Cloud computing beyond turing machines

Abstract

Development of Internet technology and social network has greatly changed the traditional software engineering based on single Turing machine. Software development will be cooperated and completed on the network with collective intelligence. The interaction among human-machine and machine-machine becomes the kernel of Internet computing, while Turing model studied on Entscheidungsproblem based on an automatic computer theoretical model without interaction with people. Clusters or virtual clusters become the basic platform of cloud computing centers. And SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) become the common knowledge for software engineers. Furthermore, the research of network science has discovered lots of physical law about the distribution of information resources, such as the power law distribution of Web services. This paper focuses on this computing paradigm, and analyses the trend of software development style facing Internet computing. And the features of cloud computing such as virtualization, granular computing, soft computing and uncertainty are discussed too.
