Software Engineering for the Cloud: a Research
Roadmap
Software Engineering
methodology

Cloud computing is an information technology
which is used by companies and industries.
The aim of this PPT is to analyse the concept of
cloud along with key challenges.
In which a journal article will be discussed that
is Software Engineering for the Cloud: a
Research Roadmap [1].
It is divided into four parts like the content of
the paper, research methods, problems
highlighted by the author, and results and
conclusion.
Introduction

This paper focuses on cloud computing and explains
the challenges faced by cloud technology.
The researcher identified that there are three types
of cloud used such as SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.
It is identified that data-lock in is a common
challenge faced by companies during the
transaction of application from one cloud to another
[2].
The researcher also added a literature review for
improving the effectiveness of paper and identified
the key challenges occurred in cloud computing.
Intention and content of paper

In this paper researcher used various kinds of
methods such as:
Research design: qualitative and quantitative
Research strategy: survey, case studies,
literature review
Data collection method: primary and secondary
methods
Data analysis: statistical method for analysing
data.
Research methods

Data lock-in is very common challenges faced
by cloud computing
Legacy in software migration
Billing and auditing problems faced by SaaS
model
Lack of open source platforms
Cloud service composition problems
Problems highlighted by the
author

It is identified that data lock-in is a common
problem that faced by companies
From the literature review the researcher
evaluated numbers of challenges and issues
occurring in cloud computing
It has been concluded that the problem of data
lock-in can be reduced by using API standardization
and model drive process
This paper described the concept of cloud
computing and highlighted the issues and problems
faced by companies during cloud computing
services.
