MaTCHBOx2019

Overview

The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum to discuss ongoing research activities on the hybrid cloud model with special focus on the multicloud approach and the business opportunities it brings. Advantages of the multicloud model range from increase of flexibility to reduction of reliance on a single cloud vendor, which in turn brings concrete benefits such as cost effectiveness, service continuity, disaster mitigation, etc. Countersides are the need of plans for data governance and compliance following the recent GDPR directive, higher costs for the management of the cloud sprawl, increase of application delivery’s complexity, deployment and management and more. This workshop encourages submissions that propose experimental solutions, case studies, deployed systems and best practices

Keynotes
