See below. In addition to this opportunity to present our work, there is also the Journal of Grid Computing special issue call, http://cac.hpcc.ttu.edu/jogc/cloud-interop-2012/ Please do look these over and take advantage of the opportunities to highlight your work, and forward as necessary. Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Andrew Grimshaw <grimshaw(a)virginia.edu<mailto:grimshaw@virginia.edu>> Date: November 1, 2012, 7:59:26 AM CDT To: 'Alan Sill' <alan.sill(a)ttu.edu<mailto:alan.sill@ttu.edu>> Subject: FW: [computational.science] IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management -- Special Issue on Management of Cloud Services -- DEADLINE EXTENDED -----Original Message----- From: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org<mailto:computational.science@lists.iccsa.org> [mailto:computational.science@lists.iccsa.org] On Behalf Of Gregorio Martinez Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 2:20 PM To: Computational Science Mailing List Subject: [computational.science] IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management -- Special Issue on Management of Cloud Services -- DEADLINE EXTENDED IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management Special Issue on Management of Cloud Services Motivation Cloud computing is becoming recognized as a revolutionary new way to use computing and storage services more efficiently. Revenues for public cloud services for one company, Amazon Web Services, have reached almost $1 billion a year. Yet cloud computing is challenging traditional management methods as it encompasses the business support, provisioning, configuration, portability, and interoperability of cloud providers supporting cloud consumers and brokers as outlined in the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture. Business support includes the management of customers, contracts, and inventory as well as accounting, billing, reporting, auditing, pricing, and rating. Provisioning and configuration must consider rapid provisioning, resource changing, monitoring, reporting, metering, and service level agreements (SLA). Portability and interoperability concerns both efficient and inexpensive data and application migration across multiple cloud environments. This can include data portability, data object migration, bulk data transfer; a unified management interface to support service interoperability across multiple cloud providers; and the migration of applications, services, machine images or virtual machine instances from one cloud provider to another. Cloud provisions like multi-tenancy, interoperability, scalability, reliability, efficiency, support of on-demand service composition, privacy, security and advanced audit are posing a set of challenges to the management field still largely to be addressed. This special issue is intending to serve as a work of reference compiling the major achievements in the management of cloud services with emphasis on the field of network and service management. The final objective is to make cloud services and technologies more mature so as to boost and to facilitate a higher widespread uptake of cloud systems in the industry. About the issue Topics of interest, include, but are not limited to the following: . Cloud service orchestration, APIs and usage control. . Cloud service auditing, monitoring, and metering. . Design of components of a management as a service layer. . Management of cloud federations. . Mobility management in cloud scenarios. . Multi-cloud applications. . New models and paradigms for cloud service management. . Novel and emerging standards for interoperability between clouds. . QoS/QoE and SLA management in the cloud. . Secure and private management of cloud data. Submission format Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and contribution to the field of cloud computing management, as well as their overall quality and suitability for the special issue. The submitted papers must be written in a good English and describe original research which has not been published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Previously published conference papers should be clearly identified by the authors (at the submission stage) and an explanation should be provided of how such papers have been extended in order to be considered for this special issue. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/tnsm/authorgud.html For more information, please contact the guest editors at IEEE.TNSM.Cloud.Services(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:IEEE.TNSM.Cloud.Services@googlegroups.com> Submission Guideline All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the IEEE ManuscriptCentral service located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnsm Authors must make clear in an enclosing letter that the submission is for the "Management of Cloud Services" Special Issue.

rOCCI Amqp Frontend
by Srba, Maik 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, The rOcci Server now has a prototype for an amqp frontend. It is pending for preview in https://github.com/gwdg/rOCCI-server/pull/26. Please take a look and feel free to discuss and give feedback. I am pleased to your comments :-). I hope that i can commit a example amqp client for rocci later today. So you can test the implementation.
