Conjointly, virtualization is becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. The cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource owners and users, adding services such as hosted application frameworks and queueing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in cpu-intensive or data-intensive computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resources dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the application community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Lightning talks are limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations.
