Research of the Emergence of Virtual Organizations Based on Cloud Computing Environment

In the cloud computing environment, resources of services encapsulation extend from initial computing resources to all other encapsulated social resources, such as manufacturing resources, financial resources, etc. Increasingly, services are reflecting the agent characteristics. This paper proposes that the cloud computing environment is a complex adaptive system of which the service is the service agent. With the emergence of its core, the model of interactions between service agents has been established by synthesizing theories and technologies of various disciplines like System Science, Economics, Management and Computer Science. By using the CAS theory as the technical route of cloud computing environment and its service agents, we can draw the conclusion that virtual organizations will spring up because of the combination of service agents.
