Cloud computing is a crucial driving force towards the information age. It has made the software and hardware connected to our networks available to people and industry with lower costs and better quality of service. Furthermore, because clouds share resources among users, which is referred to as multitenancy, they better utilize the infrastructure. This saves energy and materials, making cloud computing a green and sustainable technology. All these are critical; the alternative to cloud computing is buying, managing and maintaining large computer networks and their necessary infrastructure on premises, which entails a cost either beyond the capabilities of most small and medium sized Canadian companies or eventually transferrable to their customers, making them less competitive against international counterparts.At the software level, new technologies, such as Node.js, have been invented to exploit the distributed characteristics of the cloud. However, being new, they lack the maturity of more established technologies, and more importantly are incomplete in terms of utilizing the underlying hardware and developer-friendliness. We have completed preliminary research in this area through various innovations at the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) level of cloud computing using Java, including improving scalability, higher parallelization/threading support and hardware utilization. Based on these, we will investigate improving Node.js for cloud computing with scientific discipline particularly in the areas of scalability, cloud deployment, live-development support, hardware utilization and new language features.

云计算是向信息时代迈进的至关重要的驱动力。它使该软件和硬件连接到我们的网络可供人们和行业，其成本较低，服务质量更高。此外，由于云在用户之间共享资源，这被称为多胎，因此他们更好地利用了基础架构。这样可以节省能源和材料，从而使云计算成为绿色和可持续的技术。所有这些都是至关重要的；云计算的替代方案是购买，管理和维护大型计算机网络及其必要的基础架构，这需要超出大多数中小型加拿大公司的能力，或者最终将其转移到客户的竞争力，使其与国际上的竞争力较低，在软件级别上竞争不那么竞争。但是，新崭新的技术缺乏更具成熟技术的成熟度，更重要的是，在利用基本硬件和开发人员友好性方面，不完整。我们通过使用Java的平台服务（PAAS）云计算的各种创新完成了该领域的初步研究，包括提高可扩展性，更高的并行化/线程支持和硬件利用率。基于这些，我们将调查具有科学纪律的云计算的改进node.js，尤其是在可扩展性，云部署，实时开发支持，硬件利用率和新语言功能的领域。
