Using Free Software for Elastic Web Hosting on a Private Cloud
Finally published: Greg’s and my journal paper on how to build a private cloud for elastic web hosting. It’s published in the International Journal of Cloud Applications and Computing (IJCAC) and it can be yours if you have 30$ to spare.
I’d really like to provide the PDF free of cost but the copyright agreement I had to sign does not even allow me to host the paper on my own web space – that’s basically what I loathe about scientific publications, but my options are limited here, I need a journal publication for my PhD and with journal publications you don’t really get good copyright deals. If you ever wanted to know how a copyright agreement looks, you can find the one from IGI Global here. The relevant parts are:
The author(s) in consideration of the publication of the above named manuscript also understands:
1. Author(s) agrees to, and does hereby assign all rights, title and interest, including copyrights, in and to the manuscript to Publisher. The author retains the rights to any intellectual property developed by the author and included in the manuscript including, without limitation, any models, theories, or conclusions formulated by the author. While the author may use any and all thoughts and research results developed or accumulated while working on a manuscript, and may rewrite, update, and re‐title them for use in other publications, the author CANNOT use the verbatim text of the manuscript or any part thereof that has been copyrighted by IGI Global without first obtaining the written permission of IGI Global.
(…)
4. Author(s) cannot post the contents of the article on any website or distribute the work to others in either electronic or print forms without the written permission of IGI Global.
Well, at least my PhD thesis will be published under a Creative Commons license.
