15.1 Introduction One of the major recent developments in the field of information technology is cloud computing, which may significantly change the way people do computing and manage information. Cloud computing is a large-scale distributed computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale in which a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically scalable computing functions and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet [1].
