Although the meaning and scope of \"cloud computing\" continues to be debated, the current notion of clouds blurs the distinctions between grid services, web services, and data centers, among other areas. Clouds also bring considerations of lowering the cost for relatively bursty applications to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCloud Computing: Principles, Systems and Applications \u003c\/em\u003eis an essential reference\/guide that provides thorough and timely examination of the services, interfaces and types of applications that can be executed on cloud-based systems. The book identifies and highlights state-of-the-art techniques and methods for designing cloud systems, offers balanced coverage of related technologies that collectively contribute towards the realization of cloud computing, and presents mechanisms and schemes for linking clouds to economic activities. With an emphasis on the conceptual and systemic links between cloud computing and other distributed computing approaches, this text also addresses the practical importance of efficiency, scalability, robustness and security as the four cornerstones of quality of service.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopics and features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the relationship of cloud computing to other distributed computing paradigms, namely peer-to-peer, grids, high performance computing and web services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the principles, techniques, protocols and algorithms that can be adapted from other distributed computing paradigms to the development of successful clouds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a Foreword by Professor Mark Baker of the University of Reading, UK\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines cloud-practices and applications, and highlights early deployment experiences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElaborates the economic schemes needed for clouds to become viable business models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers and students engaged in cloud computing.
