Cloud Technologies

The advancement of various computer technologies has led to the migration of traditional governance to e-governance that enables the citizens to access the government services through Internet. Although, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) act as backbone for e-governance in helping the government meet its citizens' needs through efficient service delivery, e-governance lacks the cross-agency communication as the e-services are offered by the government agencies independently. A better version of e-governance is c-governance (connected governance) in which the government agencies are connected and offer an integrated service to the citizens. Cloud is now a leading technology that enables collaboration across agencies and seamlessly integrated services. This chapter suggests the importance of adopting cloud technologies for c-governance and presents a discussion of the existing government clouds of Singapore and UK. A c-governance framework is also presented to illustrate how the cloud deployment and service models can be adopted for c-governance.

Purpose of the study.The aim of the study is to create a course on modern cloud technologies based on the openstack cloud virtualization platform.The popularity of the openstack platform makes it the main platform for building cloud technologies in many large Russian and international companies in various business areas.In the process of developing the course, the goal was to adhere to the principles of open education.Development of the course was motivated by the growing popularity of cloud technologies in most IT companies and demand for qualified specialists in this field.Materials and methods.Analytical reports in the field of modern trends in the development of cloud technologies, materials on current trends in hiring employees by industry, as well as official documentation on projects, used in the course are selected as the main materials for the study.During the development and implementation of the project, the following pedagogical techniques were used:acquisition of new knowledge based on pre-existing one;teamwork and demonstration of communication skills; making educational hypotheses to resolve problematic situations;planning to achieve the goal (getting results);private methods of students’ learning activities (detailing the tasks, initial conditions and the course of the study).Results.As a result of the study, the necessity of creating an educational course for students was substantiated, and a special course was developed for teaching the openstack cloud virtualization platform, which includes the necessary materials (presentations, lectures, seminars, as well as a platform and laboratory stands for students with access via the Internet).A special course web page was created where potential students have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the description and basic components of the course, send a request for participation, and also get access to the materials (after confirmation of the participant by the administrator).Every year, the developed materials, the platform and laboratory stands are updated due to the release of new versions of openstack, adding new functionality and updating business needs.Conclusion.In conclusion, a decision was formulated on the advisability of creating a special course for students and specialists. The developed course was tested in leading higher educational institutions of the country, and is a convenient tool for both students and companies, interested in qualified personnel in the field of cloud technologies.The special course was tested on students of the Faculties of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, the Faculty ofMechanics and Mathematics of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Innopolis University and Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics.According to the results of the special course, students were selected for internships and practical training, which confirmed the effectiveness of the developed course.

The education of researchers in Sweden is regulated by a nationwide reform implemented in 1969, which intended to limit doctoral programs to 4 years without diminishing quality. In an audit performed by the government in 1996, however, it was concluded that the reform had failed. Some 80% of the doctoral students admitted had dropped out, and only 1% finished their PhD degree within the stipulated 4 years. In an attempt to determine the causes of this situation, we singled out a social-science department at a major Swedish university and interviewed those doctoral students who had dropped out of the program. This department was found to be representative of the nationwide figures found in the audit. The students interviewed had all completed at least 50% of their PhD studies and had declared themselves as dropouts from this department. We conclude that the entire research education was characterized by a laissez-faire attitude where supervisors were nominated but abdicated. To correct this situation, we suggest that a learning alliance should be established between the supervisor and the student. At the core of the learning alliance is the notion of mutually forming a platform form which work can emerge in common collaboration. The learning alliance implies a contract for work, stating its goals, the tasks to reach these goals, and the interpersonal bonding needed to give force and endurance to the endeavor. Constant scrutiny of this contract and a mutual concern for the learning alliance alone can contribute to its strength.
