Aims & Scope

In cloud scenarios, computing and storage resources are typically hidden from the user. Dependant on the demand of the resources of a user's application, different amount of resources can be used from a large pool of resources, which is shared among many users. Scalable applications are required, which can deal with the different amount of resources. The business model of cloud computing is often pay-per-use: You pay what you are using.

On the other hand, the current cloud scenarios are not always suitable to different types of applications. The new computing models are emerging in the past few years. These models can be summarized as CDEF, where C represents Cloudlet, D represents Dew Computing, E represents Edge Computing, and F represents Fog Computing. CDEF starts with C also implies that these four models all started from Cloud Computing. All CDEF can be classified as post-cloud computing models. While there are a few journals focused on cloud computing, OJCC is the first journal that is dedicated to post-cloud computing as well as cloud computing. OJCC provides an official publishing channel for post-cloud computing researchers, especially CDEF researchers.

OJCC publishes regular research papers, short communications, reviews and visionary papers in all aspects of cloud computing and post-cloud computing. There is no restriction on the length of the papers.

Regular Research Papers are full original findings with sufficient experimental research. They make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. Research papers should be written as concise as possible.
Short Communications report novel research ideas. The work represented should be technically sound and significantly advancing the state of the art. Short communications also include exploratory studies and methodological articles.
Research Reviews are insightful and accessible overview of a certain field of research. They conceptualize research issues, synthesize existing findings and advance the understanding of the field. They may also suggest new research issues and directions.
Visionary Papers identify new research issues and future research directions, and describe new research visions in the field. The new visions will potentially have great impact for the future society and daily life. 

This journal deals with all the aspects of cloud computing and post-cloud computing. We except original and high quality submissions related (but not limited) to the following topics:

  • Hadoop
  • distributed file systems like HDFS
  • programming environments such as MapReduce
  • big data and clouds
  • public/private/hybrid/community cloud
  • cloud databases
  • cloud infrastructures
  • cloud scenarios
  • cloud applications
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • scalable on-demand services
  • virtualization of resources
  • business models
  • Post-cloud computing (CDEF) New
    • Cloudlet
    • Dew computing
    • Edge computing
    • Fog computing

The charts have been updated on Januar 2, 2021.

Statistics Overview

This radar chart provides an overview of statistics characteristics of all articles of OJCC, including:
  • # Articles: The number of the published articles.
  • # Years of publishing: Indicating how many years OJCC has published. This is calculated by subtracting the year of the first published article from the year of the last published article.
  • Avg. Citations/Article: Average number of citations per article. This is computed by dividing the total number of citations by the total number of articles (excluding editorials).
  • # Citations: The total number of the scientific contributions, which have cited article(s) published of OJCC.
  • Avg. Number of Pages: Indicating the average number of pages per article. This is calculated by dividing the total number of pages by the total number of articles.
  • Avg. Number of Authors/Article: Indicating the average number of authors per article.
  • # Distinct Authors: The number of distinct authors, who have published one or more articles in OJCC.
  • # Downloads: The total number of downloads of all articles.
  • Avg. Number of Downloads: Indicating the average download number per article. This is determined by dividing the total number of downloads by the total number of articles.
Please note that the scale is a logarithmic one. The exact numbers are displayed during hovering the mouse pointer over the corresponding points.

Total Number of Downloads (of articles published in given Year)

The following bar chart presents the total number of downloads of articles in each publishing year. The last column shows the total number of downloads for all publishing years.

Average Downloads per Article (published in given Year)

This bar chart displays the average number of downloads (y-axis) of articles published in a given year (x-axis) or over all articles (last column). These numbers provide hints about how often an article of OJCC is downloaded over the years.

Total Number of Citations (of articles published in given Year)

The following bar chart presents the total number of citations of articles in each publishing year. The last column indicates the total number of citations for all publishing years.

Average Citations per Article (published in given Year)

This bar chart displays the average number of citations (y-axis) of articles in each publishing year (x-axis) or over all articles (last column) excluding editorials. These numbers provide hints about how often an article of OJCC is cited over the years.

Number of Papers cited by k

In this bar chart, the x-axis indicates the number of citations and the y-axis indicates how many articles are cited with the corresponding number of citations.

Number of Citations in relation to Publication and Citation Year

In this bubble chart, the bubbles with different sizes indicate how many citations are received in a certain year (y-axis) by articles (excluding editorials) of OJCC published in the year presented on the x-axis. Note some articles are online available earlier than their publishing year, and therefore it is possible that they are cited eariler than their publishing year.

Transparent Impact Factor

There are numerous criticisms on the use of impact factors and debates about the validity of the impact factor as a measure of journal importance [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9]. Several national-level institutions like the German Research Foundation [4] and Science and the Technology Select Committee [7] of the United Kingdom urge their funding councils to only evaluate the quality of individual articles, not the reputation of the journal in which they are published. Nevertherless, we are sometimes asked about the impact factors of our journals. Therefore, we provide here the impact factors for readers who are still interested in impact factors. Our impact factors are calculated in the same way as the one of Thomson Reuters, but the impact factors for our journals are not computed by the company Thomson Reuters and they are computed by ourselves and can be validated by anyone, because we present all data for computing the impact factor (to anyone asking neither for registration nor for fees). These data are provided here and each reader can re-compute and check the calculation of these impact factors. Therefore, we call our impact factor Transparent Impact Factor.

We compute impact factors for each of our journals (available at the statistics page of each journal) and also for all articles of RonPub (available at the statistics page of RonPub). In order to look at these computations in detail, please click on the corresponding year in the following list:

For the calculation of the Impact Factor of an year Y we need the number A of articles published in the years Y-1 and Y-2 (excluding editorials). Furthemore, we determine the number of citations B in the year Y, which cite articles of OJCC published in the years Y-1 or Y-2. The (2-Years) Transparent Impact Factor is then determined by B/A.

Author Guidelines

Publication Criteria

Publication Criteria provides important information for authors to prepare their manuscripts with a high possibility of being accepted.

Manuscript Preparation

Please prepare your manuscripts using the manuscript template of the journal. It is available for download as word doc docx and latex version zip. The template describes the format and structure of manuscripts and other necessary information for preparing manuscripts. Manuscripts should be written in English. There is no restriction on the length of manuscripts.

Submission

Authors submit their manuscripts following the information on the submit page. Authors first submit their manuscripts in PDF format. Once a manuscript is accepted, the author then submits the revised manuscript as a PDF file and a word file or latex folder (with all the material necessary to generate the PDF file). The work described in the submitted manuscript must be previously unpublished; it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else. 

Authors are welcome to suggest qualified reviewers for their papers, but this is not mandatory. If the author wants to do so, please provide the name, affiliations and e-mail addresses for all suggested reviewers.

Manuscript Status

After submission of manuscripts, authors will receive an email to confirm receipt of manuscripts. Subsequent enquiries concerning paper progress should be sent to the email address of the journal.

Review Procedure

OJCC is committed to enforcing a rigorous peer-review process. All manuscripts submitted for publication in OJCC are strictly and thoroughly peer-reviewed. When a manuscript is submitted, the editor-in-chief assigns it to an appropriate editor who will be in charge of the review process of the manuscript. The editor first suggests potential reviewers and then organizes the peer-reviewing herself/himself or entrusts it to the editor office. For each manuscript, typically three review reports will be collected. The editor and the editor-in-chief evaluate the manuscript itself and the review reports and make an accept/revision/reject decision. Authors will be informed with the decision and reviewing results within 6-8 weeks on average after the manuscript submission. In the case of revision, authors are required to perform an adequate revision to address the concerns from evaluation reports. A second round of peer-review will be performed if necessary.

Accepted manuscripts are published online immediately.

Abstract: The paper considers the conceptual approach for organization of the vertical hierarchical links between the scalable distributed computing paradigms: Cloud Computing, Fog Computing and Dew Computing. In this paper, the Dew Computing is described and recognized as a new structural layer in the existing distributed computing hierarchy. In the existing computing hierarchy, the Dew computing is positioned as the ground level for the Cloud and Fog computing paradigms. Vertical, complementary, hierarchical division from Cloud to Dew Computing satisfies the needs of high- and low-end computing demands in everyday life and work. These new computing paradigms lower the cost and improve the performance, particularly for concepts and applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Everything (IoE). In addition, the Dew computing paradigm will require new programming models that will efficiently reduce the complexity and improve the productivity and usability of scalable distributed computing, following the principles of High-Productivity computing.

In this paper, the Dew Computing is described and recognized as a new structural layer in the existing distributed computing hierarchy. In the existing computing hierarchy, the Dew computing is positioned as the ground level for the Cloud and Fog computing paradigms. Vertical, complementary, hierarchical division from Cloud to Dew Computing satisfies the needs of high- and low-end computing demands in everyday life and work. These new computing paradigms lower the cost and improve the performance, particularly for concepts and applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Everything (IoE). In addition, the Dew computing paradigm will require new programming models that will efficiently reduce the complexity and improve the productivity and usability of scalable distributed computing, following the principles of High-Productivity computing.}

OJCC Publication Fees

All articles published by RonPub are fully open access and online available to readers free of charge. To be able to provide open access journals, RonPub defrays the costs (induced by processing and editing of manuscripts, provision and maintenance of infrastructure, and routine operation and management of journals) by charging an one-time publication fee for each accepted article. In order to ensure that the fee is never a barrier to publication, RonPub offers a fee waiver for authors from low-income countries. Authors who do not have funds to cover publication fees should submit an application during the submission process. Applications of waiver will be examined on a case by case basis. The scientific committee members of RonPub are entitled a partial waiver of the standard publication fees as reward for their work. 

  • Standard publication fee: 338 Euro (excluding tax).
  • Authors from the low-income countries: 71% waiver of the standard publication fee. (Note: The list is subject to change based on the data of the World Bank Group.):
    Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo (Democratic Republic), Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Kiribati, Korea (Democratic People’s Republic), Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao (People’s Democratic Republic), Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Micronesia (Federated States of), Moldova, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Syrian Arab Republic, São Tomé and Principe, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Togo, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, West Bank and Gaza Strip, Yemen (Republic), Zambia, Zimbabwe
  • Scientific committee members: 25% waiver of the standard publication fee.
  • Guest editors and reviewers: 25% waiver of the standard publication fee for one year.

Payments are subject to tax. A German VAT (value-added tax) at 19% will be charged if applicable. US and Canadian customers need to provide their sales tax number and their certificate of incorporation to be exempt from the VAT charge; European Union customers (not German customers) need to provide their VAT to be exempt from the VAT charge. Customers from Germany and other countries will be charged with the VAT charge. Individuals are not eligible for tax exempt status.

Editors and reviewers have no access to payment information. The inability to pay will not influence the decision to publish a paper; decisions to publish are only based on the quality of work and the editorial criteria.

OJCC Indexing

In order for our publications getting widely abstracted, indexed and cited, the following methods are employed:

  • Various meta tags are embedded in each publication webpage, including Google Scholar Tags, Dublic Core, EPrints, BE Press and Prism. This enables crawlers of e.g. Google Scholar to discover and index our publications.
  • Different metadata export formats are provided for each article, including BibTex, XML, RSS and RDF. This makes readers to cite our papers easily.
  • An OAI-PMH interface is implemented, which facilitates our article metadata harvesting by indexing services and databases.

The paper Getting Indexed by Bibliographic Databases in the Area of Computer Science provides a comprehensive survey on indexing formats, techniques and databases. We will also continue our efforts on dissemination and indexing of our publications.

OJCC has been indexed by the following libraries and bibliographic databases:

For Authors

Manuscript Preparation

Authors should first read the author guidelines of the corresponding journal. Manuscripts must be prepared using the manuscript template of the respective journal. It is available as word and latex version for download at the Author Guidelines of the corresponding journal page. The template describes the format and structure of manuscripts and other necessary information for preparing manuscripts. Manuscripts should be written in English. There is no restriction on the length of manuscripts.

Submission

Authors submit their manuscripts via the submit page of the corresponding journal. Authors first submit their manuscripts in PDF format. Once a manuscript is accepted, the author then submits the revised manuscript as PDF file and word file or latex folder (with all the material necessary to generate the PDF file). The work described in the submitted manuscript must be previously unpublished; it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else. 

Authors are welcome to suggest qualified reviewers for their papers, but this is not mandatory. If the author wants to do so, please provide the name, affiliations and e-mail addresses for all suggested reviewers.

Manuscript Status

After submission of manuscripts, authors will receive an email to confirm receipt of manuscripts within a few days. Subsequent enquiries concerning paper progress should be made to the corresponding editorial office (see individual journal webpage for concrete contact information).

Review Procedure

RonPub is committed to enforcing a rigorous peer-review process. All manuscripts submitted for publication in RonPub journals are strictly and thoroughly peer-reviewed. When a manuscript is submitted to a RonPub journal, the editor-in-chief of the journal assigns it to an appropriate editor who will be in charge of the review process of the manuscript. The editor first suggests potential reviewers and then organizes the peer-reviewing herself/himself or entrusts it to the editor office. For each manuscript, typically three review reports will be collected. The editor and the editor-in-chief evaluate the manuscript itself and the review reports and make an accept/revision/reject decision. Authors will be informed with the decision and reviewing results within 6-8 weeks on average after the manuscript submission. In the case of revision, authors are required to perform an adequate revision to address the concerns from evaluation reports. A new round of peer-review will be performed if necessary.

Accepted manuscripts are published online immediately.

Copyrights

Authors publishing with RonPub open journals retain the copyright to their work. 

All articles published by RonPub is fully open access and online available to readers free of charge.  RonPub publishes all open access articles under the Creative Commons Attribution License,  which permits unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction freely, provided that the original work is properly cited.

Digital Archiving Policy

Our publications have been archived and permanently-preserved in the German National Library. The publications, which are archived in the German National Library, are not only long-term preserved but also accessible in the future, because the German National Library ensures that digital data saved in the old formats can be viewed and used on current computer systems in the same way they were on the original systems which are long obsolete. Further measures will be taken if necessary. Furthermore, we also encourage our authors to self-archive their articles published on the website of RonPub.

For Editors

About RonPub

RonPub is academic publisher of online, open access, peer-reviewed journals. All articles published by RonPub is fully open access and online available to readers free of charge.

RonPub is located in Lübeck, Germany. Lübeck is a beautiful harbour city, 60 kilometer away from Hamburg.

Editor-in-Chief Responsibilities

The Editor-in-Chief of each journal is mainly responsible for the scientific quality of the journal and for assisting in the management of the journal. The Editor-in-Chief suggests topics for the journal, invites distinguished scientists to join the editorial board, oversees the editorial process, and makes the final decision whether a paper can be published after peer-review and revisions.

As a reward for the work of a Editor-in-Chief, the Editor-in-Chief will obtain a 25% discount of the standard publication fee for her/his papers (the Editor-in-Chief is one of authors) published in any of RonPub journals.

Editors’ Responsibilities

Editors assist the Editor-in-Chief in the scientific quality and in decision about topics of the journal. Editors are also encouraged to help to promote the journal among their peers and at conferences. An editor invites at least three reviewers to review a manuscript, but may also review him-/herself the manuscript. After carefully evaluating the review reports and the manuscript itself, the editor makes a commendation about the status of the manuscript. The editor's evaluation as well as the review reports are then sent to EiC, who make the final decision whether a paper can be published after peer-review and revisions. 

The communication with Editorial Board members is done primarily by E-mail, and the Editors are expected to respond within a few working days on any question sent by the Editorial Office so that manuscripts can be processed in a timely fashion. If an editor does not respond or cannot process the work in time, and under some special situations, the editorial office may forward the requests to the Publishers or Editor-in-Chief, who will take the decision directly.

As a reward for the work of editors, an editor will obtain a 25% discount of the standard publication fee for her/his papers (the editor is one of authors) published in any of RonPub journals.

Guest Editors’ Responsibilities

Guest Editors are responsible of the scientific quality of their special issues. Guest Editors will be in charge of inviting papers, of supervising the refereeing process (each paper should be reviewed at least by three reviewers), and of making decisions on the acceptance of manuscripts submitted to their special issue. As regular issues, all accepted papers by (guest) editors will be sent to the EiC of the journal, who will check the quality of the papers, and make the final decsion whether a paper can be published.

Our editorial office will have the right directly asking authors to revise their paper if there are quality issues, e.g. weak quality of writing, and missing information. Authors are required to revise their paper several times if necessary. A paper accepted by it's quest editor may be rejected by the EiC of the journal due to a low quality. However, this occurs only when authors do not really take efforts to revise their paper. A high-quality publication needs the common efforts from the journal, reviewers, editors, editor-in-chief and authors.

The Guest Editors are also expected to write an editorial paper for the special issue. As a reward for work, all guest editors and reviewers working on a special issue will obtain a 25% discount of the standard publication fee for any of their papers published in any of RonPub journals for one year.

Reviewers’ Responsiblity

A reviewer is mainly responsible for reviewing of manuscripts, writing reviewing report and suggesting acception or deny of manuscripts. Reviews are encouraged to provide input about the quality and management of the journal, and help promote the journal among their peers and at conferences.  

Upon the quality of reviewing work, a reviewer will have the potential to be promoted to a full editorial board member. 

As a reward for the reviewing work, a reviewer will obtain a 25% discount of the standard publication fee for her/his papers (the review is one of authors) published in any of RonPub journals.

Publication Criteria

This part provides important information for both the scientific committees and authors.

Ethic Requirement:

For scientific committees: Each editor and reviewer should conduct the evaluation of manuscripts objectively and fairly.
For authors: Authors should present their work honestly without fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or inappropriate data manipulation.

Pre-Check:

In order to filter fabricated submissions, the editorial office will check the authenticity of the authors and their affiliations before a peer-review begins. It is important that the authors communicate with us using the email addresses of their affiliations and provide us the URL addresses of their affiliations. To verify the originality of submissions, we use various plagiarism detection tools to check the content of manuscripts submitted to our journal against existing publications. The overall quality of paper will be also checked including format, figures, tables, integrity and adequacy. Authors may be required to improve the quality of their paper before sending it out for review. If a paper is obviously of low quality, the paper will be directly rejected.

Acceptance Criteria:

The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts are the quality of work. This will concretely be reflected in the following aspects:

  • Novelty and Practical Impact
  • Technical Soundness
  • Appropriateness and Adequacy of 
    • Literature Review
    • Background Discussion
    • Analysis of Issues
  • Presentation, including 
    • Overall Organization 
    • English 
    • Readability

For a contribution to be acceptable for publication, these points should be at least in middle level.

Guidelines for Rejection:

  • If the work described in the manuscript has been published, or is under consideration for publication anywhere else, it will not be evaluated.
  • If the work is a plagiarism, or contains data falsification or fabrication, it will be rejected.
  • Manuscripts, which have seriously technical flaws, will not be accepted.
