Although Cloud Computing Technologies “CCT” and their benefits have been recognized for decades, there are still fears at Egyptian Governmental Organizations “EGO” to migrate to them. The paper addresses developing & enhancing IT capabilities & business model at EGOs by adopting CCT from a national planning viewpoint. It starts by explaining Cloud Computing “CC” definition, concept, characteristics, types, models, benefits and challenges. Then introduces survey results as a guide model for EGO, as done in a previous study supervised by the author, surveying their awareness of CCT, standards, and factors impacting the migration. It contributed with a “Proposed Generic Cloud Computing Architectural Framework for EGO” to be adopted nationally. It concludes that adopting CCT has a positive impact on IT from a financial & Performance viewpoints that raise its IT capabilities.

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED WITH THE INFORMING SCIENCE INSTITUTE. Aim/Purpose................................................................................................................................................................................................. The main objective of the current study is to develop a business model for service providers of cloud computing which is designed based on circular economy principles and can ensure the sustainable consumption. Background Even though the demand for cloud computing technology is increasing day by day in all over the world, the current the linear economy principles are incapable to ensure society development needs. To consider the benefit of the society and the vendors at the same time, the principles of circular economy can address this issue. Methodology................................................................................................................................................................................................. An extensive literature review on consumption, sustainable consumption, circular economic, business model, and cloud computing were conducted. the proposed model of Osterwalder, Pigneur and Tucci (2005) is admitted designing the circular business model. Contribution................................................................................................................................................................................................. The proposed model of the study is the contribution of this study where provides the guidelines for the cloud computing service providers to achieve both their economic profits and the society’ needs. Findings Finding reveals that if the cloud computing service providers design their business model based on the “access” principle of circular economy, they can meet their economic profits and the society’ needs at a same time. Recommendations for Practitioners.............................................................................................................................................................. It is recommended to the startup and the existing businesses to utilize the proposed model of this study to reach a sustainable development. Recommendation for Researchers................................................................................................................................................................ It proposes a new circular business model and its linkages with community building. Impact on Society............................................................................................................................................................................................ The proposed model of the study provides guidelines to the cloud computing service providers to design a business model which is able not only to meet their economic profit, but also to meet the society’s and customers’ benefits. Future Research............................................................................................................................................................................................... Future researches can build on this research model which proposed in this study to examine the limitations of this model by using empirical researches.

In this paper, various variants of decomposition of tasks in a group of robots using cloud computing technologies are considered. The specifics of the field of application (teams of robots) and solved problems are taken into account. In the process of decomposition, the solution of one large problem is divided into a solution of a series of smaller, simpler problems. Three ways of decomposition based on linear distribution, swarm interaction and synthesis of solutions are proposed. The results of experimental verification of the developed decomposition algorithms are presented, the working capacity of methods for planning trajectories in the cloud is shown. The resulting solution is a component of the complex task of building effective teams of robots.

ZusammenfassungDie Gestaltung digitaler Geschäftsmodelle basiert auf dem disruptiven Potenzial von technologischen Innovationen, das in unterschiedlichen Branchen genutzt wird. Der Logistik kommt in Anbetracht ihrer essentiellen Querschnittfunktion sowie der Entstehung umfangreicher Daten durch den Einsatz verschiedener IT-Systeme für die Abwicklung von Frachttransporten eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Derzeitige Debatten werden mit Blick auf das Cloud-Computing sowie die Merkmale neu entstehender digitaler Plattformen geführt. Insbesondere für das Transportmanagement im Güterkraftverkehr entstehen datenbasierte as-a-Service Konzepte, die das tradierte Geschäftsmodell von Logistikdienstleistern sowie das Geschäftsfeld der Anbieter von Transportmanagementsystemen (TMS) attackieren. Auffällig ist, dass einer prozessorientierten Betrachtung der cloudbasierten Anwendungssysteme bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit entgegengebracht wurde. In diesem Beitrag soll ein vertieftes Verständnis für Fracht-Plattformen im Güterverkehr erzeugt werden. Anhand von Experteninterviews wird zunächst das Konzept Freight-Logistics-as-a-Service (FLaaS) für ein datengetriebenes Transportmanagement (DTM) entworfen. Im Anschluss werden auf Grundlage des Business Model Canvas die strategischen Betrachtungen der digitalen Plattformen um Aspekte der Geschäftsmodellentwicklung der Datendienstleister erweitert. Eine intelligente Nutzung des Datenpotentials zeigt sich insbesondere in der Verbesserung der Transparenz sowie der optimierten Auslastung der verfügbaren Transportressourcen. Durch das präsentierte Konzept FLaaS und das betrachtete cloudbasierte Geschäftsmodell werden abschließend strategische Handlungsmaßnahmen formuliert. Die Aspekte Datenkompetenz, Datenstrategie und Kollaboration sind für die Akteure von hoher Relevanz, um eine nachhaltige und wertschöpfende Gestaltung von datengetriebenen Transportketten zu erreichen.
