The view angles of cloud computing

[Owen Oriaku]

Hi  All,

I am new in Cloud Computing and just started my PhD programme. The purpose of this is to discuss how cloud computing could be perceived from different view angles. In my view, I have been able to identify five different view angles:

• Top down View 
• The overall cloud computing service criteria.
• Service Provider’s View 
•  What are the algorithms/techniques that make a cloud service offering a proper solution to the cloud consumer/user?
• Which service providers are offering the criteria features in a technically challenging and solution complete to the cloud consumers?
• Technical View – This is about the technical algorithms and protocol
• What makes a cloud service viable for a cloud consumer on a platform (technically in terms of the cloud computing service criteria).
• What are the algorithms & techniques that make each cloud computing criteria item work properly on any user platform?
• Communication View
• How does the algorithms & technicalities fit with each other in terms of the cloud service offerings i.e. connectivity, complexity, communications link?
• Implementation View
• How would a cloud consumer/user be offered a cloud service using a link on a particular platform with constraints?
• What are the implementation issues in cloud computing?

I need your views on the above. Any contributions and ideas would be highly appreciated. In terms of User platform, I am referring to (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).
