Preface
The need for a book focusing on the challenges associated with the design, deployment, and management of information and software as services materialized in our minds after the success of the two consecutive workshops (WISS 2009 and WISS 2010) we organized on this topic in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE). Over the recent years, the increasing costs of creating and maintaining infrastructures for delivering services to consumers have led to the emergence of cloud-based third-party service providers that rent out network presence, computation power, storage, as well as entire software suites, including database and application server capabilities. These service providers reduce the overall infrastructure burden of small and medium (and increasingly even large) businesses by enabling rapid Web-native deployment, lower hardware/software management costs, virtualization and automation, and instant scalability. The emergence in the last decade of various enabling technologies, such as J2EE, .Net, XML, virtual machines, Web services, new data management techniques
