Cloud computing, networking, and their related service management including grid computing (as appropriate) have recently emerged out of marketing hype to viable computing/networking tools for reducing infrastructure deployment and service management costs without sacrificing the quality of service/experience (QoS/E).

Although the virtualization of computing and networking resources, and their self-organizing interconnection is at the heart of it, the methods/mechanisms/tools that are used to expose (visualization) resources and their utilization (the application programming interfaces of APIs) for developing anything (*) as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. Security, privacy, and multi-tenancy support requirements add another dimension to the already complex set of Cloud —computing and networking— management problems.

This JNSM SI on CCNS management will include invited and referee-recommended papers on the following topics:

- Cloud Applications and Services --> Any computing, data-storing, and networking as a service - API for enabling Cloud-based Services --> Public, Private, and Hybrid (toolkit approach) APIs - Virtualization (of any and all resources) and Hosting --> Virtualization of Clients/Desktop, Applications, Services, and Databases --> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Storage/FileSystems/Database --> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Scheduling of resources --> Resources Mobility and Multi-tenancy - Protocols and Interoperability --> Adaptive Protocols for Generic Cloud Services --> Inter-Domain Service-Specific Adaptive Protocols - Private, Public, Community, Hybrid Clouds --> Addressability, Networking Extensions, Service Quality Agreement - Cloud Service Logging and Monitoring --> Including Auditing and Verification - Soft and Hard Privacy and Security for Cloud-based Services --> Process, Practice and Mechanisms - Risk, Resiliency, and SLA (RRS) of Services in Clouds --> Risk-tolerance, MMTF, MMTR, etc. for Components and Apps/Services (End-to-End) - Cloud Service and Infrastructure Management --> Including Visualization, Automation, Debugging and Diagnosis - Reports from CCNS management Experiments and Filed Deployments --> University, Consortia, Industry/ Field Trials, etc. - Mobility Management in Cloud Computing --> Cloud service hosting mobility and service migration --> Elastic computing using mobile codes - Policy management in Cloud computing --> Regulations and export control of using Cloud computing
