Abstract

With the rapid growth of cloud computing, the sharing of IT resources has become extremely popular in commerce. However, the term "cloud computing" hasn't been clearly distinguished from other approaches such as grid or voluntary computing. The authors describe a conceptual framework designed to help understand the products offered by cloud computing vendors like Amazon or Google. They provide a criteria catalogue along with a Cloud Business Ontology Model to give an overview of how products can be classified.
