*Introduction*

A computing Cloud is a set of network enabled services, providing scalable,
QoS guaranteed, normally personalized, inexpensive computing infrastructures
on demand, which could be accessed in a simple and pervasive
way. Conceptually, users acquire computing platforms or IT infrastructures
from computing Clouds and then run their applications inside. Therefore,
computing Clouds render users with services to access hardware, software and
data resources, thereafter an integrated computing platform as a service, in
a transparent way. Users thus can on-demand subscribe to their favorite
computing infrastructures with requirements of hardware configuration,
software installation and data access demands. The Cloud computing
distinguishes itself from other computing paradigms, like Grid computing,
Global computing, Internet Computing in the following aspects: user-centric
interfaces, on-demand service, QoS guaranteed offer, autonomous system
organization, scalability and flexible services.



This book is expected to serve as an important reference and a milestone for
research on Cloud computing since 2007, when the term of “Cloud computing”
was coined. We solicit survey & review papers, original research, technical
implementation, and case studies in various fileds of Cloud computing.



*About CRC*

The history of the CRC, Taylor & Francis group <http://www.crcpress.com/> has
paralleled the history of science. For 95 years the CRC publisher has
recorded the accomplishments of pioneering thinkers and researchers across
all of science and technology, while also providing the resources and tools
needed by those seeking to continue that progress. Recognized as a pioneer
in the scientific publishing industry, CRC Press maintains a reputation that
is as extraordinary in its depth as it is global in its depth. The CRC Press
reaches around the globe with authoritative coverage of traditional and
emerging fields, publishing the pioneering achievements of science and
technology to provide professionals and students with the resources they
need to make further advances.
