Special Issue on Emotions in Games
Computer games research has recently experienced the adoption of its own technological advancements (rich interactivity, 3D graphical visualization and role playing game-style incentive structures) by an increasing number of domains (e-commerce, news reading, web 2.0 services, and human-computer interfaces). The capability of games delivering enhanced user immersion and engagement defines the driving force behind this adoption. Inevitably, games are unique elicitors of emotion and the study of user experience in those environments is of paramount importance for the understanding of gameplay internal mechanics. Analysing, capturing and synthesizing player experience has been a challenging area within the crossroads of cognitive science, psychology, artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. Additional gameplay input modalities such as 3D acceleration (e.g. Wii), image and speech (e.g. Kinect) enhance the importance of the study and the complexity of player experience. Sophisticated techniques from artificial and computational intelligence can be used to synthesize the affective state of player (and non-player) characters, based on multiple modalities of player-game interaction. Multiple modalities of input can also provide a novel means for game platforms to measure player satisfaction and engagement when playing, without necessarily having to resort to postplay and off-line questionnaires. Adaptation techniques such as complex (emotional and social) agent behaviours can also be used to maximize player's experience, thereby, closing the affective game loop. In addition to this, procedural content generation techniques may be employed, based on the level of user engagement and interest, to dynamically produce new, adaptable and personalized content.

The IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing (TAC), a new bi-annual online-only publication, is seeking submissions of original research on the principles and theories explaining why and how affective factors condition interaction between humans and technology, on how affective sensing and simulation techniques can inform our understanding of human affective processes, and on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems that carefully consider affect among the factors that influence their usability. Surveys of existing work will be considered for publication when they propose a new viewpoint on the history and the perspective on this domain.

Special Issue on Cloud of Clouds
A Cloud of Clouds is viewed as the next revolution in the Cloud Computing paradigm wherein the computational and data infrastructure for handling scientific, business and enterprise applications spans across multiple clouds and data-centres. The first wave of Cloud Computing has addressed several issues ranging from actual physical infrastructure realization to providing a variety of services (PaaS, SaaS, IaaS) to the Cloud users. However, as the complexity, heterogeneity and scale of applications grows, it will be increasingly important to be able to compose federated "Cloud of Clouds" that can address requirements for heterogeneous capabilities and large scales. For example, with an anticipated growth of mobile users of Cloud services in the near future, issues related to the interoperability between Cloud service providers, Cloud technologies and users become challenging. Business ventures operating across multiple Clouds may need to set and oblige policy driven schemes, which may become prohibitively expensive for ordinary users. In addition, pricing models, trust and security based research are added issues to be addressed. Thus, with a clear compelling motivation to fundamentally address all the above-mentioned issues, IEEE Transaction on Computers seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on the theme "Cloud of Clouds" scheduled to appear in the June issue of 2013.

Special Section on Adaptive Hardware and Systems
Modern computer systems face increasing demands for high performance, programmability and low power, under tight time to deployment and market constraints, often under stringent budget constraints. Because of the conflicting nature of many of these requirements, adaptive systems are being put forward as efficacious and efficient solutions for many applications whereby the same system can be harnessed to meet time-varying requirements and constraints including speed performance, power, and quality of service. In general, adaptiveness is defined as a system's ability to manage its resources effectively and efficiently in order to meet time varying internal or external demands, hence providing flexibility at a relatively lower cost. While it has traditionally been a central demand for applications such as space missions and robotics, it is now a growing demand for many a more mainstream applications such as multi-core processing, mobile communications and mobile computing.

Special Issue on Trust, Security and Privacy in Parallel and Distributed Systems
In modern computing paradigms, most computing systems, e.g. cluster computing, grid computing, cloud computing, the Internet, telecommunication networks, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Machine-to-Machine communication networks (M2M), are parallel and distributed systems. While providing improved expandability, manageability, efficiency and reliability, parallel and distributed systems increase their security weaknesses to an unprecedented scale. As the system devices are widely connected, their vulnerabilities are shared by the entire system. Because tasks are allocated to, and information is exchanged among the system devices that may belong to different users, trust, security and privacy issues have yet to be resolved.

Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world.
