The UC Cloud Summit 2011

Tuesday, April 19th 2011 @   University of California, Los Angeles

Venue: California Room, Faculty Center, UCLA

The theme of this summit is to bring together virtual computing researchers in UC campuses and their collaborators to share ideas about on-demand computing in a dynamically altering compute environment. We invite project presentations in the areas of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), MapReduce, Storage cloud, Data aware scheduling etc. The following topics are of interest to us:

If you are actively involved in any of the above or related topics, we would like you to attend this summit and share your experience.

Below is a list of UC campus contacts.
