Appendix B

Cloud Projects

Several projects for students enrolled in a cloud computing class and a research project involving an extensive simulation are discussed in this section. These projects reflect the great appeal of cloud computing for several types of applications. Large-scale simulation of complex systems such as the one discussed in Sections B.1 and B.2 can only be done using the large pool of resources provided by clouds. Cloud services such as the one discussed in Sections B.3 and B.4 are another important class of applications.

Design projects where multiple alternatives must be evaluated and compared, such as the one discussed in Section B.5, benefit from a cloud environment. Several, possibly many design alternative can be simulated ...
