DESCRIPTION:Cloud computing is already changing consumer expectations of a
 ccess to their data any time\, anywhere\, with a constantly evolving servi
 ce that doesn't require much from their device. Applications like Google a
 nd LinkedIn store customer data and run their queries on servers around th
 e world\, and deliver the results as a service. But as business-critical s
 ervices like logistics or emergency services try to exploit the same distr
 ibuted power\, new benchmarks of Quality of Service must be delivered. Mic
 rosoft and Citrix are already helping real enterprises deploy cloud applic
 ations\, and will share their vision of the hurdles still to be crossed in
  this challenging field and the opportunities for technology companies to 
 help deliver solutions.\n\nSpeakers include Microsoft\, Citrix and Accelry
 s. All members of the University may attend free of charge\, but we like y
