Special Interest Grous (SIGs)
About SIG-CLOUD (Cloud Computing)
The Services Sector has account for 79.5% of the GDP of United States in 2016. The world's most services-oriented economy, with services sectors accounting for more than 90% of GDP. The goal of S2 is to foster Building the Modern Services Industry through Services Computing technogies and business innovations.
This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research that includes business componentization, services modeling, services creation, services realization, services annotation, services deployment, services discovery, services composition, services delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring, services optimization, as well as services management.
The enabling technology suite includes Web services, service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, big data, internet of things, edge computing, blockchain, mobile internet, metaverse, business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation and integration.
To rapidly respond to the changing economy, the Technical Activities board at the Services Society (https://ServicesSociety.org/) has created a set of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a platform for innovating the services technologies and applications.
The Special Interest Group on Cloud Computing (SIG-CLOUD) promotes creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to the emerging Cloud Computing technologies and applications. The supporting conference is the International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD, theCloudComputing.org) and the International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE, theEdgeComputing.org) .
SIG-CLOUD Activities
The Special Interest Group on Cloud Computing (SIG-CLOUD) covers all topics regarding sharing resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. Cloud Computing has become a scalable services consumption and delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualization of hardware and software. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g., hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g., Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g., business process as a service).
For traditional cloud models, the technical topics of interest include but not limited to the following:
- Infrastructure As A Service (IaaS)
- Platform As A Service (PaaS)
- Software As A Service (SaaS)
- Cloud Security and Privacy
- Cloud Storage
- Cloud Application Development
- Cloud Performance Management
- Industry-Specific Clouds
- Business Models in Cloud
- Serverless
- 5G Cloud
Conference Sponsored: International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD)
For localized resource sharing and connections with the cloud, Edge Computing is a natural extension of the traditional cloud computing paradigm. The Edge Computing group at SIG-CLOUD covers all topics related to Edge devices, Edge communication protocols, Edge storage, Edge integration, and Edge applications.
Technical topics of interest include but not limited to the following:
- Edge Storage
- Edge Connections
- Edge Analytics
- Edge AI
- Edge Processing Engine
- Industry-Specific Edges
- Edge Application Innovations
- 5G and Edge
- 5G and Cloud
