CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Communications
Special Issue on Cloud and Big Data

http://academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_cbd.html

Submission Deadline:       extended to May 21, 2013

In the current digital age, data is generated in many forms, from web logs to 
social data, from sensor networks to scientific research.  The value of this 
data has proven valuable for many purposes and has led us into the Big Data 
era.  Due to the large volume of data, Big Data requires significant storage, 
processing, and bandwidth resources.  To date, the Cloud provides the largest 
collection of disk storage, CPU power, and network bandwidth, which makes it a 
natural choice for housing the Big Data.  

However, the Cloud is more than just storage and computing facilities.  It 
provides services in many forms: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform 
as a service (PaaS), Storage as a service (SaaS), Data as a service (DaaS), 
etc.  The power of the Cloud has been demonstrated by the fast emergence of 
cloud services, such as iCloud and Google Drive.  The Cloud provides great 
flexibility in storage, data processing, data management, new service 
provisioning, and more.  In addition, the Cloud makes the data accessible 
anywhere at any time, which can further facilitate data generation, making Big 
Data even bigger.

When moving Big Data into the Cloud, it is important to note that the large 
storage, processing, and bandwidth requirements offer three basic technical 
challenges.  First, we need efficient and scalable storage solutions to store 
the data.  The storage system should not only house the data, but also provide 
efficient access to the data.  Second, we need efficient data processing 
solutions of heterogeneous structures.  Third, we need efficient and scalable 
network solutions to move the data, particularly as data backup and data 
migration can be costly due to the high demand for network bandwidth.  However, 
these are not the only challenges.  The rapid growth of Big Data may offer many 
other challenges, including challenges related to data mining, programming 
models, security, and many more.

In this special issue, we invite researchers to share their insights and 
advancements in Cloud for Big Data.  The goal is to initiate new developments 
in the Cloud and Big Data.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Cloud storage for Big Data
* Cloud computing for Big Data
* Big Data in the Cloud, including movement, collection, processing, 
visualization, management, etc.
* Programming models for Big Data in the Cloud
* Cloud system architecture for Big Data
* Energy issues around Big Data in the Cloud
* Security issues around Big Data in the Cloud
* Implementation issues around Big Data in the Cloud
* Emerging cloud services for Big Data in social science, scientific research, 
etc
* Performance optimization related to Big Data in the Cloud
* Cloud resource utilization for housing Big Data
