All bibliography articles were made available online before 2010-04-10.

This survey covers only representative Conferences and Journals in software engineering and cloud computing domain. All articles were retrieved by keyword "cloud computing". Surprisingly, literature directly related to "cloud computing" and "software engineering" is still rare.

J. Cappos et al. developed a cloud computing education environment "Seattle" [1][14] (Thanks to Ivan). Unfortunately I did not find further information about "Seattle". On the other hand, Eucalyptus is used in E. Caron et al. work [11]. Maybe Eucalyptus will be a good start for cloud computing practice for those who have no resources accessing Amazon S3/EC2, or limited by Google GAE.

E. M. Maximilien et al. [2][3] revealed a part of IBM's directions to the cloud computing. The idea to build cloud-agnostic middleware is definitely not new. Is not Hardware-Server-PHP-MySQL-PHPWebsite similar to this solution ? Of course the scale is totally different, but the middleware idea is basically the same.

Some considerable statement can be found in ACM roundtable series on cloud computing [6]. For example, G. Ramleth, CIO of Bechtel, said : "This is not a technology game but a change-management game."

L.-J. Zhang et al. tried to pull cloud computing back to connect with service-oriented computing / SOA [7]. Some other related work can be found in International Conference on Cloud Computing ( IEEEXplorer link here ).

Althoug the data service is one of the ealiest applications in service-oriented computing and cloud computing, there seems still much to do in this field [8][9]. Same as the study of cloud computing in the end user living environment [4][12]. Is that cloud computing the game of IT companies ? Or the users will be forced to involve in the cloud computing ? To this issue, A. Lenk et al. [13] organized the cloud stack and adds an extra layer : Human-as-a-Service (HuaaS) which is not general mentioned in other studies. Unfortunately, no further discussion is made.
