**** Call for Papers ****
Cloud computing delivers infrastructure, platform, and software
(application) as services, which are made available as subscription-based
services in a pay-as-you-go model to consumers. These services are
respectively referred to in industry as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Clouds aim
to power the next generation data centers by architecting them as a network
of virtual services (hardware, database, user-interface, application logic)
so that users are able to deploy and access applications globally and on
demand at competitive costs depending on users QoS (Quality of Service)
requirements. Developers with innovative ideas for new Internet services no
longer require large capital outlays in hardware to deploy their service, or
human expense to operate it. It offers significant benefit to IT companies
by freeing them from the low level task of setting up basic hardware
(servers) and software infrastructures, and thus enabling more focus on
innovation and creating business value for their services.
Emerging Cloud computing applications such as application level Internet
services (e.g. Salesforce.com, Animoto.com), social networking, e-Research,
and e-Business are inherently large and complex. Furthermore, the
infrastructure hosting cloud services are similarly large and complex, with
heterogeneous resource types that may exhibit highly dynamic resource
conditions in terms of their availability, load, power efficiency, and heat
profiles.
With ever increasing system scale, operational costs, and energy
requirements; maximizing overall utility in terms of cost-effectiveness, and
utilization is mandatory. Furthermore, coupled with the complexity,
heterogeneity, uncertainty, dynamism, and criticality of applications hosted
within clouds, there is a requirement for designing and developing of
methodologies that adapt to changing states and behaviors of the Cloud
computing environments in accordance with high-level guidance specified by
system administrators. Self-Managing or Autonomic techniques are inspired by
biological systems that deal with similar challenges of complexity,
dynamism, heterogeneity, and uncertainty, and provide a promising approach
for addressing this requirement. The primary objective of this special issue
is to capture the state-of-the-art in design and development of Autonomic
Cloud Computing technologies, applications, and services. Papers that focus
on end-to-end autonomic cloud system/application behaviors are of particular
interest to this special issue.
