Uwe will present a paper from the upcoming 2010 SIGMOD on benchmarking cloud infrastructures, which investigates the performance, scalability and costs of several big cloud infrastructures, including Amazon’s S3, Google AppEng and Microsoft’s Azure. I think it will be quite an interesting read and would expect quite a controversial discussion at SIGMOD about it.
