The Road Ahead

The first issue of 2015 includes four peer-reviewed articles covering topics ranging from energy efficiencies in cloud deployments to interoperability between personal and infrastructure clouds to support the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as an invited article discussing software engineering requirements in cloud-scale computing. The departments explore interesting and thought-provoking topics such as Amazon as a software provider and the competitiveness of cloud pricing. IEEE Cloud Computing also welcomes two new editorial board members: Lutz Schubert and Yongwei Wu.
