SUMMARY:The seven deadly sins of cloud computing research - Malte Schwarzk

DESCRIPTION:Research into distributed parallelism on “the cloud” has  
 surged lately. As the research agenda and methodology  in this area are be
 ing established\, tendencies  towards certain common simplifications and 
 shortcuts  employed by researchers can be observed. I provocatively term t
 hese "sins"\, as they are commonly committed and yet can be  threats to th
 e scientific integrity and practical applicability of research. In this t
 alk\, I will identify  and discuss seven particular "deadly sins"\, and pr
 esent evidence illustrating that  they pose real problems. Finally\, I wil
 l discuss ways for the research community to avoid them in the future.\n\n
 This is an extended talk based on my HotCloud 2012 paper.\n\nBio: Malte is
  a PhD student at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory\, workin
 g on the boundary between operating systems and distributed systems. He is
  supervised by Steve Hand\, and one of the authors of the NSDI 2011 paper 
 on the CIEL universal execution engine for distributed data-flow computing
 \, and currently works on the Firmament project on distributed computing o
 ver heterogeneous resources.\n\n
