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.
