Cloud Computing in CS Education
I enjoyed reading an article titled "plugging into the cloud" published in Crossroads Spring 2010 this weekend. I am using gmail and google calendar everyday. But like most people, I am also concerned with losing privacy and security by giving up my data in the cloud. I believe there are a lot of users like me have to trade off between the convenience of storage and computing power in the cloud and security not to own data. As a CS person, I am also interested in the opportunities and challenges for the cloud computing environment. For example, service software in the cloud have to scale well in the cloud. How to address this issue in CS Education directly, effectively, and efficiently? I plan to spend some time do more research on this topic.
