today, information technology outsourcing (ito) has developed and caused organizations to become more flexible and dynamic than they were before. the ever-increasing development of ict is one of the main reasons for the promotion of outsourcing. that is due to the fact that many organizations are not able to adapt their hardware and software in accordance with the fast-paced technology developm...

investigations in recent decades have shown an unexpected increase in aerosol concentrations in metropolitan and industrialized regions. it was sometimes followed by heat islands and probably decreases in precipitation due to an inadvertent cloud overseeding process. particle pollutants act like small cloud condensation nuclei in which they form large collections of small droplets in cloud. col...

Since software systems play an important role in applications more than ever, the security has become one of the most important indicators of softwares.Cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. Presenting a proper scheduling method can lead to efficiency of resources by decreasing response time and costs. This rese...

Cloud computing is the latest technology that involves distributed computation over the Internet. It meets the needs of users through sharing resources and using virtual technology. The workflow user applications refer to a set of tasks to be processed within the cloud environment. Scheduling algorithms have a lot to do with the efficiency of cloud computing environments through selection of su...

weather predicts are influence in all aspects of life everyday. more importantly weather warnings are important forecasts because they are used to protect life and property. mesoscale numerical weather prediction models are key for weather forecasting, however the accuracy of the predictions are affected by the errors in the numerical models.study of the clouds is challenging and there are many...

. introduction not only have clouds and precipitation (snow, rain and hail) made up an important part of the subsystem atmospheric phenomena of terrestrial climate, but are also considered as the main components of the water cycle. aerosols play an important role in cloudiness and precipitation. in warm clouds with the same liquid water path, increase in aerosols concentration results in the re...

Traditionally, risk assessment consists of evaluating the probability of "feared events", corresponding to known threats and attacks, as well as these events' severity, corresponding to their impact on one or more stakeholders. Assessing risks of cloud-based processes is particularly difficult due to lack of historical data on attacks, which has prevented frequency-based identification...

With the innovation of cloud computing industry lots of services were provided based on different deployment criteria. Nowadays everyone tries to remain connected and demand maximum utilization of resources with minimum timeand effort. Thus, making it an important challenge in cloud computing for optimum utilization of resources. To overcome this issue, many techniques have been proposed ...

Nowadays, the great benefits of cloud computing have dramatically increased the number of e-banking users. Hence, the competition in the banking industry has boosted and managers need to evaluate their branches on a regular basis. To this end, this study aims to evaluate cloud-based banking systems based on the Quality of Service (QoS) attributes using the Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analy...
