What is cloud computing?

What are the hot, new scientific buzzwords in HPC/cluster/cloud computing?

  • I know some hot ACADEMIC buzzwords in HPC, cloud, grid, and cluster computing, such as: Mobile cloud computing Jungle computing & Jungle cloud Hyper clouds Green & power-aware computing Big Data (It is actually not HPC!) Glocalization Gamification I need more buzzwords to complete my list.
