Resumen

Cloud provides a reliable and secure infrastructure for hosting applications and data that can be used for implementing information technology solutions. A cloud virtually offers ilimitted computing and storage capacities transparently managed through services: space management, computing, scalability, services management. It is a middleware that enables evolutive access to on line services. Applications and data are not hosted in a local computer but on distant servers interconnected through an excellent bandwidth. Access to a cloud can be done through a classic application for instance a Web browser. The possibility of accessing a computing system with illimited storage and computing capacities introduces important changes in the way information systems are designed, architectured and managed. It imposes developers to analyze security, privacy, and information and systems’ functions control.

Data management challenges are in the centre of the cloud and it seems that enabling the construction of cloud aware systems can be done by reliably mashing up data management and business services. Resulting mashups develop virtual data managers adapted to execution conditions and application requirements. Getting to services mashups in the cloud opens interesting research and technical challenges that will be discussed in this talk.
