| dc.description.abstract | This is the fifth book in the series, Advances in Digital Business and
Enabling Technologies, which aims to contribute to multi-disciplinary
research on digital business and enabling technologies, such as cloud computing, social media, big data analytics, mobile technologies and the
Internet of Things, in Europe.
Previous volumes sought to consider and extend conventional thinking
on disrupting finance, the business value of the cloud, and more specifically on cloud computing architectures to greater support heterogeneity
and to reliably provision applications and infrastructure on distributed
clouds. In many ways, this fifth volume is a companion to the last volume,
Managing Distributed Cloud Applications and Infrastructure. Whereas
that volume focussed on optimisation from the cloud to the edge, this fifth
volume explores the cloud-to-thing continuum. | |
