Cloud service benchmarking can provide important, sometimes
surprising insights into the quality of services and leads to a
more quality-driven design and engineering of complex software
architectures that use such services. Starting with a broad
introduction to the field, this book guides readers step-by-step
through the process of designing, implementing and executing a
cloud service benchmark, as well as understanding and dealing with
its results. It covers all aspects of cloud service benchmarking,
i.e., both benchmarking the cloud and benchmarking in the cloud, at
a basic level. The book is divided into five parts: Part I
discusses what cloud benchmarking is, provides an overview of cloud
services and their key properties, and describes the notion of a
cloud system and cloud-service quality. It also addresses the
benchmarking lifecycle and the motivations behind running
benchmarks in particular phases of an application lifecycle. Part
II then focuses on benchmark design by discussing key objectives
(e.g., repeatability, fairness, or understandability) and defining
metrics and measurement methods, and by giving advice on developing
own measurement methods and metrics. Next, Part III explores
benchmark execution and implementation challenges and objectives as
well as aspects like runtime monitoring and result collection.
Subsequently, Part IV addresses benchmark results, covering topics
such as an abstract process for turning data into insights, data
preprocessing, and basic data analysis methods. Lastly, Part V
concludes the book with a summary, suggestions for further reading
and pointers to benchmarking tools available on the Web. The book
is intended for researchers and graduate students of computer
science and related subjects looking for an introduction to
benchmarking cloud services, but also for industry practitioners
who are interested in evaluating the quality of cloud services or
who want to assess key qualities of their own implementations
through cloud-based experiments.

Cloud computing is a buzz-word in today's information technology
(IT) that nobody can escape. But what is really behind it? There
are many interpretations of this term, but no standardized or even
uniform definition. Instead, as a result of the multi-faceted
viewpoints and the diverse interests expressed by the various
stakeholders, cloud computing is perceived as a rather fuzzy
concept. With this book, the authors deliver an overview of cloud
computing architecture, services, and applications. Their aim is to
bring readers up to date on this technology and thus to provide a
common basis for discussion, new research, and novel application
scenarios. They first introduce the foundation of cloud computing
with its basic technologies, such as virtualization and Web
services. After that they discuss the cloud architecture and its
service modules. The following chapters then cover selected
commercial cloud offerings (including Amazon Web Services and
Google App Engine) and management tools, and present current
related open-source developments (including Hadoop, Eucalyptus, and
Open CirrusTM). Next, economic considerations (cost and business
models) are discussed, and an evaluation of the cloud market
situation is given. Finally, the appendix contains some practical
examples of how to use cloud resources or cloud applications, and a
glossary provides concise definitions of key terms. The authors'
presentation does not require in-depth technical knowledge. It is
equally intended as an introduction for students in software
engineering, web technologies, or business development, for
professional software developers or system architects, and for
future-oriented decision-makers like top executives and managers.

The BPM Conference series has established itself as the premier
forum for -
searchersintheareaofbusinessprocessmanagementandprocess-awareinfor-
tion systems. It has a record of attracting contributions of
innovative research of the highest quality related to all aspects
of business process management, including theory, frameworks,
methods, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical ?ndings.
BPM 2010 was the 8th conference of the series. It took place
September 14- 16, 2010 on the campus of Stevens Institute of
Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA-with a great view of
Manhattan, New York. This volume c- tains 21 contributed research
papers that were selected from 151 submissions. The thorough
reviewing process (each paper was reviewed by three to ?ve P- gram
Committee members followed in most cases by in-depth discussions)
was extremely competitive with an acceptance rate of 14%. In
addition to the c- tributed papers, these proceedings contain three
short papers about the invited keynote talks. In conjunction with
the main conference, nine international workshops took place the
day before the conference. These workshops fostered the exchange of
fresh ideas and experiences between active BPM researchers, and
stimulated discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the
conference topics. The proceedings with the papers of all workshops
will be published in a separate volume of Springer's Lecture Notes
in Business Information Processing series. Beyond that, the
conference also included a doctoral consortium, an industry
program, ?reside chats, tutorials, panels, and demonstrations.
