Multi-source Information Service Process Management in Cloud Computing Environment

During the past few decades, a large extension in the delivery and process capability of network resources have evoked the demand of high available, reliable, security, customized, networked and toward Multi-Source Information Service(MSIS). Accordingly, Cloud Computing has been one of the research hotspots in computer science and network engineering area, which is a revolution of computing paradigm whereby all the resources in the network as a huge resource pool are delivered as integrated and on-demand services in the form of, i.e. CaaS, MaaS, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc. Besides, the services provided in Cloud Computing are largely oriented to the requirement of information services today. Thus, Cloud Computing provides an opportunity of development and environment for new service pattern of MSIS. This purpose of this article is to put forward some issues associated with Cloud Computing and the nature part of the relation between MSIS and Cloud Computing, and to propose a novel view of information service concept that is characterized by multi-source in the service process model and service management, which combines the top-down and bottom-up process approaches into an integrated one by using an information exchange platform provided by the cloud.
