============================================================================================================<br>
<br>
Cloud computing, networking, and their related service management including grid computing (as appropriate) have recently emerged out of marketing
<br>
hype to viable computing/networking tools for reducing infrastructure deployment and service management costs without sacrificing the quality of
<br>
service/experience (QoS/E).<br>
<br>
Although the virtualization of computing and networking resources, and their self-organizing interconnection is at the heart of it, the
<br>
methods/mechanisms/tools that are used to expose (visualization) resources and their utilization (the application programming interfaces of APIs) for
<br>
developing anything (*) as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. Security, privacy, and multi-tenancy support requirements
<br>
add another dimension to the already complex set of Cloud —computing and networking— management problems.<br>
<br>
This JNSM SI on CCNS management will include invited and referee-recommended papers on the following topics:<br>
<br>
- Cloud Applications and Services<br>
--> Any computing, data-storing, and networking as a service<br>
- API for enabling Cloud-based Services<br>
--> Public, Private, and Hybrid (toolkit approach) APIs<br>
- Virtualization (of any and all resources) and Hosting<br>
--> Virtualization of Clients/Desktop, Applications, Services, and Databases<br>
--> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Storage/FileSystems/Database<br>
--> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Scheduling of resources<br>
--> Resources Mobility and Multi-tenancy<br>
- Protocols and Interoperability<br>
--> Adaptive Protocols for Generic Cloud Services<br>
--> Inter-Domain Service-Specific Adaptive Protocols<br>
- Private, Public, Community, Hybrid Clouds<br>
--> Addressability, Networking Extensions, Service Quality Agreement<br>
- Cloud Service Logging and Monitoring<br>
--> Including Auditing and Verification<br>
- Soft and Hard Privacy and Security for Cloud-based Services<br>
--> Process, Practice and Mechanisms<br>
- Risk, Resiliency, and SLA (RRS) of Services in Clouds<br>
--> Risk-tolerance, MMTF, MMTR, etc. for Components and Apps/Services (End-to-End)<br>
- Cloud Service and Infrastructure Management<br>
--> Including Visualization, Automation, Debugging and Diagnosis<br>
- Reports from CCNS management Experiments and Filed Deployments<br>
--> University, Consortia, Industry/ Field Trials, etc.<br>
- Mobility Management in Cloud Computing<br>
--> Cloud service hosting mobility and service migration<br>
--> Elastic computing using mobile codes<br>
- Policy management in Cloud computing<br>
--> Regulations and export control of using Cloud computing<br>
<br>
