Developing Cloud Software: Algorithms, Applications, and Tools

Ivan Porres, Tommi Mikkonen, Adnan Ashraf (Eds.), Developing Cloud Software: Algorithms, Applications, and Tools, TUCS General Publication, TUCS, 2013.

Abstract:

Executed during years 2010-2013, Cloud Software is a Finnish research program, whose goal has been to significantly improve the competitive position of Finnish software intensive industry in global markets in the field of cloud computing. More than 30 Finnish IT companies and research organizations have participated in the program, and the output of the program has been considerable both in terms of scientific publications as well as industry transformation towards using cloud computing techniques.

This book contains selected contributions by the Cloud Software Program partners focusing on innovative algorithms, applications, and tools to develop new services and applications to be deployed in public and private cloud infrastructures. These are needed to fully utilize the concept computing as a utility as promised by cloud computing. In addition to the actual contributions, the first chapter of the book contains an introduction to cloud computing from the point of view of software development. For the rest of the book, each chapter tackles a concrete problem relevant to software development for cloud infrastructures that originated in the program company partners.

We want to thank all the participants in the Cloud Software program for their efforts, shared experiences, and insights during these four years that have been materialized in the contents of the book. Specially, we want to thank Dr. Janne Järvinen, focus area director, Professor Veikko Seppänen, academic coordinator, Dr. Tua Huomo, program coordinator, and Dr. Pauli Kuosmanen, Digile CTO, for leading the program. In addition, we wish to thank Hans Ahnlund and Mika Laurila (ECE Ltd.), Marc Englund (Vaadin Ltd.), Sami Helin (Steeri Oy), Jarno Kallio (Packet Video Finland), Risto Laurikainen (CSC), and Heikki Nousiainen (F-Secure) for performing reviews for the different chapters that constitute the book. Finally, we also wish to thank all the contributors of this book for their dedicated efforts both in the program itself as well as in reporting the results.
