Call for Papers on Cloud Computing

For a Special Issue of International Journal of Computers and Their Applications - IJCA

[A printer-friendly version of the CFP is available at http://www2.cs.siu.edu/~dche/IJCA13/IJCA-CFP-Cloud.pdf]

Cloud Computing represents the most recent major shift in computing and Information Technology strategy. The "Cloud" is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the widespread adaption of virtualization and SOA. In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet and with essential characteristics such as on-demand, elasticity, metered services, and rapid provision (without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology). The International Journal of Computers and Their Applications - IJCA ( http://www.isca-hq.org/journal.htm http://www.isca-hq.org/journal.htm) has scheduled a special issue (tentatively as the 2013 September issue of 2013) on Cloud Computing, and is calling for papers regarding any issues related to Cloud Computing.

This special issue will be guest-edited by Dr. Dunren Che ( http://www2.cs.siu.edu/~dche/ http://www2.cs.siu.edu/~dche/) at Southern Illinois University Carbondale ( http://www.siu.edu/ http://www.siu.edu/). Interested authors please submit your manuscripts as email attachment (pdf files) to Dr. Che at mailto:dhce@cs.siu.edu dhce@cs.siu.edu before Dec. 1st, 2012. Authors are recommended to prepare their manuscripts according to the journal's Instruction for Authors (available at http://www.isca-hq.org/j-authr.htm http://www.isca-hq.org/j-authr.htm), but format in the final two-column format (sample available at http://www.cs.siu.edu/~dche/IJCA13-speical-issue-on-cloud/IJCA_sample_artic le.pdf http://www.cs.siu.edu/~dche/IJCA13-speical-issue-on-cloud/IJCA_sample_articl e.pdf). Recommended paper length is 10 - 12 pages in the final two-column format. All manuscripts received will go through the strict review process as required by the journal. The guest editor would like to conduct a blind review process and thus requires authors to hide their identity information from their manuscripts.
