Scope Call for Participation Program Schedule

The 15^th International Conference on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture (CLOUD 2026) brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud technologies and their transformative impact on modern enterprises. As organizations continue to modernize their digital ecosystems, cloud computing has become far more than a cost saving strategy, it now serves as a foundation for innovation, agility, and intelligent automation across every sector.

Call for Papers

CLOUD 2026 provides a premier forum for addressing these opportunities and challenges. We invite contributions that illuminate the future of cloud computing from foundational architectures and data center scale systems to AI infrastructure, edge intelligence, sustainability, and emerging paradigms such as confidential computing and quantum cloud integration.

The conference welcomes original research results, innovative projects, comprehensive surveys, and industrial case studies that demonstrate significant advances in computer science, engineering, and cloud driven applications.
