Cloud Computing For Engineering Applications

by Giulio D'Agostino (Author)
This book covers not only information protection in cloud computing, architecture and fundamentals, but also the plan design and in-depth implementation details needed to migrate existing applications to the cloud

This book reviews the challenging issues that present barriers to greater implementation of the cloud computing paradigm, together with the latest research into developing potential solutions.

Cloud computing is a buzz-word in today’s information technology (IT) that nobody can escape. But what is really behind it? There are many interpretations of this term, but no standardized or even uniform definition.
Instead, as a result of the multi-faceted viewpoints and the diverse interests expressed by the various stakeholders, cloud computing is perceived as a rather fuzzy concept.

This volume contains the technical papers presented in the workshops associated with the European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, ESOCC 2016, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2016: 4th International Workshop on Cloud for IoT, CLloT 2016, Second International Workshop on Cloud Adoption and Migration, CloudWays 2016, First International Workshop on Patterns and Pattern Languages for SOCC: Use and Discovery, PATTWORLD 2016, combined with the First International Workshop on Performance and Conformance of Workflow Engines, PEaCE 2016, IFIP WG SOS Workshop 2016 Rethinking Services ResearCH, ReSeRCH 2016. Furthermore, there is a topical section presenting the results of the PhD Symposium. The abstracts of the presentations held at the European Projects Forum, EU Projects 2016, are included in the back-matter of the volume.

This book focuses on soft computing and how it can be applied to solve real-world problems arising in various domains, ranging from medicine and healthcare, to supply chain management, image processing and cryptanalysis. It gathers high-quality papers presented at the International Conference on Soft Computing: Theories and Applications (SoCTA 2019), organized by the National Institute of Technology Patna, India. Offering valuable insights into soft computing for teachers and researchers alike, the book will inspire further research in this dynamic field.
