The CloudCom 2010 conference will include an emerging research and development session that includes student projects, new cloud commercial products, hot topics and wild and crazy ideas. Each accepted project will be displayed or demonstrated during the poster/exhibit/demo session, the evening of Wednesday, December 1.

All audiences are welcome to submit their research material, presentations or demonstrations that they would like to make available for the conference, including students, researchers and those from corporations dealing with cloud technologies. All three types of material will be held in a single space, with research exhibits and posters available during the conference reception. This is the perfect opportunity to get exposure for your research in the Cloud Community.
