Intelligent Management of Cloud, IoT and Big Data Applications

Submission status

Intelligent solutions are needed for today’s complex, large-scale systems and applications. Big data is an example of this that refers to large datasets, characterized with high volume, variety, velocity, variability, veracity and complexity. Cloud and related distributed processing infrastructures such as fog and edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) produce and consume various kinds of application and system data at large scale, but also do so sometimes in resource constrained environments. Intelligent data processing can help with improved, automated self-adaptive systems management as well as better application processing. This special issue connects intelligent analytics and processing technquies with their applications in cloud as well as supporting edge and IoT infrastructures. The issue focuses on intelligent solutions to large-scale computing problems, presenting new methods of analysis and processing for these application types. This emerging need to join intelligent processing in the presence of complexity and scale is addressed by this special issue covering a range of specific challenges in this context.
