*NEW*: SPECIAL ISSUE:
A selection of the best papers from the conference will be invited to a special issue at Service Oriented Computing and Applications (https://link.springer.com/journal/11761, Impact Factor 1.3)

INTRODUCTION:
We cordially invite you to submit your original contributions to IEEE JCC2024 – the 15th IEEE International Conference on JointCloud Computing, which will take place in Athens on July 15-18, 2024. Please refer to the conference web page https://ieeejcc.com/ for more information.

Cloud Computing technologies have become the backbone of modern IT infrastructures. Businesses usually adopt a multi-hybrid cloud strategy to achieve optimized portfolios of cloud services provided by different vendors and avoid single-vendor lock-in. Meanwhile, this strategy brings technical challenges and complexities to building, managing and operating multi-hybrid clouds. JointCloud is used to refer to but not limited to Hybrid-Cloud, Inter-Cloud, Multi-Cloud, Cloud Federation, Cross-Cloud and Cloud Service Broker (CSB), computing network convergence, big data systems, information-centric networking, and blockchain.

The IEEE JCC2024 aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange innovative ideas, the latest research results, and practical experiences and lessons learned around JointCloud.
