Special Issue on Dynamic Intelligence for Sustainable Computing

http://grid.chu.edu.tw/SI/JIT/

Theme and Scope

The ever-growing cloud computing and services provide dynamic intelligence and play an increasingly critical role in all aspects of our lives. With dramatically increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have been scaled tremendously which results in huge amount of energy consumption, heat dissemination, greenhouse emission and even part of climate change. As such, green computing has come to
the picture seeking solutions for computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high quality research in any new idea, method, theory, technique, and applications for enabling sustainable and green computing with dynamic intelligence. The objective of this special issue is to showcase the most recent developments and research in the cloud and green computing fields, as well as to enhance its state-of-the-art. Original and research articles are solicited in all aspects, including theoretical studies, practical applications, new communication technology, and experimental prototypes. The papers will be peer reviewed and selected on the basis of both their quality and their relevance to the theme of this special issue.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Dynamic Intelligence for IaaS
- Dynamic Intelligence for PaaS
- Automated and adapted services for dynamic intelligence
- New idea and prototype implementation for dynamic intelligence
- Commercial or Industrial business models for dynamic intelligence
- Practice of high performance computing and communications for dynamic intelligence
- Power-aware algorithms and protocols
- Power-aware software and hardware
- Life-cycle analysis of IT equipments
- Energy harvesting, storage and recycling
- Renewable energy models and prediction
- Embedded systems and its software for dynamic intelligence

Special Issue - Call for Papers

Dynamic Collective Work (September/October 2013)

Final submissions due: 4 Jan. 2013
Publication date: Sept./Oct. 2013

Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan
to submit by 15 Dec. 2012.

The Internet has changed the way in which data is circulated and has shifted us from a world of paper documents to a world of online documents, databases, and provenance systems. This has also increased the size and complexity of systems that support today's globally distributed, rapidly changing, and agile collaborative enterprises. Such systems are becoming increasingly federated and are generating a huge number of events at different granularity levels. Tweets, blog posts, instant messages, Facebook updates, and other social media data now comprise a portion of this data. Industries such as healthcare, insurance, and banking have witnessed an explosion in the growth of dynamic collective work that has been fuelled by
such systems and data.

Dynamic and collective activities are characterized by their flexibility and people-driven nature. Automobile insurance claims handling, order processing of prescription drugs, patient case management in a hospital, and recovery and response assistance during natural disasters are just a few examples. Various factors determine the set of actions that must be performed and the order in which they're executed, including human judgment and document contents. This special issue of IC seeks original articles describing research efforts and experiences concerning Internet-supported dynamic collective work. Appropriate topics include

mining and analysis of data and activities involved in dynamic collective work, including event correlation, process discovery, adaptive learning, and change detection;
social network discovery and the collaboration dynamics of people involved in dynamic collective work;
support for dynamic collective work, including recommendations, predictive analytics, simulation, and visualization;
data management and system integration issues;
and emerging applications, including real-world deployments of Internet-supported dynamic collective work platforms in business, science, collaboration, finance, insurance, healthcare, and other areas.

All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, with each figure counting as 250 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC's international readership—primarily system and software design engineers. We do not accept white papers, and we discourage strictly theoretical or mathematical papers. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an account, which you can use to log on to IC's Author Center and upload your submission.
