Cloud Computing is an emerging and innovative platform, which makes computing and storage available to the end-users as services. The cloud is a “blob” of unstructured resources that are classified into three domains: (a) applications (or software), (b) platform, and (c) infrastructure. The cloud is a merger of business and computing models, which makes it a very important scientific and busine...

Social media-based Social Networking Service (SNS) has grown dramatically over the last decade. Numerous users have strengthened their human networks by joining SNS. Although many service providers tend to develop SNS according to the needs of users, it is difficult to develop SNS based on large amounts of social media using traditional techniques with related to processing and transmitting it ...

The focus of this paper is to develop an architecture using cloud for e-governance. Cloud computing offers an easy means of achieving the application model of e-Governance with multi-tenancy. We can use public Internet as a type of communication medium and provide a framework, which can be used by every citizen in spite of his or her diversity & location. This model combines SaaS, PaaS, IaaS an...

Cloud computing is a method to enhance the capacity dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. It can be viewed as a cost effective solution to various security threats. It extends the existing capabilities of Electronics and Communication world and its ongoing capabilities. In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being ...

This article analyzed decision-making in terms of the adoption of public cloud computing and its determinants in the context of e-government. The authors proposed a theoretical model and related hypotheses after reviewing the literature and combining technology adoption theory with IT decisionmaking authority theory. Then, they collected samples from 227 public sectors and tested hypotheses usi...

Cloud computing is a new technology widely studied in recent years. Now there are many cloud platforms both in industry and in academic circle. How to understand and use these platforms is a big issue. A detailed comparison has been presented in this paper focused on the aspects such as the architecture, characteristics, application and so on. To know the differences between open source and clo...

Cloud computing refers to Internet based development and utilization of computer technology. It is a style of computing, in which dynamically scalable (and often virtualized) resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The concepts behind cloud computing incorporate Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), respectively. In to...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOAmay often need to ...
