Project Summary

In the next 20 years, service oriented computing will play an important role in shaping the
industry, impacting the way business is conducted and how services are delivered and managed. This
paradigm will have major impact on the services economy, which contributes significantly towards
Australia's GDP. With the increased demand for delivering services to a large number of users,
providers are looking for novel ways of hosting their application services on Clouds at low cost
while meeting users' quality of service expectations. This project develops novel utility oriented
technologies for federation of Clouds to support scaling of application services and thereby,
transform the Australian service industry and economy.
