Abstract
The goal of this study is to explore emerging trends in cloud computing technology that can support an economic and social change. We apply the methods of entity linking, which links word strings to entities from a knowledge base, to extract main keywords in cloud computing from accumulated publications from 2004 to 2021. Results suggest that in cloud computing research, Internet of things has an accelerated technological and scientific growth compared to the other topics. Other critical research fields that support the evolution of cloud computing are mathematical optimization and virtual machine. These findings reveal a technological competition between Cloud systems infrastructure, hardware development side, and computing and software development to play the main role in technological evolution of Cloud Computing. Moreover, this study shows that technological development of virtual…
