A Tutorial on Next-Generation Cloud Computing
Dr. Pethuru Raj , Lead Architect , Corporate Research (CR)
Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions (RBEI), Bangalore, India

The much-hyped and hoped cloud paradigm is seeing an unprecedented adoption and adaption across the globe. The path-breaking cloud paradigm and philosophy is actually a smart and sensible combination of several proven and promising technologies such as consolidation, virtualization, optimization, automation, service orientation (SO), and an array of computing paradigms such as cluster, grid, on-demand, autonomic and utility computing. There are a growing array of competent automation and management tools for empowering, monitoring, managing, and maintaining cloud infrastructures and resources. Primarily auto-provisioning of cloud resources, job scheduling, workload management, virtual machine (VM) creation and control, etc. are the vital tasks getting compactly automated resulting in a tremendous reduction in IT complexity. In a typical cloud environment, real-time elasticity of resources and scalability of services and applications are also guaranteed. All these portend that the pioneering cloud idea is to stay and shine. The noteworthy aspect is that cloud infrastructures fulfil myriad quality attributes (Non-functional requirements such as IT scalability / elasticity, availability, affordability, adaptability, alacrity, sustainability, consumability, high performance etc.). The cloud paradigm has come as a boon and blessing for enterprise IT as it could introduce and incorporate a series of innovations and improvisations there in order to realize the dream of business-IT alignment.

The Emerging Trends in the Cloud Space - The extraordinary success of cloud computing in the enterprise space is being spectacularly leveraged and replicated in the vast and varied embedded space. All kinds of physical and embedded devices are being connected and linked up with clouds inducing a kind of deeper and deft connectivity among disparate, distributed, and decentralised devices enabling elegant and exotic situation-aware and people-centric services and applications. Cloud, being such a disruptive and transformative technology, is bound to raise a storm of advancements and accomplishments across a variety of domains in the days to unfold. .In other words, the cloud space is all set to join as the third major force along with the enterprise and web spaces in accurately understanding peoples’ needs, conceiving, conceptualizing and concretizing the identified requirements in the form of services and applications that can be delivered unobtrusively to the right people at the right time at the right place. Cloud is bringing the much-needed transition from the expensive IT to elastic, elegant and finally exotic IT. The cloud space is seeing much more value and verve as entrepreneurs, employees and executives are on the knowhow of the interruptive nature of cloud technology.

Next-Generation Cloud-based Services - All kinds of enterprise services and applications are being modernized, migrated and managed in consolidated, converged, dynamic, elastic and adaptive cloud infrastructures and platforms. This induces and inspires the need for competent, dynamic, and versatile cloud brokers (A kind of middleware for connecting, integrating and composing people-centric and context-aware cloud services) and brokerage services firms. As per the Gartner’s latest market research and analysis report on the cloud computing, there is a huge market out there for cloud brokerage services. Novel services and applications are being built by individuals, innovators and institutions with the solitary goal of supplying them to the world from clouds. As the visibility, agility, availability and acceptability of cloud services, platforms and infrastructures are becoming prominent and dominant, there is a new group of companies and corporations emerging and establishing to act as connectors, brokers, mediators, arbitrators, and decision-makers of a variety of cloud resources.

In this tutorial talk, I would like to focus on the following topics
The Enabling Technologies of Cloud Computing
The Principal Drivers of Cloud Computing
Emerging Deployment, Delivery and Consumption Models
Newer and Nimbler Cloud Types
The Security, Visibility, Controllability, Interoperability and the Portability Issues
The Emergence and Significance of Cloud Brokerage Services
The Cloud Integration & Composition Scenarios
The Cloud Middleware
The Intermediation Services
The Arbitration and Aggregation Services

Dr. Pethuru Raj has been working as a Lead Architect in Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions (RBEI), Bangalore since 2009. Before that, he, as a senior consultant in Wipro Technologies, Bangalore for three years, focused in a few emerging and evolving technologies such as SOA and Cloud Computing. He was selected as a JSPS Research Fellow and again as a JST Research Scientist to focus on promising and potential IT technologies in two leading Japanese universities for 3 years. Totally Pethuru Raj has 8 years of solid industry experience in business integration technologies and tools. Also he had a very fruitful experience and expertise on enterprise-scale and distributed systems development and maintenance standards and packages such as enterprise Java (JEE) and Microsoft .NET framework. Currently his research areas include embedded SOA for service-based device-to-device (D2D) integration, Cloud technology for device-to-cloud (D2C) and sensor-to-cloud (S2C) integration, the Internet of Things (IoT) for realizing and sustaining a bevy of smarter environments, and IoT-enabling technologies such as RFID and smart sensor networks.

He finished his PhD degree from Anna University, Chennai and worked as an UGC-sponsored research associate (RA) in the department of computer science and automation (CSA), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He has been contributing well-recognized book chapters in BPM, SOA, Cloud Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, Ambient Intelligence (AmI), etc. Four books being edited by internationally acclaimed professors. Finally on his own, he has been writing a comprehensive book on the Internet of Things and its impacts on the human society. He has a personal site at www.peterindia.net
