This IEEE Cloud Computing Magazine Special Issue on Middleware for Multicloud aims to cover all aspects of design and implementation, as well as deployment and evaluation of multicloud middleware and its components. A middleware for multicloud connects multiple clouds to allow automatic, transparent, and on demand application execution that takes advantage from the synergy among resources of different providers. For this synergy to become effective and efficient, connecting different providers across their boundaries brings new, challenging efforts. Multicloud middleware design and deployment must solve challenges that include resource management and scheduling, identity management, trust and security issues, business models, and incentive mechanisms in multicloud environments. We invite authors to submit outstanding and original manuscripts on all aspects related to middleware for multiclouds, including, but not limited to:
- Cloud Middleware design and implementation
- Auditing and Accounting
- Middleware performance and evaluation
- Middleware for Data Management
- Multicloud Middleware for the Internet of Things
- Middleware for Cloud Federations
- Middleware for Hybrid Clouds
- Brokering Mechanisms
- Resource Discovery and Management
- Scheduling and Load Balancing
- Cross-service-level Mgmt (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, XaaS)
Submission details
Submissions will go through the IEEE Cloud Computing Magazines’ peer-review process. Articles should be between 3,000 and 5,000 words, with figures counting for approximately 250 words each and maximum of 15 references should be used. The authors should not assume specialized audience, thus the manuscript should be understandable to a broad audience of people interested in cloud computing and multiclouds.
