<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif">The 2nd
Workshop on the Emerging Trends and Applications of Cloud Computing
(ETACC) is
being planned as a value-addition to the 3rd International Conference on
Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies will be held in Niagara

<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif">A Brief
about the Cloud Idea</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif">The
much-hoped cloud paradigm is seeing an unprecedented adoption and
adaption
across the globe. The breakthrough cloud idea is actually a smart and
sensible
combination of several proven and promising technologies such as
consolidation,
virtualization, optimization, service orientation (SO), and an array of
computing paradigms such as cluster, grid, on-demand, and utility
computing.
The complete and compact automation of several complicated IT
infrastructure
management and maintenance tasks such as job scheduling, resource
provisioning,
workload management, asset management, capacity planning, configuration
management, virtual machine creation and control, self-servicing, etc.
remains
the key aspects for the upswing of the pioneering cloud technology.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif"><br>
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif">The noteworthy
aspect is that cloud infrastructures fulfil myriad quality attributes
(Non-functional requirements such as scalability / elasticity,
availability,
adaptability, alacrity, high performance, etc.). The cloud paradigm has
come as
a boon and blessing for enterprise IT as it could introduce and
incorporate a
series of innovations and improvisations there in order to realize the
long-pending target of business-IT alignment. Cloud is undoubtedly the
transformative and disruptive technology that has the wherewithal to
effectively accomplish the long-standing needs such as IT agility,
autonomy and
affordability. Due to the inherent harmonization with service oriented
architecture (SOA), an offshoot of the popular and pervasive service
orientation (SO), the goal of establishing adaptive, lean, green,
instant-on
and smart enterprises is to see the reality soon. Several IT concerns,
constraints and challenges are being easily tackled by the cloud
paradigm in
sync up with other enterprise-scale technologies. Enhanced IT
utilization is to
see the light through the consolidated, virtualized, automated and
shared IT
infrastructures.</span></div>

Cloud Computing - </span></b><span><span style="font-family:Candara,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Any
promising technology or paradigm has to evolve continuously. Issues and
limitations are being identified, potential solutions are being
conceived and
constructed, and newer techniques are being explored, experimented and
expounded. There are different directions and dimensions in the holistic
journey of cloud. The extraordinary successes of cloud computing in the
enterprise space is being spectacularly leveraged and replicated in the
vast
and varied embedded space. All kinds of physical and embedded devices
are being
connected and linked up with clouds inducing a kind of deeper and deft
connectivity among disparate, distributed, and decentralized devices.
This
cloud-centric connectivity has the potential for enabling elegant and
exotic
applications. Newer cloud types, models, applications and services are
being
formulated to keep up the cloud momentum. Sensor, device, knowledge,
science,
service clouds etc are being given newer thrusts these days. Cloud
brokerage
services comprising cloud integration, composition and </span><span style="font-family:Candara,sans-serif;font-size:13px">inter-mediation</span><span style="font-family:Candara,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"> aspects
are fast- emerging with a series of collaborative initiatives among
cloud
service providers, academic researchers, and service organizations,
consortiums
for standards, government institutions and IT professionals.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Candara,sans-serif">Cloud,
being
a generic technology, is bound to raise a storm of advancements and
accomplishments across a variety of domains in the days to unfold. In
other
words, the cloud space is all set to join as the third major force along
with
the enterprise and embedded spaces in accurately understanding peoples'
needs,
conceiving, conceptualizing and concretizing the identified requirements
in the
form of people-centric services and applications that can be delivered
unobtrusively to the right people at the right time at the right place.
Thus
there is a close linkup between cloud and people IT. Cloud is bringing
the much-needed
transition from the expensive IT to elastic, elegant and finally exotic
IT. The
cloud space is seeing much more value and verve as entrepreneurs,
employees and
executives are on the knowhow of the path-breaking nature of cloud
technology.</span></div>
