Distributed Processing in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing offers a wide range of resources and services through the Internet that can been used for various purposes. The rapid growth of cloud computing has exempted many companies and institutions from the burden of maintaining expensive hardware and software infrastructure. With characteristics like high scalability, availability and fault tolerance, cloud computing meet the new era needs for massive data processing at an affordable cost. In our doctoral research we intend to study, analyze, evaluate and make proposals in order to further improve the performance of cloud computing.
