The 1st International Workshop on Autonomic Management of Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC’13)
Co-located with the ACM Cloud and Autonomic Computing Conference (CAC 2013)
Miami Beach, Florida, USA -- July 29, 2013
Eden Roc Renaissance -- 10AM - 5:30PM
Overview
Cloud computing is shifting the IT paradigm from “owning” to “borrowing” by instantly providing compute/storage resources on demand since Cloud computing can provide costeffective, fast, and unlimited virtualized resources in large-scale data centers through outsourcing. While providing public cloud services (infrastructure, platform, applications, etc.) over the Internet is the most popular type of Cloud computing, many organizations and companies are also building private Cloud services within their own firewall to improve security and reduce the internal IT operation/management cost. On the other hand, Grid computing, as another type of utility computing that is able to provide a large number of computing resources across multiple organizations, can be utilized and seamlessly bridged on demand with Cloud resources as the scientists’ need arises. With such various types of compute/storage resources, scientific applications are able to harness appropriate resources on demand in order to improve the performance and reduce the cost at the same time.
To date, however, little research efforts have been conducted on managing hybrid (virtualized) computing resources especially in such a large unprecedented scale, both in industry and academia. To efficiently manage such a large scale federated hybrid computing infrastructures, it is inevitable to have the resources “autonomously” manage themselves and cooperate with each other. With this goal, this workshop focuses on the theory and practice of the autonomic resource management of Hybrid Cyber Infrastructures including Public & Private Cloud and Grid resources. We solicit original research works that discuss the challenges in the design, implementation, and evaluation of novel autonomous hybrid Cloud resource management systems, and the theory and practice of Cloud and Grid resource management.
