************************************************************** Open Journal of Cloud Computing (OJCC): Call for Papers (www.ronpub.com/ojcc) **************************************************************

Special Issue "Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics" (http://www.ronpub.com/index.php/journals/ojcc/special-issues/upcoming-specia...)

This Special Issue will contain extended versions of the best papers of Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics - ESaaSA 2014 (http://closer.scitevents.org/ESaaSA.aspx).

**SCOPE: This special issue will present a summary of Emerging Software as a Service (ESaaS) and analytics, which have been adopted and used extensively by a variety of organizations. ESaaS and analytics offer added values such as improvements in efficiency, technical performance and service ratings. Examples include Health Informatics as a Service (HIaaS) to compute simulations in tumor, proteins, DNAs and human organs. Security as a Service (SeaaS) provides recommendation and safeguards security for all aspects of Cloud. Financial Software as a Service (FSaaS) can compute pricing and risk, offering quality services for entrepreneurs and decision makers. Education as a Service (EaaS) can deliver modern education and a high quality learning experience. We are seeking papers to demonstrate proof-of-concept, design and implementations, case studies and use cases for adopting ESaaS and analytics, including experiments, technical evaluations and user experiences.

**TOPICS: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Health Informatics as a Service (HIaaS) for any type of health informatics, computation and services - Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) including frameworks, empirical approaches and data processing techniques - Big Data algorithm, methodology, business models and challenges - Security as a Service including any algorithms, methodology and software proof-of-concepts - Financial Software as a Service (FSaaS) including risk and pricing analysis; predictive modelling - Education as a Service (EaaS) including e-Learning and educational applications - Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) including workflows and supply chain in the Cloud - Software Engineering approaches, including formal methods, agile methods and theoretical algorithms for Cloud - Natural Science as a Service (NSaaS) including weather forecasting and weather data visualization - System Design and Architecture - Mobile System as a Service (MSaaS) - Gaming as a Service (GaaS) - Framework (conceptual, logical or software) - Analytics as a Service (AaaS) for any types of analytics - Electrical Platform as a Service (EPaaS) - Energy-saving and Green IT applications - Middleware and agents for Cloud, Grid and Cluster Computing - Integration as a Service (data; service; business; federated clouds) - Scheduling, service duplication, fairness, load balance for SaaS and Analytics - Tenant application development including customization, verification, simulation, and testing on SaaS and Analytics - SaaS QoS, security, reliability, availability, service bus mechanisms - Social Clouds and Analytics - User Evaluations and Case Studies - SaaS, Big Data and Analytics demonstrations and research discussions from computing scientists, business IS academics and industrial consultants - Any emerging services - e-Government, e-Commerce, e-Science and creative technologies for the Cloud
