Dear Colleagues,

As most new database deployments will be on the cloud, and many traditional on-premises databases are being migrated to the cloud, the development of data systems has shifted to cloud-native databases and the best practices to address operational and integration challenges surrounding vendors’ and providers’ hosting landscapes. This trend is producing a new breed of research topics in architectural designs, development and operational intelligence, and requires compliance with global data privacy and protection standards. Cloud preferences for data management will eventually reduce the landscape’s complexity and cost of ownership/operations for cloud database users. During the transition period, the vendors and the service providers need to deal with issues in multi-cloud, multi-data models, multi-tenant environments that demand new scheme for data process, governance, and integration while maintaining low cost and economics of scale.

This Special Issue on cloud data systems invites novel research articles covering, but not limited to, technical advances in data management on the clouds, solutions to issues related to operational intelligence, application development practices, cost management, and data governance regulations.
