"Building on compute and storage virtualization, and leveraging the modern Web, cloud computing provides scalable, network-centric, abstracted IT infrastructure as on-demand services that are billed by consumption."
Cloud Computing Research Focus: Business Engineering
Cloud computing is widely perceived as a disruptive technology that is about to change the fundamentals of ICT business. Within the scope of our research activities we want to understand the cloud ecosystem and its players, valuate the benefit that this emerging technology provides and discuss the strategic implications. Doing so, we are going to present a structured framework on how to approach a TCO calculation in order to compare cloud computing services to alternative ICT solutions.
Cloud Computing Research Focus: Service Technology
Cloud computing is an exciting technology that offers new ways to design and program ICT services. Our research activities concentrate on cloud programming models, frameworks and middleware as well as engineering cloud applications.
