Today it is almost impossible to remember what life was like with
no computer, no mobile phone, and no Internet for accessing
information, performing tra- actions or exchanging emails and data.
New technology is bringing wave after wave of new bene?ts to daily
life: organisations are doing business with each other via the
Internet; people are ?lling in tax declarations online and booking
their next vacation through the Internet. In general we are all
progressively - ing (and dependent on) software and services
running on computers, connecting mobile phones and other devices,
and exchanging information on the Internet. People like to shop
around and exercise choice. So do businesses and public
administrations. Today they can buy a complete software package
that best suits their needs, even though they may never use some of
the tools it o?ers, or other desirable tools are not available. In
the future they may no longer have to compromise on choice.
Alternative approaches like "Software as a Service" and "Computing
Resources as a Service" are emerging. Software is provided on-line
as a service when and where it is needed, and the same for
computing resources needed to run software. Such an approach allows
individuals and organisations
