Paper preparation

Discussion with Manzoor

* Q1. What is the Research domain?
  * social cloud. 
* Q2: What is the research contribution?
  * Connecting different publishing areas as a tools --> what research contribution?
  * Auctioning theory in multiple publishing areas
* Q3: Do we do problem modelling?
  * yes, we work with resource allocation 
* Q4: Do we develop something notable?
  * Ref t osocial cloud paper from KIT. we develop more concreate building blocks conceptually.
* Q5: why is our idea different and worth a publication?
  * there is very less in this area, with multiple publishing areas, we are different.
* Q6: what are the performance evaluation critera?
  * ?
* Q7: what is the validation framework?
  * Service framework + frontend + etc
* Q8; Do we compare our approach to some relevant approach?
  * Can we compare this approach to IT social cloud? we will see what results they have produced? we need to produce the results of same parameters and see the efficiency of our approach.
* Q9: How is this approach linked to our earlier contribution?
  * It is definitly linked to our earlier contribution. it is an extension of our approach.

Relating resources

Our approach

Use case:

User reserve resource. On provider side, this is often under-utilized resource. Providers use these resources to increase profit and cooperate to mitigate SLA QoS violation. One of the approache is like in this paper, finance options trading between providers. Our work is different: user can access to market interface and offer their reserved resource back to provider in a smaller time-scale. Resource re-trade. This extend the cooperation to users and help archive overall efficiency and higher resource utilization.

We provide the framework

We experiment with this model: synthetic

We will develop more.

BMBF important Points in the Research report

CFP

7th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2014) December 8-11, 2014, London, UK

http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2014/

Context and Scope

Cloud Computing promises to deliver computational resources on demand as services that are commoditised and delivered as in traditional utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Utility with Cloud services can already be achieved for compute, storage and communication resources but also for hosted software and data. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility. There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these model could be used to provide utility for both users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers will also be of interest for this conference.

This will be the 7th UCC in a successful conference series. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), and Dresden, Germany (UCC2013). UCC 2014 happens while cloud providers worldwide add new services and increase utility at an accelerated pace and is therefore of high relevance for both academic and industrial research.

Topics of interest include:

Tutorials Proposals: 18 July, 2014

Paper Submissions Due: 18 July, 2014

Notification of Acceptance: 29 August, 2014

Early Registration Deadline: 29 September, 2014

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through EasyChair(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2014) . Manuscripts may not exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, USA, and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.

UCC2014 Doctoral Symposium

The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive and shepherding environment in which PhD students can present their research proposal and attend UCC. Students will be able to discuss their research objectives, methods and approach and results at various stages of their research. The aim is to solicit feedback on their research from well established researchers and attendees. The Symposium is also an opportunity for students to network with peers and get mentored by leading academics and practitioners in the field of utility and cloud computing. Doctoral Symposium Scope

The technical scope of the Symposium is that of UCC. We invite students at different stages to submit Doctoral Research Papers and Extended Research Abstracts to the Doctoral Symposium: Students at an initial stage should have decided on research topic, question and approach and have outlined a research proposal to get the most out of the Symposium. Students at a mature stage (third or fourth year) are assumed to have on a concrete research questions, approach and evaluation.

Topics of interest to UCC include (but are not restricted to):

Big Data and Analytics
Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including pricing and service models
Policy languages and Programming models
Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds
Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated
Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS)
Virtualisation technologies and other enablers
Economic models and scenarios of use
Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces
Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring
Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science) and business
Software Engineering For/In the Cloud
Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds
Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contexts

Format and Submission Guidelines

We solicit three types of contributions: i) Doctoral Research Papers, ii) Extended Research Abstracts and iii) Doctoral Posters. Doctoral Research Papers are limited to 6 pages, Extended Research Abstracts are limited to 4 pages and Doctoral Posters are limited to 2 pages in IEEE double-column format. The page limit includes figures, tables and references.

Your contribution needs to cover:

The technical problem to be solved with a justification of its importance
An account of related and prior works that explains why these works have not solved the problem
The specific research problem or question that your thesis work will address
A sketch of the proposed approach or solution
The expected contributions of your dissertation research
Progress in solving the stated problem
The methods you are using or will use to carry out your research
A plan for evaluating your work and presenting credible evidence of your results to the research community

The Doctoral Symposium Committee will select participants based on the potential quality of the research and its relevance to UCC, Quality of the research abstract and diversity of background, research topics and approaches. Accepted contributions will appear in the UCC 2014 Proceedings. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. All submissions must be in English and made electronically through EasyChair. Upon notification of acceptance, all authors will be asked to compete a Copyright form and will receive further instructions for preparing their camera ready versions according to the UCC 2014 Format and Submission Guidelines. All authors will be expected to be able to meet the tight UCC 2014 camera-ready copy deadline and to present their work at UCC 2014. Doctoral Symposium Chair
