         Special Issue "Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics"
(http://www.ronpub.com/index.php/journals/ojcc/special-issues/upcoming-special-issues)

This Special Issue will contain extended versions of the best papers of 
Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics - ESaaSA 2014 
(http://closer.scitevents.org/ESaaSA.aspx).

**SCOPE:
This special issue will present a summary of Emerging Software as a 
Service (ESaaS) and analytics, which have been adopted and used 
extensively by a variety of organizations. ESaaS and analytics offer 
added values such as improvements in efficiency, technical performance 
and service ratings. Examples include Health Informatics as a Service 
(HIaaS) to compute simulations in tumor, proteins, DNAs and human 
organs. Security as a Service (SeaaS) provides recommendation and 
safeguards security for all aspects of Cloud. Financial Software as a 
Service (FSaaS) can compute pricing and risk, offering quality services 
for entrepreneurs and decision makers. Education as a Service (EaaS) can 
deliver modern education and a high quality learning experience. We are 
seeking papers to demonstrate proof-of-concept, design and 
implementations, case studies and use cases for adopting ESaaS and 
analytics, including experiments, technical evaluations and user 
experiences.

**TOPICS:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Health Informatics as a Service (HIaaS) for any type of health 
informatics, computation and services
- Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) including frameworks, empirical 
approaches and data processing techniques
- Big Data algorithm, methodology, business models and challenges
- Security as a Service including any algorithms, methodology and 
software proof-of-concepts
