Thorough
analyses of research and teaching activities, requirements for cloud
computing, benefits of utilizing cloud computing, and adoption barriers
for these activities are also included. The authors then present the
selected challenges in tackling these barriers and discuss possible
approaches for solving these challenges and report lessons learned and
experiences in utilizing and developing cloud computing solutions for
teaching and research activities in Vietnam . The complete information
