International Journal of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to computing with a pool of virtualised computer resources. A cloud can host different workloads, allows workloads to be deployed/scaled-out on-demand by rapid provisioning of virtual or physical machines, supports redundant, self-recovering, highly-scalable programming models and allows workloads to recover from hardware/software failures and rebalance allocations. The idea is to move desktop computing to a service-oriented platform using server clusters and huge databases at datacentres. IJCC addresses innovative developments, research issues/solutions in cloud computing and related technologies.
