Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Cloud is a natural evolution of distributed computing, and has spearheaded the widespread adaption of virtualization and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology.

We are long for novel papers on topics including (but not limited to):

  •    Cloud Architecture and Virtualization

  •    Cloud Services and Applications

  •    IoT and Mobile on Cloud

  •    Security and Privacy in the Cloud

  •    Distributed Cloud

  •    Cloud Brokering

  •    Edge and Fog Computing

In order to be responsible stewards of other people’s data, cloud providers must be accountable for their data handling practices. The potential long provider chains in cloud computing introduce additional accountability challenges, with many stakeholders involved. Symmetry is very important in any requirements’ elicitation activity, since input from diverse stakeholders needs to be balanced. This article ventures to answer the question “How can one create an accountable cloud service?” by examining requirements which must be fulfilled to achieve an accountability-based approach, based on interaction with over 300 stakeholders.
