Objective of the Workshop:

Making the participants aware of Cloud Computing frameworks and guide them to program Applications on Cloud framework. By taking one example cloud framework, a live demo for developing the cloud applications will also be presented.

Brief Technical Description of the Workshop:

Cloud Computing is an emerging computing paradigm envisioned to change all IT landscape facets including technology, business, services and human resources. It is a consumer/delivery model that offers IT capabilities as services, billed based on usage. In Cloud Workshop, we are going to make the audience aware about cloud computing. In this, the early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies will exchange ideas. The workshop will help the participants to answer following questions:

• What are the economic benefits (e.g., for both providers and users) of cloud computing (e.g., for commercial clouds, government clouds)?
• Which are the business models for cloud computing? (PaaS, SaaS, IaaS)
• How performance can be predicted for clouds? (Load balancing, Automated testing, Version control, Scalability)
• Which are the main decision criteria for service selection in clouds environments?
• How to program applications on cloud frameworks? (A Live demo of programming cloud application on Google App Engine and hands on with other frameworks like MS Azure, SalesForce, Amazon EC2)
