Cloud computing and big data share similar intrinsic features, such as distribution, parallelisation, space-time and being geographically dispersed. Utilising these intrinsic features would help provide cloud computing solutions for big data with computing infrastructure capability to process and obtain unprecedented information. At the same time, big data poses grand challenges as opportunities to advance cloud computing.
This special issue aims to provide a fresh and state-of-the-art report on relevant recent advances in cloud and big data technologies. It will attempt to address the different technical challenges related to cloud and big data technologies from different perspectives by providing a good overview of the differentiated approaches that are currently possible and promising. The issue also aims to introduce readers to the challenging, multi-faceted and broad scope of cloud and big data technologies, and to present an up-to-date picture of current hot topics and state-of-the-art solutions in the field.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the First International Conference on Advanced Cloud and Big Data (ICCD 2013), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
