Introduction:
-----------------

Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that
are commoditized
and delivered in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as
water, electricity,
gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on
their requirements
without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are
delivered. Several
computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing
vision and these
include Grid computing, and more recently Cloud computing.

Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords in the
ICT industry.
Several IT vendors are promising to offer storage, application and
computation hosting
services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering Service-Level
Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their
services. While
these "clouds" are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and
data centres, they
are distinguished by following a "utility" pricing model where
customers are charged
based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and
transfer of data.
These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation,
application hosting and
content storage and delivery by several orders of magnitude, however
there is
significant complexity involved in ensuring applications, services and
data can scale
when needed to ensure consistent and reliable operation under peak loads.

To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances and
industrial innovations
in "Utility Computing" area, we have initiated this new conference series
"International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This
conference series has
emerged out of the past two
successful Cloud computing symposiums (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai,
China; and Cloud
2010 held in Melbourne, Australia) and focuses on both principles of
"Utility computing"
and its practical realisation in industry in different forms including
Cloud Computing.

Best Paper Award:
-------------------------

A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will be
presented to a
paper receiving the highest quality rating from the Program Committee
and external
reviewers. In addition, a special issue in a high quality
international journal will
be organised for selected best papers.


JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE:
---------------------------------------
Highly rated Top 6 papers from the UCC 2010 conference will be selected
for publication in a special issue of the "Future Generation Computer
Systems (FGCS)" Journal published by Elsevier Press.


PAPER SUBMISSION:
------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted
manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed
8 ("eight") letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and
references
using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2
inches (16.51 cm)
wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns
3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm)
wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced
10-point Times fully
justified text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be
returned without
review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make
sure that the file will
print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The
official language of the
meeting is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be
judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of
presentation, and interest and
relevance to the conference attendees.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and
sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,
exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be
considered. The proceedings will be published and will be made online
through the IEEE Xplore.

All papers should be submitted online using EasyChair submission system:
