Cloud-based data storage has grown in popularity due to its flexibility and concerns about security confidentiality. In computer science, cloud computing is a relatively new concept. Users are using fewer resources while increasing their reliance on resources. Cloud computing, mobile wireless networks combined Mobile Computing (MCC). On the other hand, Mobiles provide vast computational consume...

The idea behind the word “Green Cloud Computing” is to minimize energy consumed by hardware that are used in process of Computing. It not only achieves efficient processing but also utilizes computing architecture and minimizes consumption. This concept going green ensures growth cloud future doesn't affect environment a big scale. There has been an enormous increase consumption data centres ot...

Cloud computing is appealing from management and efficiency perspectives, but brings risks both known and unknown. Well-known and hotly-debated information security risks, due to software vulnerabilities, insider attacks, and side-channels for example, may be only the “tip of the iceberg.” As diverse, independently developed cloud services share ever more fluidly and aggressively multiplexed ha...

Smart cities are high on the political agenda around the globe. However, planning smart cities and deploying applications dealing with the complex problems of the urban environment is a very challenging task that is difficult to be undertaken solely by the cities. We argue that the uptake of smart city strategies is facilitated, first, through the development of smart city application repositor...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems evolved from traditionally isolated applications such as payroll, billing, purchasing, sales, etc. – that neither shared a common base of data, nor interacted well with one another. The need for an integrated view of enterprise systems led to the development of sophisticated and complex software packages that could be tailored for different organizatio...

The development of mobile cloud computing has brought many benefits to mobile users as well as cloud service providers. However, mobile cloud computing is facing some challenges, especially security-related problems due to the growing number of cyberattacks which can cause serious losses. In this paper, we propose a dynamic framework together with advanced risk management strategies to minimize...

One of the main advantages of cloud computing is that it helps the users to save money: instead of buying a lot of computers to cover all their computations, the user can rent the computation time on the cloud to cover the rare peak spikes of computer need. From this viewpoint, it is important to find the optimal division between in-house and in-the-cloud computations. In this paper, we solve t...

Alice Hutchings, Russell G Smith & Lachlan James Foreword | Compared with large organisations, small businesses operate in a distinct and highly resource-constrained operating and technical environment. Their proprietors are often time poor, have minimal bargaining power and have limited financial, technical, legal and personnel resources. It is therefore unsurprising that cloud computing and i...

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm that allows users to conveniently access computing resources as pay-per-use services. Whereas cloud offerings such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud and Google Apps are rapidly gaining a large user base, enterprise software’s migration towards the cloud is still in its infancy. For software vendors the move towardscloud solutions implies profound changes ...
