CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: August 15, 2012 Communication Infrastructures for Cloud Computing: Design and Applications A book edited by Hussein T. Mouftah and Burak Kantarci University of Ottawa, Canada To be published by IGI Global: +ADw-A HREF+AD0AIg-http://bit.ly/KWuI6G+ACIAPg-http://bit.ly/KWuI6G+ADw-/A+AD4- Introduction With the advent of cloud computing concept, services such as software, infrastructure and platform are migrated to remote servers which are mainly hosted by the data centers. In order to fully exploit these advantages, challenges faced by the communication medium need to be addressed. These challenges include but not limited to gradual re-design of data centers, cloud-specific communication protocols in the Internet backbone, energy-efficiency of network and cloud operations, security and privacy of cloud services, efficient virtual machine consolidation schemes, efficient utilization of virtualized infrastructures, and infrastructure design to support mobile cloud applications. As there are many references presenting design and management approaches for cloud computing in the aspects of software, computing and storage systems, this book will cover a broad range of topics in communication infrastructures for cloud computing, and it will be a complementary reference for the researchers, graduate students and communications engineers who would like to take active part in the design and application development over cloud communication platforms. Objective of the Book Cloud computing era has been introducing many advantages, as well as challenges. Recently, solutions for the challenges related to cloud computing service categories, namely Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) have been studied by journal articles, conference proceedings, and even edited books. This book will cover a broad range of topics in cloud computing from communications perspective focusing on the design of communication infrastructures for efficient delivery of SaaS, IaaS and PaaS over the cloud. Target Audience This book targets reaching out to researchers, academics, and practitioners that actively take part in cloud computing. Furthermore, as a result of presenting challenges and research directions for communications aspects of cloud computing, this book will attract the research talent in the communications field that has not been fully involved in cloud computing yet. Besides, it will be a useful reference for cloud data center operators as well, due to its rich content addressing the challenges in gradual rebuilding of data centers to be able to provision cloud services. Backbone network design and re-engineering communication protocols in the backbone and access segments of the cloud network will present useful information for network operators. Furthermore, this book aims at reaching out to graduate students who are working towards their dissertations in computer science/engineering and/or related fields. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: Cloud communications in the Internet backbone ? Backbone design with data centers ? Optical clouds, virtualization ? Challenges and solutions in anycast/manycast provisioning ? Energy-efficiency in the cloud backbone Communication infrastructures in the access networks ? Cloud over wired/wireless access networks ? Mobile cloud applications Communication infrastructures in the data centers ? Data center network design ? Performance evaluation of data centers ? Realistic simulation of cloud computing data centers ? Optical inter-connects in data centers ? Virtual machine consolidation techniques Security in the cloud ? Meeting user privacy requirements ? Identity management in the cloud (e.g., authentication, key management) ? Intrusion detection in the cloud ? Vulnerability issues in virtualization ? Vulnerability issues in virtualization Applications ? SLA guarantees in the cloud infrastructure ? Process versus transport versus storage trade-offs ? Smart applications and virtual infrastructures ? Search techniques for large-scale distributed environments Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 15, 2012, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of their proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by August 15, 2012 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by November 15, 2012. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the ?Information Science Reference? (formerly Idea Group Reference), ?Medical Information Science Reference,? ?Business Science Reference,? and ?Engineering Science Reference? imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com. This book is anticipated to be released in 2013.
