We welcome any innovative approaches from computer scientists, IT researchers, business IS academics and industrial consultants that relate to Software as a Service (or Cloud, Grid and Cluster Computing and Big Data Analytics). We also offer position papers (up to 6 pages, single column) for anyone who has a good progress of SaaS and analytics research and who would like to share their results.

We will provide each delegate a certificate of participation and offer a ‘best presenter award’.

A few best papers will be published in a special issue of RonPub's Open Journal of Cloud Computing (OJCC).

Those who plan to get their extended version of workshop papers published in a Cloud Computing book, they should also submit their two-page proposal here:http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1175
