Call for Book Chapter proposals and book chapters for the book titled
"Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures".
Overview
=======
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud systems allow the dynamic
creation, destruction and management of Virtual Machines (VM) on
virtualized clusters. IaaS clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to
the end user that allows the creation of on-demand services through a
pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. The increasing
range of choices and availability of IaaS toolkits has also allowed
creation of cloud solutions and frameworks suitable for private
deployment and practical use even on smaller scales. As a result, many
academic infrastructure service providers have started transitions to
add cloud resources to their previously existing campus and shared grid
deployments. To complete such solutions, they should also support the
unification of multiple cloud and/or cloud and grid solutions in a
seamless, preferably interoperable way. Hybrid, community or
multi-clouds may utilize more than one cloud systems, which are also
called as cloud federations. The management of such federations raise
several challenges and open issues that require significant research
work to be done in this area.
This book will provide a dedicated forum for sharing the latest results,
exchanging ideas and experiences, presenting new research, development
and deployment efforts in developing and running interoperable,
federated IaaS cloud systems. This book will be an excellent venue to
help the community define the current state, determine further goals and
present architectures and service frameworks to achieve highly
interoperable federated cloud infrastructures. The book will focus on
presenting solutions to interoperability and efficient management
challenges faced by current and future infrastructure clouds. The book
will document and present measured comparisons or practical information
on realistic, real-world solutions.
Objectives
=========
The more widespread cloud computing technologies are, the more likely
people will face the interoperability issues when several cloud
infrastructures must be used in parallel. So, the book should be well
suited to the practicioners who utilize cloud infrastructures and they
would like to avoid lock in issues or to increase the reliability of
their virtual infrastructures. On the other hand, with the raise of
private cloud infrastructures, hybrid clouds, cloud bursting
technologies and partial outsourcing solutions planned to be offered in
the book will aid the private infrastructure providers to help
efficiently dealing with temporal under-provisioning situations
Target Audience
========
This book, Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud Architectures,
is aimed at people involved in any aspects of cloud practices such as
infrastructure cloud administrators, cloud developers and cloud users.
Furthermore, as opposed to “general” cloud related books, this book's
specific focus on cloud federation aims at readers with specific
interest in topics not addressed elsewhere such as federation policies,
energy awareness, federation use cases, legal aspects of federation,
scheduling and interoperability.
Topic coverage:
=======
Case studies of interoperable and federated solutions across multiple
infrastructures
Application programming interfaces and standards for interoperability
and federation
Practical experiences in increased energy-efficiency of interclouds and
federations
Federation, inter- and multi-cloud compatible service agreements, SLAs
and quality of service systems
Virtual machine scheduling, management and deployment algorithms in
interoperable and federated cloud systems (considering multi objective
solutions, energy efficiency etc.)
Federation and interoperability challenges in mixed grid and cloud systems
Accounting and identity management solutions that support
federation-level models
Legal issues and data privacy in federated Cloud management
Security problems, considerations and solutions for hybrid mixed
public/private clouds
Performance evaluation, prediction and comparison across multiple
federated cloud systems
Scalability issues and comparisons of different cloud federation approaches
Storage management, focusing on interoperability and multi cloud placement
Novel IaaS architectures incorporating federative constructs in their
foundations
Virtual appliance marketplaces and repositories meeting the demands and
serving multi-cloud systems
Cloud federation-aware Big Data management solutions
New use cases to support workflow systems in multi-clouds and in
federative contexts (predictive VM scheduling, advanced reservation etc.)
Submission Procedure
=======
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before January
30, 2015, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining
the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be
notified by February 28, 2015 about the status of their proposals and
sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by
May 30, 2015. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind
review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers
for this project.
Notes:
There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to
this book publication, Developing Interoperable and Federated Cloud
Architectures.
All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review
editorial process.
References within each chapter must be in APA style or the chapter will
be returned to the book editor for correction.
