*********************************************************************************************************

*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:
