Cloud computing, characterized by on demand availability of resources is gaining a lot of popularity in the present day business scenario. This new computing paradigm is predicted to revolutionize the Information Technology industry with its dynamic and scalable capabilities. Cloud computing is catering to the needs of a wide variety of users, across the different parts of the world with its huge number of offerings. Information technology resources are offered as services over the Internet, which leads to a number of technical and management concerns. Data is stored away from the users' premises, leading to various challenges in maintaining security, privacy and regulatory compliances. Therefore, cloud computing does not involve single discipline rather multi-discipline. Considering this multi-disciplinary involvement, current work focuses on identification of research issues in the cloud computing environment, and categorizing these issues in the technical, legal and management domains. Work further discusses the multi-disciplinary research areas where cloud computing is currently focused and suggests the potential areas for further research.
