Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing

The stated scope of SoCC is to be broad and encompass diverse data management and systems topics, and this year's 34 accepted papers are no exception. They touch on a wide range of data systems topics including new architectures, scheduling, performance modeling, high availability, replication, elasticity, migration, costs and performance trade-offs, complex analysis, and testing. The conference also includes 2 poster sessions (with 30 posters in addition to invited poster presentations for the accepted papers), keynotes by Eric Brewer of Google/UC Berkeley and Samuel Madden of MIT, and a social program that includes a banquet and a luncheon for students and senior systems and database researchers. The symposium is co-located with the 41st International Conference on Very Large Databases, VLDB 2015, highlighting the synergy between big data and the cloud.
