Abstract

The Nordic Symposium on Cloud Computing and Internet Technologies (NordiCloud) has been found with the key aim of promoting and supporting Cloud computing and Internet Technologies research and practice in Nordic and Baltic regions. It would provide a bridge between researchers and practitioners from Nordic/Baltic countries and Cloud computing communities in other parts of the World. The first symposium was organized as a collocated event with WICSA/ECSA 2012 in Helsinki, Finland. This report summarizes the key points from the symposium based on the presented talks and discussions. It highlights some of the areas that the participants considered worth pursuing in order to help organizations to not only exploit the opportunities that cloud computing offers but also to deal with the challenges when adopting cloud computing. This report points out some of the key challenges and potential solutions that are likely to interest researcher and practitioners in Nordic/Baltic regions and beyond.
