The UC Cloud Summit 2011

Tuesday, April 19th 2011

at

University of California, Los Angeles

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.
