Track: Cloudy Computing

Abstract: Cloud computing and specifically Infrastructure, Platform or Software as a Service have a major impact on the way we design and architect applications and systems. But it's not only the technology that changes; The notion of zero capital investment and predictable operational expenses provides new opportunities to customers and vendors likewise. However most companies can't or won't move all of their assets to the cloud. Therefore it becomes crucial to understand the type of applications, services and capabilities which benefit the most from cloud computing. But equally important, we need to manage the coexistence and integration of these offerings into today's reality: Whether this is the existing technology portfolio, the regulatory requirements or the end user experience.
