CloudMan as a tool execution framework for the cloud

Cloud computing has revolutionized how availability and access to computing and storage resources is realized; it has made it possible to provision a large computational infrastructure in a matter of minutes, all through a web browser. What it has not yet solved is accessibility of a tool execution environment where tools and data can easily be added and used in non-trivial scenarios. In this paper, we demonstrate how CloudMan (http://usecloudman.org) can be used to provide complete and complex tool execution environments for making cloud resources functional for a desired domain.
