| Sumario: | The article discusses cloud computing, examining the shift in computing that is occurring in 2008 from locally installed programs to the computer cloud. The term computer cloud, also known as "Internet as platform," infers that the locus of computation occurs at data centers connected through the Internet, in places near and far from the user. Topics include the surrender of control of computing resources to third-party service providers, the client-server model of the 1980's, and the hub-and-spoke model of time-sharing systems. |
