Towards a Cloud Computing Research Agenda
📜 Abstract
Cloud Computing has been a hot topic in the information technology industry for some time. The aim of this paper is to explore challenging research issues related to the adoption of Cloud Computing technology and to propose a research agenda to address these issues. Specifically, we discuss data confidentiality and auditability, the relationship between speed and reliability of implementation on the one hand and richness of the functionality plus performance on the other hand, and resource management issues that arise from the possibility of combining different service types in a hybrid deployment model. As a result of our analysis, we propose a research agenda consisting of a set of concrete actions to address the outlined issues and thus accelerate the adoption of Cloud Computing technology.
✨ Summary
The paper titled “Towards a Cloud Computing Research Agenda” provides an overview of key challenges and proposes a research agenda to advance the adoption of cloud computing technologies. Key issues discussed include data confidentiality, auditability, and resource management, especially when integrating various service types in hybrid deployment models.
