S2GSC 2017 - Special Issue on “Secure Sustainable Green Smart Computing” (S2GSC)

Currently, the booming development of cloud computing has resulted in a remarkable growth of multiple industries in which dramatic demands of green computing and sustainability are addressed. The platform of smart computing has provided an efficient approach for connecting various infrastructure such that many new technologies are eventually formed, such as Internet-of-Thing and ubiquitous computing. The concept of sustainable green smart computing has become a significant issue for those enterprises or practitioners who are engaging the implementations of smart computing aiming a longer term strategy. Considering the achievement of the real sustainability, one of the crucial values is to ensure all operations across different computing sources are under a secure executive environment.
For reaching a high performance of securing sustainable green smart computing, many problems need to be solved. For example, one of the main challenges is to balance the costs among security, energy, performance, and sustainable requirements. The distribution of the computing resources in this issue is a great challenge because the real-time executions are usually constrained by multiple elements. An efficient approach of providing an adaptive and scalable service as well as addressing sustainability is an urgent research direction for current advanced cloud computing applications.
This special issue aims at collecting updated outstanding papers that illustrate the latest achievements and development updates concerning the security solutions, issues, applications, trends, and implementations in sustainable green smart computing. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics in focus of this special issue:
? Energy-aware design and programming models in sustainable cloud computing
? Energy-efficient resource management in secure smart computing
? E-mobility and smart security in sustainable green cloud computing
? Internet-enabled infrastructures and services in sustainable green cloud computing
