This paper aims to develop a research model to explain managers’ intentions to switch toward cloud based ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning). Indeed, as cloud computing is considered as a true revolution in Information Technologies field, ERP market is shaping toward more cloud based solutions. However, since cloud computing is presented as a risky alternative, cloud ERP adoption may faces reti...

[1] This work examines the efficacy of various physically based approaches derived from one-dimensional adiabatic parcel model frameworks (a numerical model and a simplified parameterization) to parameterize the cloud droplet distribution characteristics for computing cloud effective radius and autoconversion rate in regional/global atmospheric models. Evaluations are carried out for integratio...

Cloud technology is broadly supported by healthcare organizations worldwide. Throughout the previous few years, healthcare industries have recognized the potential of cloud computing architecture and how it can assistance them to give quality services to patients. The cloud technology has faster the way healthcare industry can use or share information crossways a network. This paper offering an...

This work examines the efficacy of various physically-based 3 approaches derived from 1-D adiabatic parcel model frameworks (a numer-4 ical model and a simplified parameterization) to parameterize the cloud droplet 5 distribution characteristics for computing cloud effective radius and auto-conversion rate in regional/global atmospheric models. Evaluations are car-7 ried out for integrations wi...

Cloud computing is seen as an increasingly important enabler for improving productivity, efficiency and cost reduction. This research aims to investigate the potential for value creation for Australian municipal governments by identifying factors that are perceived likely to influence the adoption of cloud computing. The research model is proposed based on two theories derived from the literatu...

In view of personal information leakage risk in the process of online payment, this study puts forward a cloud protection system which can improve personal information security. The system includes two modules: personal information security model and cloud service providers trust evaluation system. Among them, the personal information security model includes four layers design: the user, interf...

Cloud computing applications and services go hand in hand, yet there is no clear mechanism for ensuring that the cloud applications are designed from a customer’s perspective. Likewise services can require adaptation for multiple customers of stakeholders, which require differing user experience outcomes. This paper describes the initial design and development of a predictive analytics cloud se...

Surface observations show that multilayer clouds frequently occur in frontal areas where cirrus clouds overlie boundary layer convective clouds or stratus clouds. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for the retrieval of cirrus cloud optical depths and ice crystal sizes in multilayer cloud systems based on the theory of radiative transfer and parameterizations. For the validation of the ret...
