Abstract :
Cloud computing can be examined as an abstract business model and architecture. Joe Weinman, the founder of Cloudonomics and author of Cloudonomics: The Business Value of Cloud Computing, will overview generic cloud strategies, insights and predictions base on examining cloud economics and architecture from the perspective of statistical demand aggregation effects, on-demand resourcing, pay-per-use pricing benefits, and network cost and performance tradeoffs. He will conclude with an introduction to a first attempt at Axiomatic Cloud Theory, which provides a mathematically rigorous foundation for describing cloud infrastructures.
