Second International Workshop, ALGOCLOUD 2016. — Aarhus, Denmark, August 22, 2016. Revised Selected Papers. — Springer International Publishing, 2017. — ISBN: 978-3-319-57044-0 ISBN: 978-3-319-57045-7;The International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing (ALGOCLOUD) is an annual event aiming to tackle the diverse new topics in the emerging area of algorithmic aspects of computing and data management in the cloud. The increasing adoption of cloud computing introduces a variety of parallel and distributed algorithmic models and architectures. To leverage elastic cloud resources, scalability has to be a fundamental architectural design trait of new cloud databases. This challenge is manifested in new data models (“NoSQL”), replication, caching and partitioning schemes, relaxed consistency, and transaction guarantees as well as new protocols, APIs, indexing and storage services.
