the diverse new topics in the emerging area of algorithmic aspects of computing and data management in modern cloud-based systems (which are broadly defined so as to include edge- and fog-based systems, cloudlets, cloud micro-services, as well as virtualization environments).

ALGOCLOUD aims at bringing together researchers, students, and practitioners to present research activities and results on topics related to algorithmic, design, and development aspects of modern cloud-based systems. ALGOCLOUD 2020 is co-located with ALGO 2020, a leading international event of researchers working on algorithms and their engineering.

ALGOCLOUD welcomes submissions on all theoretical, design, and implementation aspects of modern cloud-based systems. ALGOCLOUD is particularly interested in novel algorithms in the context of cloud computing, cloud architectures, as well as experimental work that evaluates contemporary cloud approaches and pertinent applications. ALGOCLOUD also welcomes demonstration manuscripts, which discuss successful system developments, as well as experience/use-case articles and high-quality survey papers. Contributions may span a wide range of algorithms for modeling, practices for building and techniques for evaluating operations and services in a variety of systems, including but not limited to, virtualized infrastructures, cloud computing platforms, edge computing platforms, fog computing platforms, datacenters, cloud-storage options, cloud data management, non-traditional key-value stores on the cloud, and HPC architectures.

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Submission deadline: 1 July 2020
