Cloud Computing - Frederic Magoules - Bog

This book presents various technologies that demonstrate how cloud computing can meet business requirements and serve as the infrastructure of multidimensional data analysis applications. Addressing performance issues, it explores the evolution of classical techniques and describes completely new methods and innovative algorithms. The text covers scheduling algorithms for real-time tasks and practical algorithms for user bidding and auctioneer pricing. It explains approaches to data analytical query processing, including pre-computing, data indexing, and data partitioning. Applications of MapReduce, a new parallel programming model, are also presented.
