New Engineering in Cloud Computing and Cloud Data

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, we have witnessed a startling rise of cloud computing services by sharing resources to achieve agility, scalability, elasticity, and coherence for unaware users. Many applications and information systems are designed in cloud architectures with dedicated policies, strategies, and methods. The rapid growth of engineering techniques in cloud computing offers new opportunities, but also raises many challenges. Therefore, this Special Issue provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent engineering progress in the area of cloud computing and cloud data.

This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers, in the overlapping fields of:

• Business, industry, healthcare, transport, and other cloud-hosted applications;
• Cloud-based information systems;
• Cloud databases and data centers;
• Elastic computing and utility computing;
• Cloud service models, cloud architectures, and microservice architectures;
• Content delivery networks;
• Cloud engineering;
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning for intelligent cloud services;
• Security and privacy in could computing;
• Virtualization for cloud computing.

Prof. Dr. Ming Liu
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
