Technology trends may come and go, but cloud computing technologies have been gaining consideration in the commercial world due to its ability to provide on-demand access to resources, control the software environment, and supplement existing systems. Pervasive Cloud Computing Technologies: Future Outlooks and Interdisciplinary Perspectives explores the latest innovations with cloud computing and the impact of these new models and technologies. This book will present case studies and research on the future of cloud computing technologies and its ability to increase connectivity of various entities of the world. It is an essential resource for technology practitioners, engineers, managers, and academics aiming to gain the knowledge of these novel and pervasive technologies.

The book Cloud Computing Fundamentals is intended for both undergraduate and graduate students who seek a quick overview of cloud computing technologies without the need to go into complex technical details. Each chapter is written to provide enough information for students to have a broad picture of the different concepts underlying cloud computing and its applications in the real world. Students will find that attention has been given to keep notes on each topic discussed as concise and precise as possible to impart the necessary knowledge required for a basic understanding of cloud computing. At the end of each chapter, students will also find a summary and review questions that help focus on key points covered. This book can be used as supplementary material for a course in cloud computing.
