Students will individually review one recent peer-reviewed published paper/article and also thoughtfully discuss the research papers content on the developments and technologies in Cloud Computing. Choose one topic that you are interested in, or discuss with the instructor if you have any questions.The assessment is based on the presentation and report rubrics. 

• 30 points for report paper assessed
• 20 points for the slides and presentation

One example of reference paper/article,

1. D. Gonzales, J. M. Kaplan, E. Saltzman, Z. Winkelman and D. Woods, "Cloud-Trust—a Security Assessment Model for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Clouds," in IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 523-536, 1 July-Sept. 2017.

 This article covers many subjects and expands more. II. Presentation (20 points)

• The presentation will be scheduled at the class time in October.
