New Trends in Cloud Computing for Big Data Analytics

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, innovative solutions, and emerging challenges in the intersection of cloud computing and big data analytics. 

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of aspects related to how cloud computing technologies can be effectively utilized to handle, process, and analyze vast amounts of big data. It delves into the potential of cloud platforms in providing scalable infrastructure, cost effective solutions, and high-performance computing capabilities for big data applications. 

This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics: First, it will cover cloud-based big data processing frameworks, such as how new architectures are designed to optimize data flow and computational efficiency. Second, it will cover security and privacy issues in cloud-enabled big data analytics are crucial, including techniques to protect sensitive data during storage and processing. Third, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms with cloud-based big data systems will be covered, exploring how these combinations can enhance data analysis accuracy and prediction capabilities. Fourth, this Special Issue will cover energy-efficient cloud computing strategies for big data analytics, aiming to reduce the environmental impact while maintaining performance.
