Preface

Cloud computing has become a great solution for providing a flexible, on-demand, and dynamically scalable computing infrastructure for many applications. Cloud computing also presents a significant technology trends, and it is already obvious that it is reshaping information technology processes and the IT marketplace. This Handbook is a carefully edited book – contributors are 65 worldwide experts in the field of cloud computing and their applications. The Handbook Advisory Board, comprised of nine researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, helped in reshaping the Handbook and selecting the right topics and creative and knowledgeable contributors. The scope of the book includes leading-edge cloud computing technologies, systems, and architectures; cloud computing services; and a variety of cloud computing applications. The Handbook comprises four parts, which consist of 26 chapters. The first part on Technologies and Systems includes articles dealing with cloud computing technologies, storage and fault tolerant strategies in cloud computing, workflows, grid computing technologies, and the role of networks in cloud computing. The second part on Architectures focuses on articles on several specific architectural concepts applied in cloud computing, including enterprise knowledge clouds, high-performance computing clouds, clouds with vertical load distribution, and peer-to-peer based clouds. The third part on Services consists of articles on various issues relating to cloud services, including types of services, service scalability, scientific services, and dynamic collaborative services.
