Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Big Data has become one of the most challenging research topics in current years. Big data are everywhere, from social networks to Web advertisement, from sensor and stream systems to bio-informatics, from graph management tools to smart cities, and so forth. Cloud computing environments represent the “natural” context for such data, as embedding several emerging trends, both at the research level and the technological level, which comprise high-performance, high reliability, high availability, transparence, abstraction, virtualization, and so forth.
At the convergence of these emerging trends, managing, querying and processing big data in Cloud environments plays a leading role, and algorithmic approaches to these challenges are very promising at now. These approaches come from a rich variety of multi-disciplinary areas, ranging from mathematical models to approximation models, from resource-constrained paradigms to memory-bounded methods, and so forth. On another side, algorithms for managing big data according to a “systematic” view of the problem are gaining momentum. For instance, algorithms for efficiently managing MapReduce tasks over Clouds are a clear instance of the latter scientific area.
Inspired by these exciting research challenges, the Special Issue “Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments” will explore a wide range of topics related to theory and practice of algorithms for managing big data in Cloud environments, design and analysis of algorithms for managing big data in Cloud environments, tuning and experimental evaluation of algorithms for managing big data in Cloud environments, and so forth.
More Specifically, the special issue will cover a wide collection of research topics of algorithms for managing big data in Cloud environments, including (but not limited to): •Theory of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Design of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Analysis of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Tuning of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments
•Experimental Evaluation and Analysis of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Complexity Issues of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Case Studies of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Approximation Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•(Data) Compression Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Security Aspects of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Privacy-Preserving Aspects of Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments;
•Resource-Constrained Algorithms for Managing, Querying and Processing Big Data in Cloud Environments

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
