Cloud Computing Value Chains: Research from the Operations Management Perspective

讲座摘要:

Cloud computing has been recognized as a critical driver of Information-Technology enabled innovations. The OM community, however, has not been exposed enough to the essential operations problems that arise from management of cloud value chains. We examine recent research on cloud value chains and explore future research opportunities from an Operations Management (OM) perspective. In particular, we focus on major operations challenges facing a cloud provider in three problem domains: (1) pricing in the cloud computing marketplaces, (2) deployment and scheduling of cloud computing resources, and (3) capacity planning and management of cloud supply chains. On the demand side, cloud computing operations are driven by demand that exhibits the following distinct characteristics: complex workflow, demand redundancy, multi-dimensional characteristics, multi-attribute resource requirement, and non-stationarity. On the supply side, cloud computing operations also exhibit distinct characteristics, such as flexible resources, bundled supply, and technology and cost uncertainties. It is worth noting that these characteristics of demand and supply are not all prevalent in other operations. We believe that OM tools and research have the potential to provide vital insights into cloud computing operations and impact management practices in the cloud industry, which in turn can stimulate much innovative research from the OM perspective.
