Reviews
I found the material presented in Chapter 11 (titled SaaS Clouds Supporting Biology and Medicine) to be highly enlightening and informative. The discussion on high performance computing in the context of cloud computing with applications in computational biology and medicine is very educational. There are a number of research problems in biology and medicine that demand access to large and federated data sets. The discussion in this chapter provides a means for understanding the cases and situations in which the cloud can be utilized for such important purposes. -Hamid R. Arabnia, University of Georgia, Athens, USA ... the book shows many advantages and the power of cloud computing in solving e-science applications, as compared to other types of high performance computing infrastructures. The selection of e-science applications included in the book comprise representative problems from bio-science, health, data processing, workflows arising in bussinesses, etc. ... well-written and easy to read not only for specialist but also people with basic knowledge on cloud computing. -Fatos Xhafa, Technical University of Catalonia
