As a new-generation of computing paradigm, cloud computing aims to provide flexible resource allocation on demand over either private clouds or public clouds in the scale of data centers, with the promise of realizing on-demand computing, green computing, transparent computing, and high-performance computing. Here, resources refer to computation capacity or CPU slices, storage, and/or communication bandwidth. Cloud computing has recently attracted broad attentions from both industry and academia and promoted various on demand services such as software as a services (SaaS), platform as a services (PaaS), hardware as a service (HaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) with new techniques such as layered cloud/service architecture and resource virtualization to achieve benefits such as reduced capital expense (CAPEX) and operational expense (OPEX) with increased availability, flexibility and functionality. Yet, there are still many open and unresolved issues including reliability, security and privacy, system performance optimization, large-scale storage, efficient resource virtualization techniques (CPU virtualization, storage virtualization and link virtualization), and the lack of uniform standard. This workshop aims to provide a discussion platform for both researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas on cloud computing, which will be held jointly with IEEE INFOCOM 2011 http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2011/
