Cloud Computing Web-Based Dynamic IT Services

From the reviews:

“The book provides a well-written, surprisingly comprehensive introduction to the topic of service-oriented architecture, which is a core concept underlying various ‘as a service’ possibilities … that together are commonly called cloud computing. … Both the glossary and bibliography are valuable resources--the former for those becoming familiar with the field, and the latter for those wishing to delve deeper. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; two-year technical program students.” (C. Vickery, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January, 2012)

“The authors are presenting a well prepared introduction to cloud computing. … The book provides clear and sufficient material for an introductory lecture for students in computer science, engineering or business, as well as for decision makers.” (Dana Petcu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1223, 2011)

“Present a very approachable 10,000-foot overview, summarizing allaspects of cloud computing circa early 2011. The main subject headings are ‘Cloud Basics,’ ‘Cloud Architecture,’ ‘Selected Cloud Offerings,’ ‘Cloud Management,’ ‘Open Source Cloud Stack,’ ‘Economic Considerations,’ and ‘Opportunities and Risks.’ The extensive bibliography provides a good springboard for those who want to delve into specific topics. … I recommend this book for anyone wanting a fairly quick read that introduces the field of cloud computing.” (Wes Munsil, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)
