Part II: CFPs of IJAHUC special issue on Advances in Transparent Computing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Computing paradigms have greatly evolved with the rapid advances in hardware, software and networking technologies. Transparent Computing (TC), as a user-controlled cloud computing, is an emerging technology with the features of streaming-based scheduling and execution, user orientation, and platform independence. TC enables users to accomplish local tasks efficiently and flexibly through any type of devices while demanding computing and storage services residing in remote servers.

Typical TC applications, such as transparent regional medical information sharing system and transparent campus information system, need to use the high performance computing (HPC) technology to share the computing tasks of terminals. Furthermore, similar to Internet of Things (IoT), TC adapts to heterogeneous networks and protocols in order to make people enjoy intelligent services, anytime and anywhere. Finally, security and reliability is another crucial issue to the success of TC. Therefore, high performance and transparent computing (HPTC), Internet of Things and transparent computing (IOTC), and Security and Reliability in Transparent Computing (SRTC), are attracting researchers and practitioners with more and more attention.

Motivated by TC's fundamental features and combination with existing techniques, i.e. HPTC, IOTC and SRTC, this special issue of IJAHUC aims to collect quality research proposals with a solid background in both theoretical and practical aspects. 

The special issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers based on the upcoming 3 joint international workshops, co-located in Zhangjiajie, China, 13-15 November, 2013:
(1) IEEE HPTC 2013 (http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/hptc2013/)
(2) IEEE/IFIP IOTC 2013 (http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/iotc2013/) 
(3) SRTC 2013 (http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/srtc2013/)

We will also solicit independent call for papers in order to collect some papers from open submissions outside these 3 workshops.
