Abstract

Cloud computing is a new paradigm for software systems where applications are divided into sets of composite services hosted on leased, highly distributed platforms. There are many new software engineering challenges in building effective cloud-based software applications. This special issue provides a set of practical contributions to the engineering of cloud computing applications and includes software processes, architecture and design approaches, testing, scalability engineering, security engineering, and applications of highly parallel cloud-based systems.
