19th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems & Services
The First Hybrid Edition of GECON
GECON 2022 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and fully virtually. The conference is designed and meant to be a hybrid conference to take advantage of the best that the two modalities can offer.

13-15 September 2022 - Springer LNCS Proceedings
GECON 2022 builds upon the very successful tradition of the conference previous editions since 2003 (http://www.gecon-conference.org). GECON solicits contributions that are interdisciplinary, combining business and economic aspects with engineering and computer science related themes. Contributions to this conference can include extensions to existing technologies, successful deployments of technologies, economic analyses, analyses of technology adoptions, and theoretical models. We welcome papers that combine micro- and macro-economic principles with resource management strategies in computer science and engineering. Case studies, which demonstrate practical use of economic strategies, benefits and limitations, are particularly encouraged. The purpose of this event is to gather original work and build a strong multidisciplinary community in this increasingly important area of a future information and knowledge economy.
Publication and Submission Guidelines
GECON 2022 solicits full papers, work-in-progress (WIP) papers and posters. Original full papers present completed research that is original and contains new ideas or methodologies. The paper illustrates results that demonstrate the performance of the research. Original WIP papers present research that addresses a challenging research question but does not necessarily contain a completed analysis. After the success of the last editions, GECON will include a poster session. Posters may be submitted directly to the poster session. In addition, to improve work exposure and human interaction, any accepted paper and paper-in-progress is entitled and encouraged to present a poster.
Original full papers and short papers (work-in-progress papers), which are not currently under review by another conference, will be considered. Manuscripts will be reviewed based on technical merit, originality, and relevance. Past acceptance rates have been around 30% in recent years. Full papers and short papers (work-in-progress papers) shall be submitted using the Springer LNCS format. Submitted full papers should not exceed 12 pages and WIP papers should not exceed 8 pages (including references and appendices). For further details, visit the GECON 2022 web page. Paper submissions are managed through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gecon2022.
Posters can be submitted as an extended abstract (4 pages + 1 page poster) which should not exceed 4 pages using theSpringer LNCS format describing the poster content, research,relevance and importance to the GECON community. Additionally,the submission must include a fifth page that is an A4 draftof the poster. Poster dimensions: A0 size is recommended but A1 is also acceptable. Landscape.
Authors of accepted full papers and short papers (work-in-progress papers) are also welcome to present their work in poster sessions, giving them a higher visibility then just giving a talk.
New-idea papers provide a unique opportunity for PhD studentsa, young and senior researchers to present their starting activities, current progress,or novel approaches to their works. New ideas papers will beincluded in the poster sessions.
The proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS.
Extended versions of up to 10 accepted papers in the Computer Science field will be invited for publication in a special issue of the - Elsevier Journal of Future Generation Computing Systems. For papers targeting mainly business and economic aspects, a special issue of the - Springer Electronic Markets Journal or the - Elsevier Electronic Commerce Research and Applications - Springer Electronic Commerce Research with up to 15 papers is foreseen.

Submission Guidelines for Special Topic Session Proposals
GECON 2022 looks for proposals for special topic sessions. With the objective of encouraging alternative forms of participation that can increase the opportunity to discuss technical topics and new ideas in a round table atmosphere, we solicit special topic proposals.
The special topic sessions program seeks to provide venues for specialist groups to meet, to generate focused discussion on specific sub-areas within the economics of distributed systems, and to engage in community-building activities. Special sessions should provide a discussion forum for researchers in topics related to topics of the conference, either on specific research themes, or in emerging areas of research.
Special topic sessions can be used, for example, for giving the opportunity to all participants to present intermediate/final results of projects, finding partners to establish collaborative research and innovation projects.
Special topic session proposals should describe briefly objectives or purpose, importance of the topic, and strategies to facilitate participation in the discussion.
The Special Topic session participants can write a joined paper or submit individual papers for the conference proceedings.
Submission Guidelines for Tutorial Proposals
GECON 2022 looks for tutorial proposals on topics related to the conference topics. The tutorials are supposed to give PhD students an overview about existing concepts, challenges, and future research directions.
Tutorial proposals should provide a title, an abstract, and a table of content.
Tutorials
Serverless Computing: State of the Art and Research Challenges
Karim Djemame (University of Leeds, UK)
Serverless computing is revolutionizing cloud applicationdevelopment as it offers the ability to create modular, highly-scalable,fault-tolerant applications. The serverless architecture has seenwidespread adoption from tech industry giants such as Amazon, Google and as well as the public domain, with open-source projectssuch as Apache OpenWhisk, Fission and OpenFaaS. This tutorial willpresent the state-of-the-art in serverless computing research, andprovide useful insights into the main challenges that motivate researchers to work on this topic. It will also identify researchgaps for future research.
