“…Cloud computing's only innovation, according to this view, is that it combines and integrates these approaches (Weinhardt, Anandasivam, Blau, & Stößer, 2009). Other authors equate the service of cloud computing with the practice of "timesharing" that existed in the 1970s when small companies relied on other companies (that had access to mainframe computers) for processing some of their data (e.g., payrolls) for a fee (Campbell-Kelly, 2009). One particular author calls it "Timesharing 2.0" .…”

“…In the 80's, the personal computer completely destroyed the economic basis of the timesharing industry [2]. In 2000's, with the great costs reduction and efficiency of PC's, and Intel's 2005 Virtualization Technology that allowed virtual machines to run as fast as host operating systems [3], we see an increase of searches for a new term called Cloud Computing, a modern reference for Utility Computing.…”

Background: The large computational infrastructures required to provide the on-demand services that most users are now used to are more prone to failures than any single computational device. Thus, fault management is a essential activity in the realization of the cloud computing model.Aims: This work aims at identifying well-explored topics on fault management in cloud computing as well as pinpointing gaps in the scientific literature that may represent opportunities for further research and development in this area.Method: We conducted a systematic mapping study to collect, filter and classify scientific works in this area. The 4535 scientific papers found on major search engines were filtered and the remaining 166 papers were classified according to a taxonomy described in this work.Results: We found that IaaS is most explored in the selected studies. The main dependability functions explored were Tolerance and Removal, and the attributes were Reliability and Availability. Most papers had been classified by research type as Solution Proposal.Conclusion: This work summarizes and classifies the research effort conducted on fault management in cloud computing, providing a good starting point for further research in this area.

“…Virtualization of hardware and software using third-party computing, storage and/or other resources is not a novel approach in distributed computing. In fact, cloud computing descend somehow from the dawn of the computer age, when specialized "thin" terminals endowed with basic data entry and display capabilities were used for allowing multiple users to share the processing power of a remote mainframe [8]. The introduction of ever more powerful and affordable computer technologies resulted in a progressive shift from the "thin" to the "thick" client model, which was in turn characterized by devices with window-based operating systems able to run complex graphics applications [9].…”

Cloud computing is regarded to as an impressive technology, as software and hardware resources become invisible to the users (they "fade" in the cloud), and they replaced by services. In this sense, cloud computing can be considered as an evolution of former virtualization approaches, with service providers delivering on-demand access to various back-end frameworks and front-end applications. This approach requires to strongly trust these providers, as users are forced to give up control on programs and data that were previously hosted on their machines. A possible way to alleviate this drawback could be to enable users "participate" to the cloud with their own applications, thus creating "personal" clouds, which could be even shared with other users. In this paper, we present a prototype implementation of the above idea, which consists of a framework that allows today's applications to be put into the cloud by exploiting user interface automation and accessibility information embedded in modern window-based graphics toolkits.
