Executive Editors Appointed – International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC)
We are pleased to share that Prof. Andrew W.H. Ip (University of Saskatchewan, Canada) has been appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing. Under his leadership, Dr Cathy Lam (Centre Director of BDIC) and Dr Jack Wu (Head of Cloud innovation School) have also been appointed as Executive Editors.
Grid and utility computing continue to play an important role in advancing high-performance computing, e-science, virtual collaboration, service-oriented architectures, and computational intelligence. These areas are increasingly connected with today’s hot topics, including AI, big data analytics, mobile technologies, and smart decision-making.
This appointment closely aligns with the research and teaching directions of the School of Decision Sciences and the Big Data Intelligence Centre at HSUHK, particularly in promoting interdisciplinary development in AI-enabled decision support and data-driven applications.
Congratulations to Prof. Ip, Dr Lam, and Dr Wu on their new editorial roles. We look forward to their continued contributions to the international research community.
About IJGUC
IJGUC addresses grid and utility computing which represent fundamental paradigms for next-generation parallel and distributed computing systems, enabling distant collaboration, resource discovery/sharing, data-intensive applicative infrastructures and high-throughput environments to address on-demand large-scale scientific, engineering, and business problems. Grid and utility computing have significantly contributed to the advancement of cloud computing, e-science, high performance computing, virtual organisations and collaboration, scientific workflows, and service-oriented architectures. They exploit synergies with different areas such as peer-to-peer computing, semantic web, wireless/mobile technologies, and computational intelligence.
Topics covered include
- Grid, utility, cloud computing and applications
- Resource allocation, scheduling, service discovery, capacity management
- Middleware, monitoring, load balancing, workload management
- Performance evaluation, simulation/modelling, toolkits
- Security, trust, maintenance, socio-technical/management issues
- Fault tolerance, reliability, availability
- Knowledge, service-oriented, semantic grids and clouds
- Integrated grid, cloud, P2P, mobile/wireless architectures
- Green computing/IT, power-aware models/environments
- Grid economics, market economy, business oriented models
