that are commoditized and delivered anal= ogous to traditional utilities such as
electricity, gas, water and telep= hony. Cloud service offerings for compute,
storage and communication res= ources as well as for hosted software and data
are growing at a tremendo= us rate, and it is essential to understand how to
effectively transform = these services into Utilities that provide value to both
users and provi= ders. There is also increasing interest from commercial
providers to off= er business and revenue models around the services they
offer. Understan= ding how these models could be used to provide utility for
users, interm= ediary brokers (aggregators) and providers is also an area of
