Abstract:

Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that are commoditised and delivered in a manner similar to utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted. Several computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing vision. Cloud computing has emerged as one of the buzzwords in the IT industry and turned the vision of "computing utilities" into a reality. It delivers infrastructure, platform, and software (application) as services, which are made available as subscription-based services in a pay-as-you-go model to consumers. The price that Cloud Service Providers charge can vary with time and the quality of service (QoS) expectations of consumers. Therefore, Enterprise and Big Data applications need tools and platforms for their rapid construction and deployment on Clouds on-demand meeting user QoS requirements at lower price.

This keynote presentation will cover (a) 21st century vision of computing and identify emerging IT paradigms, (b) opportunities and challenges in Cloud/Big Data computing and application development models, (c) innovative architecture for creating market-oriented and elastic Clouds by harnessing virtualisation technologies; (d) Aneka, a Cloud Application Platform, and Cloudbus Workflow Engine for rapid development of Cloud/Big Data applications and their deployment on Clouds with resource provisioning driven by SLAs; (e) experimental results on deploying Cloud and Big Data applications in engineering, and health care, and astronomy/ satellite image processing, business intelligence on elastic Clouds, and (f) directions for delivering our 21st century vision along with pathways for future research.
