Cloud Computing: Theory and Practice

Method Engineering: Theory and Practice

Method engineering promotes the idea of constructing methodologies for information systems development by selecting and assembling method fragments from a repository. This repository needs first to be populated with selfcontained fragments derived from industry best practice and compliant with a given metamodel. A situational method is then constructed (by a method engineer) to exactly match th...

Cloud Computing: Security Issues and Research Challenges

Cloud computing is an architecture for providing computing service via the internet on demand and pay per use access to a pool of shared resources namely networks, storage, servers, services and applications, without physically acquiring them. So it saves managing cost and time for organizations. Many industries, such as banking, healthcare and education are moving towards the cloud due to the ...

Cloud Security Engineering: Avoiding Security Threats the Right Way

Information security is a key challenge in the Cloud because the data will be virtualized across different host machines, hosted on the Web. Cloud provides a channel to the service or platform in which it operates. However, the owners of data will be worried because their data and software are not under their control. In addition, the data owner may not recognize where data is geographically lo...

Future Research in Systems Security

During its first year of operation, the SysSec network of excellence has created a roadmap for System Security Research. This short paper presents a summary of this Roadmap along with its expected impact on the European industry, the European Citizen, and Society in general. 1 Privacy: Give me back the Control of my Data! More and more personal information about an increasing number of users wi...
