This document contains summaries of several sources related to cloud computing in Australia. It discusses the Australian government's national cloud computing strategy announced by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy at CeBIT 2013. The strategy aims to promote cloud adoption among government agencies, small businesses, and consumers. It also seeks to support the cloud services sector through skills development, competition, and R&D. The Australian Computer Society welcomed the strategy and said it will help policymakers address opportunities and challenges in the digital economy. The document also provides context about the presenter's PhD research which examines a framework for measuring service value in cloud computing.
