Special Issue on Elastic Data Management in Cloud Systems CFP IJCSSE

Scope and Topics:

The adoption of cloud computing is increasingly growing since today's applications continuously produce huge volumes of heterogeneous data that are accessed and shared in large scale environments. The elastic management of such data is one of the most important research areas in cloud computing. It raises new problems regarding modeling, storage, processing, optimization, cost model, replication, data privacy and security, and monitoring services.

The objective of this special issue on 'Elastic Data Management in Cloud Systems' is to address the challenges of data management in cloud environments. We welcome original papers with real research contributions on theoretical, methodological and practical issues in this challenging area. We also encourage papers that address state of the art and trends of data management issues in such environments.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Cloud infrastructures for big data management

- Support for scalable and elastic services

- Virtualization for cloud databases

- Service level agreement management for cloud systems

- Business models and economic pricing policies

- Cloud data management for mobile applications

- Data privacy and security

- Transactional model for cloud databases

- High availability, reliability and fault tolerance

- Dynamic data placement issues

- Service discovery

- Query processing, indexing and optimization in cloud computing systems

- Cost models

- Replication and caching

- Data storage

- Partitioning and load balancing

- Database as a service

- Advances in NoSQL databases

- Multi-tenancy and workload isolation

- Languages for massively parallel query execution

- Performance evaluation and benchmarking

- Cloud applications and experiences
