Special Session on
Tools for an Energy Efficient Cloud - TEEC 2016

23 - 25 April, 2016 - Rome, Italy

Within the 5th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems - SMARTGREENS 2016

TEEC is a shared event between SMARTGREENS and CLOSER.

CHAIR

	Karim Djemame University of Leeds United Kingdom

Brief Bio Dr. Karim Djemame is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing at the University of Leeds (UK). He sits on a number of international programme committees for Grid/Cloud middleware, computer networks and performance evaluation. He is currently the Scientific and Technical Manager of the EU-funded projects ASCETiC and TANGO, which address the issues of energy efficiency in clouds and heterogeneous parallel architectures environments. He had previously led many research projects including the Leeds element of the e-Science DAME project with industrial partners, Rolls-Royce, Data Systems & Solutions, Cybula, and its follow-on projects BROADEN, GridPPT, ISQoS, EKT-SLA, and STRAPP, looking at Grid/Cloud systems architecture, resource brokering and performance issues. He was also Principal Investigator of the EU-funded projects AssessGrid and OPTIMIS. The main research area of Dr. Djemame is distributed systems, including system architectures, energy efficiency, resource management, and performance evaluation.

SCOPE

The special session aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, software developers, and others interested in the latest advances of energy efficient clouds. Special focus will be on novel methods and tools to support software developers aiming to optimise energy efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint resulting from designing, developing, deploying and running software at the different layers of the Cloud computing stack. We call on to researchers and professionals to present their latest work on addressing such related challenges and to share their experiences and best practices in the deployment of such systems. We particularly welcome papers on relevant software engineering approaches and practical guidance on enterprise-wide software deployment in the cloud environment, together with real-world case studies.

Topics:

Requirements engineering of energy-aware cloud-based applications
Design modelling of of energy-aware cloud-based applications
Energy-oriented tooling for Cloud developers
Cloud computing patterns
Energy aware cloud service life cycle
Energy aware programming
Energy aware Modelling
Cloud Programming Models
Green Service Level Agreements
Self-adaptive cloud architectures
Infrastructure management
Energy aware storage management
Energy aware network management
