SUMMARY:Clouds on the Horizon: Challenges in Building the Next Generation 
 of Computing Infrastructure - Steve Hand (University of Cambridge)

CONTACT:Eiko Yoneki
DESCRIPTION:Cloud computing is being widely hailed as the future: by outso
 urcing computation to third party servers\, it seems possible to avoid cap
 ital expenditure\, save on operational expenditure\,  gain hitherto unavai
 lable scalability\, and perhaps even help save the planet. \n\nIn this tal
 k I'll outline the current state of cloud computing\, and highlight a numb
 er of challenges which\, I believe\, are needed in order to truly make clo
 ud computing a viable option.\n\nThis talk is his rehearsal keynote talk f
 or APSys at SIGCOMM 2010 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/APSy
 s.php#keynote2).\n
