Thank you. However, while this is indeed the most recent paper, it does not contain the most recent information. As we all know, the cogs of peer review grind far more slowly than companies such as Amazon can change their offerings. Amazon had improved its cloud services -- and its benchmarks -- by the time this paper was presented. In fairness, Keith Jackson, the author who presented the paper at CloudCom10, included some of the new results in his presentation, archived here: http://screencast.computer.org:8080/ess/echo/presentation/6cb2953a-3143-4775-b165-8de7af1ba88a So, while we're thrilled that our researchers are getting the recognition that they deserve, we'd like to point out this information rather than appear to be unfair to anyone.
