DescriptionCloud computing provides on-demand availability of computing resources for users. It allows enterprises to run their applications with improved manageability, less maintenance, and reduced overall cost. In addition, cloud computing is able to meet fluctuating computing demand through data/compute "bursting” across cloud boundaries. According to data reported by leading market analysis companies, the global spending on cloud computing services has reached $706 billion now and expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2025. Important new cloud computing paradigms have emerged as well, including hybrid cloud and multi-cloud.
Designing efficient, performant, and secure cloud systems requires a holistic and systematic approach and novel interdisciplinary research. This is due to the unique challenges faced by future clouds: high system complexity, difficulty for test, evaluation, and monitoring, vulnerability from security attacks and data leakage, unpredictable latency, non-ideal system configurations, high energy and carbon emission, and complicated communicating interfaces across multi-clouds. Each of these challenges, if not solved well, will become a roadblock for the future growth and promises of cloud computing.
In this special session, four prominent industrial leaders with excellent cloud computing expertise from large cloud or computing hardware vendors will share their unique insights, vision, and solutions for the design of the next-generation cloud computing systems. They will focus on grand future opportunities, challenges, and promising research solutions and directions. The special session will provide a holistic and interdisciplinary coverage for the design of the next-generation cloud computing systems in areas including application and algorithm design, AI for system design, distributed computing, big-data storage, cloud computing infrastructure, computer architecture and accelerator design, security and privacy, and design automation across different system stacks.
