His honors also include the IEEE Computer Society\u2019s Technical Committee on Cloud Computing Research Impact Award and the IEEE Technical Community on Services Computing Research Innovation Award.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Melbourne reports that software arising from his research, including Aneka and CloudSim, has been used by academic institutions and businesses in more than 50 countries. <a href=\"https:\/\/about.unimelb.edu.au\/news-resources\/awards-and-achievements\/awards-and-prizes\/cloud-computing-pioneer-receives-research-impact-award\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the university\u2019s research impact profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture connected the San Diego community with research from Australia, giving U.S.-based researchers and industry practitioners an opportunity to learn about ongoing work at Dr. Buyya\u2019s laboratory and discuss emerging directions in cloud and quantum computing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The talk looked at next-generation cloud and quantum computing, including AI-driven infrastructure, edge-cloud integration, and emerging quantum frameworks, followed by a live Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hosted by<\/strong> the IEEE Signal Processing Society San Diego Chapter, as part of the IEEE San Diego Section technical program. Free to attend. Event host and contact: Chhavi Jain, Vice Chair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"recap\"><strong>Community participation<\/strong>The lecture drew participation from professionals working at Qualcomm, Apple, Meta, AMD, and other San Diego technology companies. Participants were very inspired by Dr. Buyya\u2019s presentation. The talk covered a range of open-source tools and techniques from his laboratory in Australia, prompting further discussions among participants beyond the live session. During the presentation, attendees expressed interest in trying the open-source tools discussed and requested reference materials afterward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sources\"><strong>Event listings and related coverage:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/events.vtools.ieee.org\/m\/552450\" rel=\"noopener\">IEEE vTools event listing<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"section-note\">Page updated <time datetime=\"2026-10-01\">October 1, 2026<\/time>.
