Abstract: Open source cloud computing has gained an increased attention in current researches and practises. However, a common understanding and agreement on open source cloud computing is still missing. In addition, the propagation of literature makes it heavy to look over and determine state of the art and further to identify research challenges and weaknesses. In summary, a comprehensive overview of state of the art in researches and practises in the area of open source cloud computing in Malaysia is substantial. This study investigates research on open source cloud computing and aims at establishing a common understanding of terminology in this context. Further, it investigates which shared value and trust are currently applied in open source cloud computing. A systematic literature review is conducted in order to classify and define open source cloud computing, shared value and trust. In literature, shared value and trust often centers on specific open source cloud computing aspects. In addition, we identified trust and shared value as moderates in the area of open source cloud computing concepts. Based on the results, open research challenges and gaps are identified and discussed with respect to possible solutions. This survey provides a comprehensive review of current open source cloud computing practice and shows that shared value and trust in open source cloud computing is a challenging interdisciplinary research field that assembles research methods and principles from shared value and trust and open source cloud computing. We show that state of the art provides a rich set of methods but still several open research challenges remain.
