Cloud Computing and security
Abstract
Cloud computing, particularly software as a service and platform as a service, raises problems about the interaction between the platform provider (such as Amazon) and service hosted there. Possible PhD topics include:
• Reasoning about nodes and virtual machines in the cloud, particularly using modal logics
• Applying game theory to analyzing the incentives of economic actors in the cloud, such as platform providers, business hosted in the cloud, and customers.
