The Future Directions of Cloud Computing Industry Research and Developments

Abstract

Cloud computing has the potential to revolutionize the commercial world as we know it, but it also presents many unexplored avenues for study. To better understand the state of cloud computing research, we perform comprehensive literature evaluations. There were 188 scholarly journal and conference papers cited. After reading each article, we were able to deduce its essential ideas and use those to create a taxonomy. Our research has shown that there are four main categories related to cloud computing, including (1) advantages and disadvantages, (2) implementation, (3) results, and (4) the present technological and research status of the field. In its final section, the study poses a series of questions that need to be explored further, both theoretically and experimentally. In addition to identifying research gaps in the literature, this review offers a reference source and classification for IS researchers with an interest in cloud computing.
