It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of the International Workshop on Optimization techniques for Resources Management in Cloud -- ORMaCloud 2013 -- co-located with the 22nd ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing.
This workshop has been conceived to be a forum for presentation of research results and experience reports on management and optimization issues related to dependability, scalability, economicity and performance at each level of cloud computing infrastructures. In fact, cloud computing is gaining an increasing degree of popularity and interest both in the industrial and in the scientific community, allowing customers to outsource the management of physical resources by renting in a pay-per-use fashion a variable amount of resources according to their actual needs. Anyhow, despite the results obtained by researchers, advancing in information technology poses many challenges on resource management to hide customers the details of physical resources and to provide a flexible and efficient environment to users. The main focus of the workshop is to share novel Cloud resource optimization solutions that fulfill the needs of heterogeneous applications and environments as well as to identify new directions for future research and development.
The call for papers attracted high-quality submissions from several countries. Among these contributions the program committee accepted five papers covering a wide variety of topics. In addition to these contributions, the program includes an opening speech on Cloud Federations held by Dr. Massimo Coppola.

Meryn: open, SLA-driven, cloud bursting PaaS
PaaS (Platform as a service) systems are revolutionizing the way modern applications are developed and hosted. Current PaaS offerings provide limited support for managing SLAs (Service Level Agreements) that constrain application quality properties, ...
Smart cloud federation simulations with CloudSim
In the last few years the broad diffusion of Cloud Computing has encouraged the proliferation of cloud computing providers. However, providers often propose their services using proprietary management software, interfaces and virtualization ...
Integrating acceleration devices using CometCloud
Application accelerators can include GPUs, cell processors, FPGAs and other custom application specific integrated circuit (ASICs) based devices. A number of challenges arise when these devices must be integrated as part of a single computing ...
Fast (re-)configuration of mixed on-demand and spot instance pools for high-throughput computing
Commercial cloud offerings let users allocate compute resources on demand, charging based on reserved time intervals. Users, however, lack guidance for assembling instance pools from different cloud instance types, in order to control completion time ...
Analysis of control-theoretic predictive strategies for the adaptation of distributed parallel computations
In adaptive distributed parallel applications the adaptation process is based on the ability to change some characteristics of parallel components, such as the parallelism form and the parallelism degree, in response to unexpected execution conditions. ...
