  In the era of Internet of Things and with the explosive worldwide growth of
electronic data volume, and associated need of processing, analysis, and
storage of such humongous volume of data, it has now become mandatory to
exploit the power of massively parallel architecture for fast computation.
Cloud computing provides a cheap source of such computing framework for large
volume of data for real-time applications. It is, therefore, not surprising to
see that cloud computing has become a buzzword in the computing fraternity over
the last decade. This book presents some critical applications in cloud
frameworks along with some innovation design of algorithms and architecture for
deployment in cloud environment. It is a valuable source of knowledge for
researchers, engineers, practitioners, and graduate and doctoral students
working in the field of cloud computing. It will also be useful for faculty
members of graduate schools and universities.
