Cloud Computing Services

Cloud Computing, a recent technology development presents a paradigm shift in computing, a move away from personal computers and enterprise server systems, to a cloud of computers located on the internet. Applications and resources are accessed from the cloud. The introduction of cloud computing services in Kenya by some telecommunication company like Safari Cloud from Safaricom Limited is an indicator that cloud computing technology is gaining ground and popularity locally. Technology adoption studies, which include Cloud computing adoption, have mainly been carried out in United State of America, Europe, Japan and Australia. No previous study has analyzed the acceptance and use of cloud computing services in a university setting in Kenya. In addition, no model has been advanced to explain the factors that influence acceptance and use of cloud services in the same setting. A conceptual model derived from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used as a guide in this study. Survey (n=217) and Focus Group Discussion (n=12) were used as data collection instruments in an attempt to understand cloud services adoption and use. The results of partial correlation showed that Performance Expectancy and Facilitating Condition were the two main factors that significantly influence cloud services acceptance and use in the universities in Kenya. The Focus Group Discussion results established that personal ego was a factor that prevented individuals from admitting that they were socially influenced towards adoption and use of cloud services. The findings will be useful to multiple stakeholders that include; academic researchers, technology adoption and perception researchers and cloud services providers and vendors.

The article analyses the possibility of how Cloud Computing can be used by libraries to organise activities online. In order to achieve a uniform understanding of the essence of technology SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, the article discusses the Cloud Computing services, which can be used for the relocation of libraries to the Internet. The improvement of the general activity of libraries in the digital age, the analysis of the international experience in the libraries are examples. Also the article discusses the results of a survey of the Lithuanian scientific community that confirms that 90% of the scientific community is in the interest of getting full access to e-publications online. It is concluded that the decrease in funding for libraries, Cloud Computing can be an economically beneficial step, expanding the library services and improving their quality.

In order to solve the trust problems between users and cloud computing service providers in cloud computing services, the existing trust evaluation technology and access control technology in the cloud computing service are analyzed. And the evaluation index of cloud computing is also analyzed. Users can calculate the relevant indicators of cloud computing service according to their own business goals, and choose the appropriate cloud computing services according to their own trust need. In addition, the reliability assessment method of users based on the service process is proposed. Cloud computing access control system can be used for user credibility evaluation, and it can handle user access requests according to user's creditability. In the study, a cloud computing service trust evaluation tool is designed, and the modeling and architecture designs of trust evaluation are also given. The effectiveness of the method is verified by experiments on cloud computing service evaluation methods.

Cloud computing services mature both economically and technologically and play a more and more extensive role in the domain of software and information systems engineering. SaaS offers advantage for both service providers and consumers. SaaS is faced with the question of appropriate techniques applying at early phase of Requirements engineering of producing system. The paper highlights two traditional methods namely i* and VORD belonging respectively to Goal oriented Requirements Engineering and Viewpoints approaches. The approach proposed try to dealing with the requirements elicitation in the context of Software-as-a-service SaaS. So, the approach benefits from strengths of both VORD and i* models and propose a combination of them in a new approach namely VORDi*.
