Cloud Computing and Its Security in Higher Education | 2009-11-03 | Eastern Michigan University |
| Interest in cloud computing has witnessed a significant surge in the past few years. The basic tenet of this concept entails the reduction of in-house data centers and the delegation of a portion or all of the Information Technology infrastructure capability to a third party. This holds the promise of driving down cost while fostering innovation and promoting agility. Three typical kinds of cloud services are: Processing Clouds that provide scalable and mostly affordable computing resources that run enterprise programs, Storage Clouds that offer an alternative to local file systems, and Application Clouds that allow a thin client to interact with services that are completely hosted on an external infrastructure.

Economic Aspects of Cloud Computing | 2009-10-27 | Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne |
| The new paradigm of cloud computing is taking over individual and business computation tasks. The cloud is dissociated from super-computers offering computational services in the early information age by the following. Cloud computing provides a solid framework for resource planning, the most crucial problem of the IT industry, as well as for cheap administration of thousands of computers. Moreover, cloud computing employs the recent advancement in multiprocessor technology and the current spread of high-speed Internet technology and offers efficient computation services to millions of users. In DIAS, one envisions a cloud-based database service that enables data providers and consumers to meet in a transparent way. | |||

Vulnerability Seen in Amazon's Cloud-Computing | 2009-10-24 | State University of New York, Stony Brook |
| Leading cloud-computing services may be vulnerable to eavesdropping and malicious attacks, according to research that shows it is possible for attackers to precisely map where a target's data is physically within the "Cloud" and then use various tricks to gather intelligence. The study probed Amazon's industry-leading Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) service, but "One firmly believes these vulnerabilities are generic to current virtualization technology and will affect other providers as well.
