Cloud computing technologies have the potential to increase innovation and economic growth considerably. But many users worry that data in the cloud can be accessed by others, thereby damaging the data owner. Consequently, they do not use cloud technologies up to the efficient level. I design an...

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...
