Clouds transform IT infrastructures with an emphasis on making them flexible, affordable, and capable of serving millions of users, satisfying their computing or storage demands. The design of early cloud computing systems has evolved from, and was dominated by, the concepts of cluster and grid computing. Currently, as the concepts of the cloud become advanced and mature, cloud networking and communication processes begin playing a central role. Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when datacenters are interconnected through the Internet. The optimization of cloud networking can significantly increase system performance, reducing energy consumption and save costs not only inside individual data centers, but also globally, on the Internet scale. Developing novel network architectures would facilitate adoption of modular container-based data centers. Advancements in internetworking become key enabler for building hybrid clouds and federations of clouds. Service provisioning over heterogeneous connections and wireless links can enhance computational capacity and enrich application experience of mobile users. Efficient resource management and scheduling in data centers and cloud infrastructures is open research challenge that has to be addressed and novel architectures, telecommunication technologies, and protocols must be developed to ensure efficiency of future cloud computing systems. ================================= Topics ================================= The topics covered by this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Data Center Network Management, Reliability, Optimization - Distributed Data Center Architectures and Services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS - Energy-Efficient Data Centers and Networks - Big Data Management - Internet Routing of Cloud Data - Virtual Ethernet Switching, Data Center Bridging - Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements - Intra-Cloud vs. Inter-Cloud Management - Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures - Green Data Centers and Cloud Networking - Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality in Cloud Networking - Virtualization of Network Equipment - Unified User and Machine Mobility Management - Data Flow Management and Load Balancing - Mobile Cloud Networking - Network Programmability, Software-Defined Networks - Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure - Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channels - Content and Service Distribution ================================= Important Dates ================================= Full Paper Regular Submission Due: October 15, 2014 Extended versions of CLOUDNET 2014 Best Papers due: December 15, 2014 Notification of Results: March 15, 2015 Revisions Due: April 15, 2015 Notifications of Final Acceptance: May 15, 2015 Submissions of Final Revised Papers: June 15, 2015 ================================= Notes for Prospective Authors ================================= We are looking for novel outstanding high quality contributions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special issue: Security and Communication Networks (Wiley, JCR journal) SI on Trends in modern Information Hiding: techniques, applications and detection Datum: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 07:08:10 -0400 Von: Wojciech Mazurczyk <wmazurczyk(a)CYGNUS.TELE.PW.EDU.PL> Antwort an: Wojciech Mazurczyk <wmazurczyk(a)CYGNUS.TELE.PW.EDU.PL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting a paper to the following special issue. Security and Communication Networks (Wiley, JCR journal) SI on Trends in modern Information Hiding: techniques, applications and detection. IMPORTANT DATES - Manuscript submission: 1 May 2014 - Acceptance/rejection notification: before 1 August 2014 - Expected publication: 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS As the production, storage and exchange of information becomes more extensive and important in the functioning of societies, the problem of protecting the information from unintended and undesired usage becomes more complex. In modern societies, protection of information involves many interdependent technological and policy issues related to information confidentiality, integrity, anonymity, authenticity, utility, etc. Information Hiding techniques are receiving much attention today. Digital audio, video, and images are increasingly furnished with distinguishing but imperceptible marks, which may contain a hidden copyright notice or serial number, or even help to prevent unauthorised copying directly. Digital watermarking and steganography may protect information, conceal secrets, or are used as core primitives in digital rights’ management schemes. Alongside the abovementioned types of digital media steganography, currently the target of increased interest is Network Steganography – a part of Information Hiding focused on modern networks. It is a method of hiding secret data in users' normal data transmissions. Steganographic techniques arise and evolve with the development of network protocols and mechanisms, and are expected to be used in secret communication or information sharing. Presently, it becomes a hot topic due to the proliferation of information networks and multimedia services in networks and social networks. The purpose of establishing applications of Information Hiding may be varied – possible uses can fall into the category of legal actions or illicit activity. Frequently the illegal aspect is accentuated – starting from the criminal communication, through information leakage from protected systems, cyber weapon exchange, up to industrial espionage. Recently discovered malware like Duqu and Alureon point to the alleged utilization of Information Hiding techniques in botnets for covert communication in the C&C channels, which proves that Information Hiding poses important challenges to investigators. On the other side of the spectrum lie legitimate uses, which include circumvention of web censorship and surveillance, computer forensics (tracing and identification) and copyright protection (e.g. watermarking images). This special issue intends to present some of the most relevant ongoing research in the Information Hiding field. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: • Steganography and steganalysis (steganology) • Covert/subliminal channels • Traffic morphing • Watermarking (algorithms, security, and attacks) • Novel applications of Information Hiding • Information Hiding for digital forensics & counter forensics • Digital rights management • Emerging trends in Information Hiding • Fingerprinting and embedding codes • Lossless/reversible data hiding • Security metrics for Information Hiding • Side-information transmission through data hiding • Signal restoration/enhancement by data hiding • Theoretical aspects of information hiding Guest Editors - Wojciech Mazurczyk, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland - Krzysztof Szczypiorski, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland - Hui Tian, National Huaqiao University, China Papers must be written in English and describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals or conferences. All relevant papers submitted will go through an external review process. Concerning the preparation of the manuscript, please refer to the “Instructions for Authors” page at the journal website, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%291939-0122/homepage… Further, the manuscript must be submitted through the online submission system: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn by selecting the corresponding track.
