University of Texas working on cloud computing research center
The University of Texas at Austin will work with an availability services provider to form a Cloud Computing Research Center on their campus in order to research issues with the cloud and develop solutions to those problems.
An executive committee of two of the university's faculty members and two executives from the services provider will look to guide the research program. One of the first projects the university and the provider will focus on may be the development of a cloud with exabyte-scale capacity.
"Partnering with an industry and cloud computing leader ... allows us to conduct research that can truly further the state of the art," said Bruce Porter, Chair and professor of Computer Science at UT Austin.
Areas that could be affected by the research include mobile computing, networking, identity verification, fraud prevention and encryption, among others, according to Peter Key of the Philadelphia Business Journal. The university said the results of the research will be released and commercialized when it is appropriate to do so.

Please, I am a PhD student at Aalborg University at the Institute of Electronic Systems. I am researching into Risks in Cloud Environment. My focus is using risk analysis tools to investigate risks in cloud computing. Would it be possible to spend between 3 and 12 months as an intern at your department to share some kind of research information and also gain some experience from your rich research resources. In fact, this is a requirement from my department. One of my professor - Prof. Andrew Jamison is coming to your university somewhere March this year and may contact him since he is one of the professors in my school who knows me well. In fact, he recommended me to your research institute. If possible I would like to join your team March 2014.
Hi, Samuel. Thank you for your enquiry regarding interning with our department. I'm sorry but we don't have a program for research internships.
Thanks for your response. Could you however, let me know if you have exchange programs with international students and conditions or requirement for such agreement. I may be interested in spending some time with your department.
Please give me information regarding scholarship for India students to continue their research in Cloud Computing. Thanks!
Kirti, Thank you for your comment. The Department of Computer Science offers many scholarships for undergraduate students and about half of them are open to international students.
