Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:
“Cloud computing affects all areas where computers and mobile clients are used, including industry, government, and science. This book offers a multitude of examples of this new way of handling data and computer resources--from basic research in the life sciences and physics to enterprise-level applications in industry. … handbook is highly relevant and provides the reader with good information about the fundamentals of all aspects of cloud computing. After reading the book, readers will understand how much is already being done in the cloud.” (Aake Edlund, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2011)
