*********************************************************************************************************
*Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Special Issue on "Cloud
Monitoring Systems"*
*********************************************************************************************************
*SCOPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS*
This special issue will focus on promoting novel research on cloud
monitoring systems, especially in levels that have remained unexplored
(e.g. federation, replication, across cloud integration, etc.). Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Monitoring systems for cloud infrastructure/platform applications as
compared to existing approaches.
- Integration to different monitoring systems in the cloud.
- Scalability of cloud monitoring systems.
- Characterisation of monitoring needs for applications, platforms and
infrastructures (minimum rates, response time, maximum number of events,
etc.).
- Practical comparison of different monitoring systems that aids users
to select among a series of alternative systems under different conditions.
- Practical use cases of decision-making modules fed with a given
monitoring system and architecture.
- Monitoring management tools that deal with cloud applications
throughout their entire lifecycle (e.g. scaling decision-making modules
or application governance modules that can be exposed as a service).
- Languages and tools for expressing/automating monitoring needs.
- Mobile application monitoring.
- Virtual network probes (e.g. How to place network monitoring elements
in a public cloud?).
- Evolution of multi-tenant monitoring as a function of the number of
tenants.
- Policy-based monitoring across cloud providers.
Please note that, an Internet available demo or a live video (hosted by
the authors) is desirable and would positively affect the review
outcome. For more information, please see:
