| Sumario: | Nau mai, haere mai, piki mai ki Tamaki Makaurau Tena koutou katoa, The Auckland University of Technology are proud to host the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) co-located workshops in 2019. The university prides itself as the university for change, with a special emphasis on leading edge technologies and research. As the youngest of Aotearoa/New Zealand's universities, the Auckland University of Technology continues to grow rapidly both in terms of student numbers and rankings. To that end, the workshops this year are being held in the Sir Paul Reeves Building on the City Campus, which provides a great environment for the workshops. The workshops will all be within easy access of each other and the workshop chairs are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for the conference attendees and presenters. The UCC has a long tradition of organizing co-located workshops; starting from its 4th edition in 2011. Workshops play an important role in creating an environment to discuss and disseminate ideas that are at an early stage of development, but which have a significant potential impact on the research area going forward. Workshops are often the incubation stage for developing new ideas, some of which may be conceptual, but which can mature into substantial contributions longer term. We therefore see workshops sessions generating a lot of discussion around a particular topic and we encourage authors to present their work in a way that support this type of interaction. As observed by previous workshop chairs, these co-located events are intending to create a relaxed platform for researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and service providers to share and discuss their ideas, experiences, challenges, work-in-progress, and practical implementations related cloud computing.
