Major challenges in cloud computing are security and privacy because of its multi-tenancy nature and the subcontracting of infrastructures. Enterprises, government organizations and educational institutions are quickly accepting cloud services for their businesses. Cloud events need to be developed so that these organizations can be assured of security in their businesses and can choose an appr...

grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common computational platform. mobile computing is a generic word that introduces using of movable, handheld devices with wireless communication, for processing data. mobile computing focused on providing access to data, information, services and communications anywhere an...

In this study we designed the killer services for the scene of labor learning in ubiquitous computing. To achieve this study, we have explored the unmet needs of teachers in the scene of labor learning and examined whether the unmet needs could be served by the resources and capabilities of ubiquitous computing. Then, we have crafted a detail killer services for the scene of labor learning prop...

In world terms, Australia moved into the educational computing, both at the Higher Education and School levels, very early. This paper looks at how university subjects, and later how whole courses in computing evolved in Australia and how these had very little effect on the later use of computers in schools. We briefly examine how computers were first used in schools, and the influences that pu...

Student project work is a vital educational component of a Computer Science degree. We have enjoyed supervising student computing projects in six different universities around the world. We attempt to distill these experiences into a “formula” for the timepressured academic supervisor. We discuss project themes of recent interest to computing students and various strategies for managing portfol...

Cloud computing is a new technology in industry and academia.

Cloud technology enables users to use services and resources without being concerned about the technical implications of technology. T...

This paper focuses on the educational experience of teaching the topic of Urban Computing in a postgraduate design studio context. It also discusses some of the most interesting projects that students designed and prototyped while using design-oriented technology, ranging from wireless micro-electronics to data stream caching, and working in a real-life physical context of an existing urban env...

Cloud computing is one of the major current trends in IS. It is said to be able to increase work productivity and simultaneously lower costs in organizations. However, institutions of higher education, like universities, remain hesitant to adopt it. The ‘NSA scandal’ and similar revelations lead to a sharp decline in trust (especially in Europe) in commercial cloud computing providers like Drop...

In 1959 in Cuba, there was little knowledge regarding modern computing; the educational offerings at the university level were not enough and the diversity was low. Currently, this environment has changed completely obtaining levels over world average standards. Apart from the collaboration from abroad that the country has received, the domestic development has played a vital role since the 196...

The emergence of Web 2.0 triggered a general trend towards online social interactions and brought sociology in the global interactive picture. The emergence of Web 2.0 has brought about the opportunity to create new educational uses of Web 2.0 user centred software. Social software platforms, human networks, and human activities in Web 2.0 refer to a set of technologies for sharing information ...
