Citation: Workshop on Cloud Services, Federation, and the 8th Open Cirrus Summit, San Jose, CA, USA, 21 September 2012, ISBN# 978-1-4503-1754-2
In conjunction with the International Conference on Autonomic Computing, San Jose, 18-20 Sep. 2012.

A workshop in conjunction with ICAC 2012 that will brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss ideas and challenges in cloud services and federated cloud computing. With your help, we hope to accelerate the discussion in both commercial and academic contexts.
Focus of the Workshop
The services offered by clouds are becoming critical for a wide variety of applications used by industry, education and government.There are now many examples of successful cloud services offered by public, private and community clouds. Many efforts exist that are creating cloud toolkits and frameworks to simplify the development and delivery of cloud services.
The main purpose of this workshop is to bring together those responsible for designing, managing, and operating clouds services so that they can share experiences with each other. The workshop also welcomes users with requirements for new cloud services.
We are particularly interested in cloud services that can be used for federating clouds. Topics of interest include:
- Experiences, best practices, and lessons learned from operating cloud services
- Testbeds for designing new cloud services
- Cloud services for federating clouds
- Management and provisioning of cloud services
- Health and status monitoring of cloud services
- Security of cloud services
- Requirements for new cloud services
- Reliability and fault tolerance of cloud services
- Cloud services that span public and private clouds
- Design of cloud services
- Intercloud services
- Federation service
- Identity services
- Cloud bursting services
- Cloud services for emerging applications
- Applications utilizing such services
- Cloud Software and Tools
- IaaS, PaaS, Hadoop
This workshop will build upon the success of the prior Open Cirrus events and the prior Open Cloud Consortium events. The goal is to help building a community for those responsible for operating clouds and cloud testbeds, as well as those interested in designing new cloud services.

With our framework, it is not only possible to allocate resources at a particular time to a specific Infrastructure as a Service framework, but also to utilize them as part of a typical HPC environment controlled by batch queuing systems. Through this interplay between virtualized and non-virtualized resources, we provide a flexible resource management framework that can be adapted based on users' demands. The need for such a framework is motivated by real user data gathered during our operation of FutureGrid (FG). We observed that the usage of the different infrastructures vary over time changing from being over-utilized to underutilize and vice versa. Therefore, the proposed framework will be beneficial for users of environments such a FutureGrid where several infrastructures are supported with limited physical resources.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2012 Workshop on Cloud Services, Federation, and the 8th Open Cirrus Summit}, pages = {25–32}, numpages = {8}, keywords = {cloud seeding, federated clouds, cloud shifting, futuregrid, cloud metric, rain, dynamic provisioning}, location = {San Jose, California, USA}, series = {FederatedClouds '12} } -
