CCEM Overview

Conference Scope

The top-rated CCEM conference series, which was introduced in 2012, is now hosting the Thirteenth (13th) IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM).

Over the past few years, cloud computing has been a dominating and revolutionary paradigm in information technology, and it is starting to have an impact on a wide range of sectors, including government, finance, telecommunications, education, retail, energy and utilities, and transportation. The research in cloud computing has become quite active and covers a wide range of topics, such as networking, storage, security, virtualization, efficient cloud architectures, enormous multi-tenancy, cloud application and service design, and cloud service administration. With AI algorithms, evaluating massive amounts of data to create content specifically for target audiences, content production has become more dynamic and focused.

Cloud computing continues to remain the future with studies suggesting more than 50% of all information technology will transition to a new paradigm within the next five to ten years. AI in the media and entertainment industry has seen a rise in innovation in this area too. AI has become increasingly important in gaming, podcasts, content suggestions, sentiment analysis, speech recognition, book publishing, film production, and marketing. This transformation has great implications for emerging markets which have the potential to leapfrog mature markets in their adoption of cloud computing, combine cloud computing and mobile technologies, AI, Gen AI & Meta AI etc. to introduce unique services that can transform the lives of billions, drive a much larger scale of adoption and challenge existing price points, while presenting unique challenges in areas such as security and user interfaces to Industry 4.0.

The goal

This research driven innovation conference has established itself as an unique conference that combines top notch peer-reviewed research papers (acceptance rate less than 10%), invited talks from renowned industry and government leaders, posters and demos showcasing latest innovations, a startup showcase highlighting the vibrant and fast growing business ecosystem around cloud, tutorials on cutting edge topics, and a doctoral symposium featuring some of the deep research topics being pursued by academic leaders.

Conference Format

The conference will be a Three-day event featuring invited talks, peer reviewed paper presentations, tutorials, technology showcase followed by panel discussion.
