What is Cloud Computing

Handbook of Research on ICTs and Management Systems for Improving Efficiency in Healthcare and Social Care
Is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to shared computing resources (such as servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. It is this concept that is generalized in Cloud Rehabilitation.

Abstract
The world’s population is getting older with the percentage of people over 60 increasing more rapidly than any other age group. Telerehabilitation may help minimise the pressure this puts on the traditional healthcare system, but recent studies showed ease of use, usability, and accessibility as unsolved problems, especially for older people who may have little experience or confidence in using technology. Current migration towards multimodal interaction has benefits for seniors, allowing hearing and vision problems to be addressed by exploring redundancy and complementarity of modalities. This chapter presents and contextualizes work in progress in a new telerehabilitation service targeting the combined needs of the elderly to have professionally monitored exercises without leaving their homes with their need regarding interaction, directly related to age-related effects on, for example, vision, hearing, and cognitive capabilities. After a brief general overview of the service, additional information on its two supporting applications are presented, including information on user interfaces. First results from a preliminary evaluation are also included.

Cultural Differences in Managing Cloud Computing Service Level Agreements
Cloud Computing is a term which is rooted in the area of computing architectures. It describes a concept which is closely linked to the grid-computing technology, however in contrast to grid-computing which is used in a more technical context, cloud computing describes an architectural concept where computational services in form of applications, platforms, data and infrastructures are no longer situated on local systems but can be accessed on demand in a far-away cloud of interconnected computers and servers. To access this remote system, which connects supplier and consumer, as well as entities of different clouds run by different providers, defined interfaces or standard applications such as a web browser are used with the internet functioning as the access base (Hayes, 2008). In cloud computing three possible forms of the cloud can be distinguished, depending on what form of service is offered. The first one is Software as a Service (SaaS). As the name implies, SaaS-providers focus on offering software to their customers, who neither know about the underlying infrastructure, nor do they gain control over it. The second form is named Platform as a Service (PaaS), a further development of the SaaS-model, where PaaS-providers offer computing platforms or portals. The idea behind PaaS is that developers don’t write their own home page etc. running on someone else’s servers. Instead, they programme web-based software applications, which they can then operate without having to buy, set up and maintain servers. These, on the one hand, streamline the access to software and, on the other hand, facilitate combinations of services, so called mash-ups. In addition, PaaS’ platforms and portals drastically affect software service sales through their network effects. As a counterpart to SaaS on the software side, the third form of the cloud is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). IaaS-providers sell storage or processing capacities to their customers, which are placed at the disposal of the higher layers SaaS and PaaS. A well-known example of IaaS is Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), where customers can buy instances, paying on an hourly basis.

Should the Cloud Computing Definition Include a Big Data Perspective?
The term Cloud Computing is divided into two words; the word computing refers to any activity that involves computer processing or storage, a computer manipulates and stores data, which commonly reside on the hard drive of a computer, or in other hardware such as NAS (network-attached storage), commodity hardware (affordable and readily available hardware), the mainframe, etc. The hard drive can store anything, including structured data, unstructured data, software, databases, etc. In Cloud Computing terminology, these capabilities are designed as services, and these services are offered services in a cloud , anywhere on earth. In other words, its location does not matter. This term also refers to networked computers, among which processing power is distributed. Distribution is a key element in Cloud Computing to enable processing large set data’s.

This model is known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). In the model of Platform as a Service (PaaS), the provider offers a computing platform (operating system, compilers, databases, web server). Also widely use in business applications is Software as a Service (Saas), where the emphasis is on providing specific software and databases.
