<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to utility computing, cloud computing services, and other forms of advanced distributed computing. UCC provides
an international forum for leading researchers and practitioners in this important and growing multidisciplinary area. UCC 2017 in Austin reflects the need to bring academics and industrial researchers together to discuss how to improve existing services and
how to bring new applications into the cloud.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Austin is a dynamic, international city both welcoming to visitors and full of music, culture, and entertainment. The conference registration includes breakfasts, lunches,
and evening receptions including the opportunity to sign up for a space-limited tour of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, one of the flagship supercomputing centers of the international XSEDE project. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Cloud Computing delivers computational resources on-demand as services that are commoditized and delivered comfortably analogous to traditional utilities such as electricity,
gas, water and telephony. Cloud service offerings for compute, storage and communication resources as well as for hosted software and data are growing at a tremendous rate. It is essential to understand how to effectively transform these services into Utilities
that provide value to both users and providers. There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these models could be used to provide utility for users, intermediary
brokers (aggregators) and providers is also an area of active research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This will be the 10th UCC in a successful conference series of UCC conferences. the past four of which have also included BDCAT and its predecessor events. Previous events
were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), Dresden, Germany (UCC2013), London, UK (UCC 2014), Limassol, Cyprus (UCC 2015) and Shanghai, China (UCC 2016). Following
this 10th UCC in Austin, the next in this series of conferences will be held in Zurich, Switzerland in December 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
