The 2013 International Workshop on Cloud Computing for Web-Based Learning (IWCWL 2013) Chairs' Message

摘要

Cloud computing is an active research area on computing and communication technology in recent years. The unprecedented amount of computing and storage resources on cloud systems can be provided to us via the Internet with traditional computers or smart appliances. With these unlimited computing and storage resources, a large number of researches have been focused on applying the traditional Internet services to the cloud computing environments. This workshop concerns the recent developments and applications of web-based learning, as an important Internet service, in the modern cloud-computing environments. The objective of this workshop is to invite authors to submit original research articles that demonstrate and explore current advances in all aspects of cloud computing for web-based learning. Authors are encouraged to submit either theoretical or practical articles to this workshop. After review, we selected six quality papers in IWCWL 2013, respectively, for presentation covering various aspects of cloud computing for web-based learning.
