Cloud computing Focus is on “virtualizing” resources Great progress in dynamic provisioning at hardware resource level Software/Service is still relatively statically provisioned Current cloud research focused on Improving cloud infrastructure – Virtual machines, Cloud OS etc. Semantic description of services, and even some composition work Limited research on how to use the cloud services efficiently Most steps in service negotiation, acquisition, and consumption/monitoring still require significant human intervention Difficult to manage service quality especially of composed services created by different providers
