By offering computing as a utility at a high economy of scale, cloud
computing has great potential to reshape the landscape of the IT
industry. Following a service-oriented paradigm, cloud computing
enables customers to build scalable software services hosted on
large-scale data centers while allowing these services to be accessed
through a variety of computing devices over the Internet. As cloud
computing technologies have been maturing, enterprises are
increasingly adopting this new computing paradigm to solve important
business problems. Indeed, Gartner Inc. has identified cloud computing
as one of the Top 10 strategic technologies for 2012.

And yet cloud computing continues to face deep technical challenges.
These challenges are multifaceted and span almost the entire spectrum
of computer science. On the service-hosting side, extremely
large-scale data centers must offer secure, highly available services
while maintain energy and performance efficiency. This continues to
spur innovation in hardware architecture and systems software design.
On the service-delivering side, service discovery and delivery
mechanisms must support thousands of globally distributed client
devices with highly diverse hardware and software configurations.
Although this concern is partially addressed by web services in the
traditional service-oriented computing environments, cloud computing
environments require that the design and architecture of existing web
services be revisited.

In light of these technological trends, this special issue will focus
on fundamental research problems in cloud computing technologies,
including novel studies underlining the challenges and opportunities
presented to web services in the cloud computing era.
