2nd Workshop on Software Services
Members of the e-Infrastructure community should take a look at the 2nd Workshop on Software Services, which will be held in Timisoara, Romania, June 6-9 2011. The event will include discussion of challenges and trends in the software services domain, and will include academics, practitioners and representatives of industry.
The event mainly targets the cloud community, but with the emergence of multi-clouds, which federate resources from multiple cloud providers (such as the work of the mOSAIC project, who will speak at the event) the problems tacked by gSLM will be of interest here as well.
A call for papers for the event is below.
