*Cloud computing: methodology, systems, and applications* Editor: Lizhe Wang <http://sites.google.com/site/lizhewang/>, Rajiv Ranjan<http://sites.google.com/site/rranjans/>, Jinjun Chen <http://www.swinflow.org/>, *Boualem Benatallah* CRC, Taylor & Francis group <http://www.crcpress.com/> http://sites.google.com/site/cloudcomputingsystem/conference/cloudbook *Introduction* A computing Cloud is a set of network enabled services, providing scalable, QoS guaranteed, normally personalized, inexpensive computing infrastructures on demand, which could be accessed in a simple and pervasive way. Conceptually, users acquire computing platforms or IT infrastructures from computing Clouds and then run their applications inside. Therefore, computing Clouds render users with services to access hardware, software and data resources, thereafter an integrated computing platform as a service, in a transparent way. Users thus can on-demand subscribe to their favorite computing infrastructures with requirements of hardware configuration, software installation and data access demands. The Cloud computing distinguishes itself from other computing paradigms, like Grid computing, Global computing, Internet Computing in the following aspects: user-centric interfaces, on-demand service, QoS guaranteed offer, autonomous system organization, scalability and flexible services. This book is expected to serve as an important reference and a milestone for research on Cloud computing since 2007, when the term of “Cloud computing” was coined. We solicit survey & review papers, original research, technical implementation, and case studies in various fileds of Cloud computing. *About CRC* The history of the CRC, Taylor & Francis group <http://www.crcpress.com/> has paralleled the history of science.

------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 9th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC 2011) Perth, Australia, 17-20 January, 2011 http://www.swinflow.org/confs/auspdc2011/ in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week, 17-20 January 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Submission deadline: 30 August 2010 Type of submission: full research paper, full industry experience/demo paper, or extended abstract. Submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=auspdc2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview/Scope: The 9th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed (AusPDC 2011) will be held in January, in Perth, Australia in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week, 17-20 January 2011. Scope of the Symposium In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following this successful event, it comes to the 9th this year in the series. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and distributed computing has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves towards knowledge economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both countries in these areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and access to remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse populations. Topics of interest for the symposium include but not limited to: * Multicore * GPUs and other forms of special purpose processors * Cluster computing * Grid computing * Green computing * Cloud computing * Peer-to-peer computing * Service computing and workflow management * Managing large distributed data sets * Middleware and tools * Performance evaluation and modeling * Performance accelerators * Problem-solving environments * Parallel programming models, languages and compilers * Runtime systems * Operating systems * Resource scheduling and load balancing * Data mining * Computational Science and Engineering * Agent-based computing * Reliability, security, privacy and dependability * Applications and e-Science The symposium is primarily targeted at researchers from Australia and New Zealand, however in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to enable collaboration of distributed virtual organizations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers. Best Paper Award: A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will be presented to a paper receiving the highest quality rating. In addition, a special issue in a high quality international journal will be organized for selected best papers.
