Host: Li Xiao <http://www.cse.msu.edu/%7Elxiao/>


      Abstract

In this talk, Dr. Hwang will assess the impact of cloud computing and 
emerging Internet applications. He will present a virtual-machine 
approach to cluster partitioning and mechanisms for replicated data 
protection. These techniques enable dynamic cloud resource provisioning 
and secure data management in web-scale distributed computing and 
business applications. The talk covers evolutional changes from 
wide-area computational grids, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, to 
cloud/utility computing paradigms. He will discuss research issues in 
building cloud infrastructures and assessing cloud projects at Google, 
Amazon, IBM, etc. that explore massive server clusters and large number 
of globally deployed datacenters in recent years.
