Zusammenfassung: | We see a trend where computing becomes a metered utility similar to how the
electric grid evolved. Initially electricity was generated locally but
economies of scale (and standardization) made it more efficient and economical
to have utility companies managing the electric grid. Similar developments can
be seen in computing where scientific grids paved the way for commercial cloud
computing offerings. However, in our opinion, that evolution is far from
finished and in this paper we bring forward the remaining challenges and
propose a vision for the future of computing. In particular we focus on changes
in cost of computing and high cost of human time in comparison that indicates
that saving developer time is the most important for future of computing. |
