Reviews & Statements

Computer scientists examine a variety of issues and factors that may affect an organization considering using cloud computing. They cover cloud fundamentals and surveys, cloud adoption issues and cases, current cloud developments, proofs-of-concept and demonstrations, and security. The topics include the role of cloud computing adoption in global business, a conceptual model for cloud computing adoption by small and medium companies in Australia, insights from a multidisciplinary integration project on cloud services for healthcare, genome sequencing in the cloud, and an enterprise security framework for enterprise cloud data centers. The information might interest computer scientists, information scientists, and others working in cloud computing and managers of businesses.
