Cloud Futurology

The cloud has become integral to most Internet-based applications and user gadgets. This article provides a brief history of the cloud and presents a researcher's view of the prospects for innovating at the infrastructure, middleware, and applications and delivery levels of the already crowded cloud computing stack.
