A Conceptual Paper on Multi-Scale Applications in Cloud Environment with Reference to Variety of Data

2020 VOLUME-8 ISSUE-10, AUGUST 2019, REGULAR ISSUE  
Developments in Cloud Computing has opened up new avenues for cutting – edge technology applications. It is the conventional technology that deploys the applications and services on internet servers instead of traditional servers. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) allows access to a variety of applications on the cloud commonly known as Multi-scale applications. Social and Professional media like Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, ResearchGate etc. have migrated to cloud. The terms

The applications can be scaled up or down based on the network traffic scenario, and has thus opened up a Pandora's Box in new research and development of multi–scale cloud based applications. This conceptual paper attempts to review literature across various domains where the term multi-scale, scaling, cloud based application have been used and arrive at a reasonable, crisp, concise yet accurate definition of the term multi – scale and multi–scale cloud application. The term "Multi – Scale" is used in various fields referring to multiple scales applied to arrive at solutions to spatio-temporal problems. This conceptual paper attempts to associate a formal definition to the term "multi-scale cloud application" in the cloud computing world. The proposed definition of the said term is extremely relevant in the context of multi–scale applications developed in recent times.
