It's all in the Cloud...
Abstract:
Cloud computing enabled a tremendous change in the creation of rapid sociotechnical systems, particularly when individual companies did not possess the knowledge, power, capability and resources to deploy next generation services. Today, Amazon, to name but one of several major cloud computing providers (i.e. Amazon Web Services), offers over 175 services to its clients. It goes without saying that most companies “exist in the Cloud”. And even if not in true software-as-a-service or infrastructure-as-a-service delivery, all companies require the Internet today, away from traditional bricks and mortar establishments. The Internet also, is almost always depicted by the use of a Cloud motif. But taken beyond an analogy what are the issues related to wholly “existing in the Cloud”? What are some of the major concerns with “cloud” provisioning? What are the risks? For example, data breaches, outages, disaster recovery and redundancy. This talk will also cover the emergence of machine computation that is required closer to the point of delivery to ensure the protection of the end-user, and also speed and security (e.g. TinyML for implantable devices). Despite the proliferation of digital storage, this presentation also considers the limitations of cloud computing storage together with spatial constraints and the real physical costs that are usually not factored.

11th International Conference on Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering
The pace of change has become blisteringly fast. There is technology in everything and everywhere. Every now and then a new technology pops up in the market. Computer Science and Information Technology have a profound influence on all branches of science, engineering, management as well. This event is dedicated to technical symposia, tutorial and workshop sessions. Technical symposia include oral or poster presentation of research papers grouped into parallel tracks. Workshops, tutorials, Keynote talks from experts, panel discussions are also included in the program schedule of the conference.
