Abstract
Cloud computing focuses on the idea of service as the elementary unit for building any application. Even though Cloud computing was originally developed in commercial applications, the paradigm is quickly and widely spreading in open contexts such as scientific and academic communities. Two main research directions can thus be identified: provide an open Cloud infrastructure able to provide and share resources and services to the community; and implement an interoperable framework, allowing commercial and open Cloud infrastructures to interact and interoperate. In this chapter, we present the Cloud@Home paradigm that proposes to merge Volunteer and Cloud computing as an effective and feasible solution for building open and interoperable Clouds. In this new paradigm, users’ hosts are not passive interfaces to Cloud services anymore, but can interact (for free or by charge) with other Clouds, which therefore must be able to interoperate.
