The research highlighted in this paper is based on the results obtained from a case study performed in different tier level data centres in Pakistan to test the validity, reliability and credibility of proposed green IT framework for implementing green energy efficient data centres. The results...

Increasing concern about energy consumption is leading to infrastructure that supports real-time, two-way communication between utilities and consumers, and allows software systems at both ends to control and manage power use. To manage communications to millions of endpoints in a secure,...

As a consequence of rapidly increased CO2 emissions, humanity is facing global warming. Electricity generation accounts for almost half of the emission; besides, conventional electrical production based on fossil fuel is becoming more and more expensive. One approach to significantly slow down...

Cloud software service is a modality for providing computer facilities and deploying software via the Internet. The concept combines Cloud Computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Cloud computing represents a contextual shift in how computers are provisioned and accessed....

The paradigm of cloud computing has started a new era of service computing. While there are many research efforts on developing enabling technologies for cloud computing, few focuses on how to strategically set price and capacity and what key components are leading to success in this emerging...

Along with the development of cloud computing technology, website owners begin to consider migrating their website from private in-house server to public cloud servers. In this paper, we use a principal-agent model to analyze the underlying economic trade-offs of such migration and then extend...

Research suggests the future of the Internet will be defined by ubiquitous computing: a networked environment in which smart objects, called 'Things,' are imbued with identification data and micro-processing power to form an Internet of Things (IoT). Data production across the Internet continues...

This paper provides an overview of the legal risks that arise from the use of private clouds arising from lawful interception, data protection obligations and legal professional privilege. The paper uses an Australian perspective to provide examples, but concludes that there are significant...

With advanced information technology, compare to the past operation, the significant difference is the companies no longer need to set up their own costly the large server, instead an external professional supplier "cloud computing" technology would be increasingly adopted nowadays. The main...

The Clouds have changed the way services are delivered to the company. Existing systems of Clouds do not support advanced mechanisms for the optimal trade applications across different Clouds. To improve resource management in the Cloud, we integrate the concept of auction Club, which regroups a...
