Towards Cross-platform Cloud Computing : M Slawinska, J Slawinski : Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular and prevalent in many
domains. However, there is high variability in the
programming models, access methods, and operational aspects
of different clouds, diminishing the viability of cloud computing
as a true utility. The ADAPAS project attempts to analyze
the commonalities and differences between cloud offerings with a
view to determining the extent to which they may be unified.
We propose the concept of dynamic adapters supported by runtime
systems for environment preconditioning, that help
facilitate cross platform deployment of cloud applications. This vision
paper outlines the issues involved, and presents preliminary
ideas for enhancing the executability of applications on different
cloud platforms.

Cloud Computing in Academics-
Applications of Cloud Computing in Academic Institutions- Simarpreet Singh Gulati, Aman Malhotra and Prince Kumar
ABSTRACT: Cloud Computing is making it probable to split the method of building an infrastructure for service provisioning from the Institutions of providing end user services. Today, such infrastructures are usually provided in huge statistics centers and the applications are executed distantly from the users. For institutions, switching to cloud-based services afford them the capability to supply superior association and research abilities, while at the same time, providing a chance to slice IT outlay while providing the similar - or superior - levels of computing services. Magnified by the need to strip overhead outlay at a moment when public and private institutions are grappling with important budget shortfalls, Cloud Computing allows institutions to not just utilize the resources of commercial cloud providers - many of which are accessible to them either for free or at condensed costs. With the cloud model, students and faculty can take benefit of the skill to work and converse from anyplace and on any device using cloud-based applications. The benefits for superior education hub upon the scalability and the finances of Cloud Computing. These
