Microservices and Cloud-Native Solutions: From Design to Operation

A special issue of the open-access journal "Information" (MDPI, ISSN:
0167-6423)

 

Aims and scope

Microservices and cloud-native solutions are gaining more and more momentum
in enterprise IT, with major IT players (such as Amazon, Netflix, Spotify,
and Twitter) already adopting them to deliver their core businesses.
Cloud-native solutions enable organizations to design, develop, and run
scalable multiservice applications in modern and dynamic environments like
the Cloud. Microservice applications are probably the most prominent example
of cloud-native solutions, which in general enable obtaining loosely coupled
and highly scalable multicomponent systems. Combined with containers,
deployment automation technologies, and CI/CD, cloud-native solutions allow
application providers to continuously deliver their software, with software
updates released frequently with minimal toil. 

 

At the same time, microservices and cloud-native solutions are inherently
complex, due to the high number of interacting software components forming
microservices/cloud-native applications. This makes their design,
development, enactment, and management costly, complex, and error-prone.
Solutions and best practices for accomplishing such tasks are hence needed
and set the scope for this Special Issue. Theoretical and practical research
papers, as well as review papers, are all welcome. 

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

*	Availability, fault-resilience, and scalability in microservices and
cloud-native solutions;
*	Best practices and empirical studies on microservices and
cloud-native solutions, and on their adoption;
*	CI/CD and deployment automation in microservices and cloud-native
solutions;
*	Design principles, architectural smells, and architectural
refactoring of microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Fault localization in microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Formal methods, models, and techniques for microservices and
cloud-native solutions;
*	Infrastructure and integration components for microservices and
cloud-native solutions;
*	Integration of microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Model-driven design and development of microservices and
cloud-native solutions;
*	Programming languages for microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Reverse engineering for microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Security of microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Serverless applications and function-as-a-service solutions;
*	Microservices and cloud-native solutions adaptation, exploitation,
and deployment over the Cloud-to-IoT computing continuum (including fog and
edge infrastructures);
*	Testing of microservices and cloud-native solutions;
*	Verification of microservices and cloud-native solutions.

 

Submission Window 

Manuscripts should be submitted online (see "Submission Instructions"
below). Manuscripts can be continuously submitted until the deadline: May
1st, 2021. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as
soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website.
Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are
invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words)
can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
