Services Transactions on Cloud Computing (STCC)
http://www.hipore.com/stcc

Cloud Computing has become a salable services consumption and delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualization of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g. hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service).

The Services Transactions on Cloud Computing (STCC) includes topics related to the advancements in the state of the art standards and practices of Cloud Computing, as well as emerging research topics which are going to define the future of Cloud Computing. Topics of interest to include, but are not limited to, the following:
