“…According to Wang and von Laszewski [21], Cloud computing can be defined as "A computing Cloud is a set of network enabled services, providing scalable, QoS guaranteed, normally personalized, inexpensive computing platforms on demand, which could be accessed in a simple and pervasive way". Cloud computing has many differences to Grid computing technology.…”

“…A lot of studies were developed to define cloud computing; we found it better to introduce them from two perspectives, the research groups' perspective and cloud professional users one. The NIST 1 , as a research institute, has defined the cloud computing as follows "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." [9].…”

Flying over the clouds or driving through the crowd, to work in an auto-managed and scalable environment or to get overwhelmed with the management as well as the development techniques and costly resources. That is a common problem facing most small to medium sized organizations. Cloud computing has been a breakthrough recently helping in the emergence of new resources, management, and services sharing between users and providers. With the consideration of the quality of services as a crucial factor for evaluating any service, the decision of adopting the new cloud techniques or remain in premise is one of the problems that faces the decision makers. The work proposed in this paper concentrates on surveying and studying the cloud among different professionals' perspectives and researches to be able to determine the most important and common aspects that affect the decision of cloud adoption. Furthermore, it considers in action the quality of services that are proposed to be the most effective while deciding. The factors determined are classified and used to set the infrastructure of building a full framework to facilitate the user's adoption decision. An evaluation model is proposed as well to measure the efficiency of the framework within real life.

“…In the last few years, there have been a lot of successful attempts of incorporating Grid [23][24] [32] and Cloud technologies [1][2] [3] [18] [22] [25][27] to foster large simulations over the Internet, such as the Grid-aware Time Warp Kernel [16] and the HLA_Grid_RePast framework [5] [6]. However, these simulation systems are only suited for executing coarse-grained models due to the limited network bandwidth between different administrative domains.…”
