The purpose of this special issue is to collate a selection of representative research articles that were primarily presented at the Ninth ‘‘Green Cloud Computing: Methodology and Practice,’’ held in conjunction with SC'14. This annual conference brings together practitioners, researchers, students, and scholars interested in updating their knowledge about or active in green cloud computing, in order to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of green cloud computing including the topics of modeling, algorithm development, implementation, and execution. Although cloud computing has been widely adopted by the industry, it still suffers from different challenging issues, one of which is efficient energy management. The cloud may comprise thousands of servers, network devices, and disks and typically serve millions of users globally. Such a large-scale data center will consume considerable amount of energy. Therefore, optimizing the efficiency of the application's use of cloud resources and improving the energy efficiency in cloud, without sacrificing Service Level Agreements (SLA), cannot only save significant budget for cloud users and owners but also make a significant contribution to greater environmental sustainability. This special issue will serve as a landmark source for education, information, and reference to practitioners, researchers, students, and scholars. The scope of this special issue is broad. In addition to submissions that describe original research on advancement of concepts, theory, technologies, and applications of information processing for/in cloud computing, include, but not limit to
