CO= NTEXT AND SCOPE

Cloud Computing delivers computational resources on-= demand as services
that are commoditized and delivered analogous to trad= itional utilities such as
electricity, gas, water and telephony. Cloud s= ervice offerings for compute,
storage and communication resources as wel= l as for hosted software and data
are growing at a tremendous rate, and = it is essential to understand how to
effectively transform these service= s into Utilities that provide value to both
users and providers. There i= s also increasing interest from commercial
providers to offer business a= nd revenue models around the services they
offer. Understanding how thes= e models could be used to provide utility for
users, intermediary broker= s (aggregators) and providers is also an area of
active research. UCC is= the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas
related to Cloud Com= puting as a Utility and provides an international forum
for leading rese= archers and practitioners in this important and growing field.
