Cloud 2014

The EVolving Open Software Systems (EVOSS) research group hosted an industry-focused event entitled ‘Cloud Computing: Towards Enlightenment’ on Friday Oct 31, 2014. Attended by 60 delegates, the event was supported by the Irish Software Research Centre (Lero), Whitaker Institute, and the Business Information Systems discipline.

The highly successful event presented case studies of how cloud computing has been successfully leveraged by industry, lessons learned, what to do (and not to do); a structured discussion on cloud benefits, pitfalls and opportunities; and a talk on how cloud computing impacts business models, presenting leading research on this topic happening at NUI Galway. The group’s research on cloud computing is extensive, and cloud computing has become a core part of the SFI-funded research team.

Companies attending included multiple delegates from Avaya, IBM, HP, Cisco, AltoCloud, CInfinity, Fintrax, BuilderEngine, Marrakech/Capita, OpenJaw, Schneider-Electric, Magic Media, Celtrak, students from the School of Business & Economics’ MSc Cloud Computing Research programme, and many others.
