Thanks everyone for update. Andrew,
I am Hitesh Wadekar, I am prospective student for MS computer sciecne (Fall 2012). It will be glad for us if you could specify or elaborate more what exactly you want to do, as cloud is vast, We need to choose specific domain for study, for example, I have choosen OpenStack + Xen Cloud Platform. I undestand that your focus towords IT engineering. but, I would suggest we should first study OpenStack nut and bolts. then we can come across good solution for IT engineering for OpenSatck ( for instance, deployment, performance study, virtualization layer automation through cloud orchastration etc...) OpenSatck is good platform to study public vs private. I guess now all industry is planning to opt OpenStack. SOA (Software Oriented Architecture) will play major part in the future. and for this Nova-API and XAPI (Xen API), LibVirt are very important. I completly agree with Todd. We need to provide first proposal to draw an overview to study. Thanks Andrew and Todd. Let me know Andrew if you need more information, we can chat over gmail.
