Call for Papers Journal of Mobile Multimedia Special Issue: Cloud Computing http://www.rintonpress.com/journals/jmmonline.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud computing is a promising paradigm for the provisioning of IT services. Cloud computing infrastructures aim to facilitate the seamless deployment, management and execution of services on a top of possibility heterogeneous and distributed hardware and software infrastructures such as networked data centers. Computing Clouds provide the ability to lease computational resources at short notice, on either a subscription or pay-per-use model and without the need for any capital expenditure into hardware or software for the customers. They could therefore concentrate on developing innovating services without worrying about the allocation of the resources to support them. The main advantage of Clouds providers is their capability to provide the illusion of unlimited and immediate provisioning of resources to the subscriber while at the same time providing acceptable pricing schema. However, to provide such flexibility in managing the resources, many facets of systems and data management issues should be revised. Many challenging issues with respect to architectures, resources provisioning, scalability, monitoring, security, privacy, resiliency and maintainability need to be addressed. The journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM) is soliciting original submissions, for a special issue on Cloud Computing, that illustrate research results, projects, and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the field. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to: . Cloud computing architectures, protocols and API . Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure . Design Tool for Cloud Computing . Critical infrastructure for Clouds . Mobile multimedia and cloud computing . Security and Privacy in Clouds . Quality of service and cloud computing . Cloud computing scalability . Migration into clouds . Resource provisioning and management in clouds . Domain-specific clouds . Economic and Business Models for Cloud Computing . Energy management in Clouds . Monitoring, Management and Maintenance of Clouds . Industrial cloud test-beds and benchmarking . Design, implementation and performance evaluation for cloud applications Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this Issue. The manuscripts should be prepared in standard IEEE 2-column format and submitted to one of the guest editors by November 30th, 2012, through email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected].
