[DMANET] CfP: ALGOCLOUD 2023 - 8th International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing

Call for Papers: ALGOCLOUD 2023 - 8th International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing

*September 4-8, 2023 - part of ALGO 2023*

*https://algo-conference.org/2023/algocloud/
New Submission deadline: 12 July 2023, 23:59 GMT*

The *International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing*
(ALGOCLOUD) is an annual event aiming to tackle the diverse new topics in
the emerging area of algorithmic aspects of computing and data management
in modern cloud-based systems interpreted broadly so as to include edge-
and fog-based systems, cloudlets, cloud micro-services, virtualization
environments, decentralized systems, as well as dynamic networks.

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. The 8th edition of this symposium (ALGOCLOUD 2023) is co-located
with ALGO 2023 http://algo-conference.org/2023, a leading international
event of researchers working on algorithms and their engineering.


*Submission Guidelines*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 and
edge computing, cloud architectures, cloud-edge continuum as well as
experimental work that evaluates contemporary cloud-edge 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, HPC architectures, decentralized systems, as
well as dynamic networks.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

- *Regular papers*: Authors are invited to submit high-quality
manuscripts reporting original unpublished research in the topics related
to the symposium. A regular paper submission should clearly motivate the
importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its
relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper's key
contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used to
achieve the main results. A regular paper submission should not exceed 12
pages, including title page and abstract but excluding references and an
optional appendix. Authors should include all necessary details in their
submission so that the Technical Program Committee (TPC) can judge the
correctness, importance, and originality of their work. Any material (e.g.,
proofs or experimental results) omitted (from the main part of 12 pages)
due to space limitations can be put into the optional appendix, which will
be read at the TPC's discretion. Regular papers will be allotted up to 20
pages in the proceedings.

- *Short papers*: A short paper submission may present work-in-progress
on a specific topic, or work appeared elsewhere but is worth publicizing it
in the symposium, or a demonstration of a system or library, or an
experience/use-case paper, or a vision paper. Authors should clearly
motivate the importance of their contribution, discuss prior work and its
relationship to the paper, and in general provide sufficient details in
their submission so that the TPC can judge the quality and importance of
their work. A short paper submission should be at least 2 and at most 8
pages. Short papers will be allotted up to 8 pages in the proceedings.

- *Survey papers*: A survey paper submission concerns the write-up of a
high-quality survey paper on an emerging hot topic. Authors are asked to
submit a proposal between 5 and 10 pages, that clearly motivates the
importance of the topic, and contains the structure of the survey paper
along with the most important references that will be critically reviewed
and presented. If the proposal is accepted, then authors will be given
sufficient time (until end of September 2023) to prepare the full version
of their survey paper that needs to pass a quality control check by the
TPC, in order to be finally accepted and appear in the proceedings. Survey
papers will be allotted up to 40 pages in the proceedings.

All papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system at the submissions website:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algocloud23

Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the
LNCS latex templates and style files (available, together with Springer's
authors' guidelines, from
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf (
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg
).

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at
least one of the authors must register at ALGO/ALGOCLOUD 2023 and present
the paper (this holds for all types of papers, including accepted survey
proposals).

Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In
addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all
of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish
form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the
corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to
Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are available in Overleaf. Accepted
papers will be included in the post-proceedings published by Springer in
its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
