The amount of data in everyday life has been exploding. This data increase has been especially significant in scientific fields, where substantial amounts of data must be captured, communicated, aggregated, stored, and analyzed. This book describes how cloud computing can significantly improve data management in different scientific fields, such as bioinformatics, earth science, and computer science. This book focuses on how cloud computing helps in the areas of resource control, vertical and horizontal scalability, and adaptive scheduling.

This book gathers the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS-2017), held on June 28-June 30, 2017 in Torino, Italy.Software Intensive Systems are characterized by their intensive interaction with other systems, sensors, actuators, devices, and users.
