*Submissions due: November 04, 2012*

*Estimated Publication date: July/August, 2013*

Cloud computing has emerged as a dominant paradigm that has been widely 
adopted by enterprises. Clouds provide on-demand access to computing 
utilities, an abstraction of unlimited computing resources, and support 
for on-demand scale up, scale down and scale out. Clouds are also 
rapidly joining more traditional computing platforms as viable platforms 
for scientific exploration and discovery, and education. As a result, 
understanding application formulations and usage modes that are 
meaningful in such a hybrid infrastructure, what are the fundamental 
conceptual and technological challenges, and how applications can 
effectively utilize it, is critical.

The goal of this special issue of CiSE is to explore how Clouds 
platforms and abstractions, either by themselves or in combination with 
other platforms, can be effectively used to support real-world science 
and engineering applications. Topics of interest include (but are not 
limited to) algorithmic and application formulations, programming models 
and systems, runtime systems and middleware, end-to-end application 
workflows and experiences with real applications.

Published by the IEEE Computer Society, Computing in Science & 
Engineering magazine features the latest computational science and 
engineering research in an accessible format, along with departments 
covering news and analysis, CSE in education, and emerging technologies.

We strongly encourage submissions that include multimedia, data, and 
community content, which will be featured on the IEEE Computer Society 
website along with the accepted papers.

*Submission Guidelines*

Authors are asked to submit high-quality original work that has neither 
appeared in nor is under consideration by other journals.  All 
submissions will be peer-reviewed following standard journal practices. 
Manuscripts based on previously published conference papers must be 
extended substantially to include at least 30 percent new material. 
Manuscripts should be written in the active voice, should be no longer 
than 7,200 words (counting each standard figure and table as 250 words), 
and should follow the style and presentation guidelines of /CiSE /(see 
*www.computer.org/cise/author* <http://www.computer.org/cise/author>for 
details).

Please submit your article using the online manuscript submission 
service at *https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee*. When uploading 
your article, select the appropriate special-issue title under the 
category "Manuscript Type." Also include complete contact information 
for all authors. If you have any questions about submitting your 
article, contact the peer review coordinator at *cise at computer.org*
