On behalf of the HotCloud '11 Program Committee, we invite you to submit papers that describe novel research directions, as well as practical experiences, in the area of cloud computing. HotCloud brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working on cloud computing technologies. There are many challenges in the design, implementation, and deployment of cloud computing, such as automated service provisioning, service monitoring and management, resource elasticity and interference/isolation between users, cloud programming models, economic models, charging and accounting, and service creation using virtual appliances. We believe that cloud computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, HotCloud will provide a forum for both academics and practitioners to share their experience, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging "hot" trends in this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Platform as a service * Software as a service * Infrastructure as a service * Elasticity and availability in a cloud * Multi-tenancy * Storage cloud * Charging models and economics * Power-efficient ("green") computing for clouds * Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery * Cloud management and configuration * Programming models * Virtual appliance management and composition * Security and privacy in clouds * New applications for clouds * Mobile clouds * Cloud usage scenarios Submissions are due March 7, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. EST. For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/hotcloud11/cfpa We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Storage systems continue to present important research challenges and opportunities today. The rapid increase in the volume and variety of digital data, the trend toward using commodity components rather than custom-built hardware, the ability to insert new filesystem functionality transparently in hypervisors, the emergence of persistent storage memory technologies, the challenges of "big data," the rise of distributed key-value stores (such as nosql), and the proliferation of storage devices in consumer electronics all offer exciting opportunities and new challenges. We expect the workshop submissions to advocate fresh, unorthodox approaches advancing the state of the art in file and storage systems design. Ideas presented in the workshop should provide a new look at storage technologies and eventually lead to work that will likely appear in top-tier systems conferences. The HotStorage workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in presenting their thoughts and engaging in discussions with their colleagues. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Cloud storage * Storage for virtualized datacenters * Clustered storage architectures * Storage for mobile and embedded systems * Key-value and "nosql" storage * Solid-state storage * Archival storage * Storage at home * Search and data retrieval * Storage security * Caching, replication, and data consistency * Interactions of storage systems and databases * The challenges of "big data" * Storage system performance modeling and prediction Submissions are due Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at 9:00 p.m. PST. For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/hotstorage11/cfpa HotStorage '11 will be part of the USENIX Federated Conferences Week, which will take place June 12-17, 2011.
