This note presents a synthesis of '!CHAOS: a cloud of controls' proposal submitted to MIUR as Premiale 2012. The aim of this document is to underline the evolution of the !CHAOS project from a candidate of control systems (CS) for the SuperB accelerator to a prototype of Information Technology (IT) distributed infrastructure, to be dedicated not only to accelerators and large high energy physics (HEP) experiments, but also to the society as a whole and to the industries. In this framework, !CHAOS may potentially become an INFN product, a spinoff, a center of competencies coming from HEP. Participant laboratories, Institutions and companies have currently undergone several changes with respect to the present document and part of the choices here described have been modified due to the reduction of the budget, the large delay in the delivery of the support and the reduction of personnel since the proposal idea.
