Clouds for Masses - Toward Ubiquitous and Transparent Clouds

摘要

Since the development of the computer, user orientated innovations such as graphical operating systems, mice, and mobile devices have made computing ubiquitous in modern society. The cloud is the next step in this process. Through the cloud, computing has undergone co modification and has been made available as a utility. However, in comparison to other commodities such as water and electricity, clouds (in particular IaaS and PaaS) have not reached the same penetration into the global market. We propose that through further abstraction, future clouds will be ubiquitous and transparent, made accessible to ordinary users and integrated into all aspects of society. This paper presents a concept and path to this ubiquitous and transparent cloud, accessible by the masses.
