Cloud computing continues to emerge as a subject of substantial
industrial and academic interest. Although the meaning and scope of
"cloud computing" continues to be debated, the current notion of
clouds blurs the distinctions between grid services, web services,
and data centers, among other areas. Clouds also bring
considerations of lowering the cost for relatively bursty
applications to the fore. Cloud Computing: Principles, Systems and
Applications is an essential reference/guide that provides thorough
and timely examination of the services, interfaces and types of
applications that can be executed on cloud-based systems. The book
identifies and highlights state-of-the-art techniques and methods
for designing cloud systems, presents mechanisms and schemes for
linking clouds to economic activities, and offers balanced coverage
of all related technologies that collectively contribute towards
the realization of cloud computing. With an emphasis on the
conceptual and systemic links between cloud computing and other
distributed computing approaches, this text also addresses the
practical importance of efficiency, scalability, robustness and
security as the four cornerstones of quality of service. Topics and
features: explores the relationship of cloud computing to other
distributed computing paradigms, namely peer-to-peer, grids, high
performance computing and web services; presents the principles,
techniques, protocols and algorithms that can be adapted from other
distributed computing paradigms to the development of successful
clouds; includes a Foreword by Professor Mark Baker of the
University of Reading, UK; examines current cloud-practical
applications and highlights early deployment experiences;
elaborates the economic schemes needed for clouds to become viable
business models. This book will serve as a comprehensive reference
for researchers and students engaged in cloud computing.
Professional system architects, technical managers, and IT
consultants will also find this unique text a practical guide to
the application and delivery of commercial cloud services. Prof.
Nick Antonopoulos is Head of the School of Computing, University of
Derby, UK. Dr. Lee Gillam is a Lecturer in the Department of
Computing at the University of Surrey, UK.
