I am trying to write a thesis on cloud computing. I read a lot about it but I do not know on which area to focus. However I have experience mainly in database, system analysis and mobile programming, mainly iphone.
Can you kindly suggest me specific area in cloud computing so that I can focus on.
Can u kindly help me?
Many thanks and best regards.
Maybe look at possible ways to make cloud computing vendor independent. Right now, whilst there appears to be some good stuff going on in cloud computing, the solutions are similar to deciding whether to develop for MAC or PC or IPhone vs Android. The concepts may be the same but there is huge vendor lock in (I can see why that is in their benefit). But should it be this way, should there be a way to be able to move from Vendor X to Vendor Y as easily as the vendors tell you applications can be hosted / scale in their own environments.
Many thanks for the sugestion
if i understand correctly (if we take the database as a part) do u mean that to find a way that for example the database format in cloud computing if for example salesforce or amazon cloud or ...
has to be converted in one format so that it can be built for all clouds once
thanks again
hello peSHIr, so if your area of expertise is in development more than working with servers. What you should look into is a thing called Software as a Service(SaaS) or another a bit more complicated called Platform as a Service(PaaS). Basically SaaS is a way to deploy your application in a cloud based infraestructure so what you do is to offer your software to anyone in the world, but lets face it this can be done with any hosting service. The cool thing about SaaS is that there are vendors that provide their own development environment so you dont have to worry about setting up together php, mysql and apache, you dont know even in what platform your application is running you just use the vendors environment and deploy with it your application to the world. Look for SaaS on google and you will have a big list of vendors.
PaaS is somehow like hosting. Where you have servers with JVM or PHP running and you can use them to deploy your home/office made application. If you are working on a thesis you should setup a state of art that basically is to describe what is cloud computing these days.
Hope this will help you. Regards.
