It seems every day that I read encouraging news about the expansion of cloud computing. It is my hope that the theoretical and practical aspects of the M Language will make a contribution to the semantics associated with cloud computing.
The following link describes a small part of our work, serving as an introduction.
This article provides some interesting points:
Borzo, Jeanette, 2010. Salesforce to offer 'cloud' database. The Wall Street Journal, Dec. 7.
The company plans to offer a web based database.
The following quote highlights the potential of cloud computing:
"The news comes amid the rapid growth of cloud computing, a market led by database makers such as Oracle and Microsoft Corp. Global revenue from cloud services is expected to grow 16.6% to $68.3 billion this year, and more than double to $148.8 billion by 2014, according to technology consultancy Gartner Inc."
I will be making more posts on this subject before the end of the week.
