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. </span></p>
