Computing. He has authored over 650 publications and seven textbooks including Mastering Cloud Computing
from McGraw Hill, China Machine Press, and Morgan Kaufmann for Indian, Chinese and international markets
respectively. Dr. Buyya is one of the most highly-cited authors in Computer Sience and Software Engineering
worldwide. “A Scientometric Analysis of Cloud Computing Literature” by German scientists ranked Dr. Buyya
as the World's Top-Cited Author and the World's Most-Productive Author in Cloud Computing. He has been
recognized as a Web of Science “Highly Cited Researcher” for four consecutive years since 2016. Dr. Buyya
was recognized as Scopus Researcher of the Year 2017 with Excellence in Innovative Research Award from
Elsevier; "Lifetime Achievement Awards" from two Indian universities, and the “Best of the World,” in the
Computing Systems field, by The Australian 2019 Research Review. Software technologies for Grid, Cloud, and
Fog computing developed under Dr. Buyya's leadership have gained rapid acceptance and are in use at several
academic institutions and commercial enterprises in 40 countries around the world. Dr. Buyya has led the
establishment and development of key community activities, including serving as foundation Chair of the IEEE
Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and five IEEE/ACM conferences. These contributions and the
international research leadership of Dr. Buyya are recognized through the award of the “2009 IEEE Medal for
Excellence in Scalable Computing” from the IEEE Computer Society TCSC. Manjrasoft's Aneka Cloud
technology developed under his leadership has received the "Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award."
Dr. Buyya served as founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. He is currently
serving as Editor-in-Chief of Software: Practice and Experience, a long-standing journal in the field, established
more than 50 years ago.
