Technology trends may come and go, but cloud computing technologies have been gaining consideration in the commercial world due to its ability to provide on-demand access to resources, control the software environment, and supplement existing systems. Pervasive Cloud Computing Technologies: Future Outlooks and Interdisciplinary Perspectives explores the latest innovations with cloud computing and the impact of these new models and technologies. This book will present case studies and research on the future of cloud computing technologies and its ability to increase connectivity of various entities of the world. It is an essential resource for technology practitioners, engineers, managers, and academics aiming to gain the knowledge of these novel and pervasive technologies.

The foundation of this book is on green computing and its goals are manifold. This book uncovers the flux of technologies and its impact on green landscape. More specifically, it envisions the duality of green computing with technological trends in other fields of computing such as high performance computing (HPC) and cloud computing from one hand; and economy, and business, on the other hand. In green world, research on minimizing energy and resource consumption through algorithmic and software techniques such as monitoring, power-aware consolidation, scheduling as well as user/application profiling and debugging are other aspects of addressing energy efficiency. These solutions are the facets of intelligent computation. These facets of intelligent computation constitute the main parts of resource management. In this book, we address some aspects of intelligent computation as part of resource management and scheduling. This book is addressed at a rather broad audience, but in a nutshell to anyone who is looking at green computing to use it, to learn more about it, or to apply it to her needs.
