My intention is to analyze how, where and if grid computing technology is truly enabling a new way of doing science (so-called ‘e-science’). I will base my views on the experiences accumulated thus far in a number of scientific communities, which we have provided with the opportunity of using grid computing. I shall first define some basic terms and concepts and then discuss a number of specific cases in which the use of grid computing has actually made possible a new method for doing science. I will then present a case in which this did not result in a change in research methods. I will try to identify the reasons for these failures and analyze the future evolution of grid computing. I will conclude by introducing and commenting the concept of ‘cloud computing’, the approach offered and provided by major industrial actors (Google/IBM and Amazon being among the most important) and what impact this technology might have on the world of research.

Today is the era of Cloud Computing Technology in IT Industries. Cloud computing which is based on Internet has the most powerful architecture of computation. It reckons in of a compilation of integrated and networked hardware, software and internet infrastructure. It has various avails atop grid computing and other computing. In this paper, I have given a brief of evaluation of cloud computing by reviewing more than 30 articles on cloud computing. The outcome of this review signalizes the face of the IT industries before and after the cloud computing.

The next generation of scientific experiments and studies are being carried out by large collaborations of researchers distributed around the world engaged in analysis of huge collections of data generated by scientific instruments. Grid computing has emerged as an enabler for such collaborations as it aids communities in sharing resource to achieve common objective. This paper defines the problem of scheduling distributed data-intensive application on to Gird resource and presents a formal resource and application model for the problem.

Predicting the future for Agricultural Aviation is rendered even more uncertain than predictions for most forms of aviation because in this case the future depends on two entirely separate sets of unknowns. These are the normal unknowns affecting aeronautical development but, more important, there are the unknowns affecting the development of agricultural chemicals. Also, in predicting the future evolution of any activity one must normally look back over the rate and the trend of developments in the activity, so far as they are relevant, from the past and then project this rate and trend into the future, bending and extending the line of projection in accordance with known or foreseeable influences. Here again we get a third set of unknowns related to future farming techniques, although these unknowns are perhaps less significant because the main expansion in agricultural aviation will probably lie in the vast undeveloped regions of the world where the farming techniques will merely be brought up to present standards, or just introduced where there was literally no agriculture before.

For the last two decades, e-government has attracted government around the world to itself. Today almost every country in the world has developed and implemented e-government system in some form or another in order to reduce costs, improve services, save time and increase effectiveness and efficiency in a public sector. With increasing generalization of technology access by citizen and organizations, e-governments across the world face a major challenge in keeping a pace with ever changing technologies and offer an efficient, effective and transparent way of offering its services. Cloud computing is becoming an adoptable technology for many countries. The concept of cloud computing becomes important for each e-government, facilitating its way of work, increasing its productivity and all that leading to cost savings. It will likely have a significant impact on the e-governments in the future. In this paper, we analyzed cloud computing and its applications in the context of e-government.

Federation in cloud computing is an emerging topic. Currently, all over the world in both academia and industry contexts many operators are picking up the advantages of cloud computing and federation in planning the Internet of the future. Nevertheless, cloud federation is at the early stage, and the scientific community is not fully aware how the federation will impact the cloud computing scenario. In this chapter, the authors try to clarify the ideas and discuss the main future challenges regarding cloud federation.

This chapter examines how the World Wide Web could possibly change over the next 10 years into a concept increasingly being referred to as “Web 3.0,” and how these changes might affect education. It examines how Web 3.0 concepts such as cloud computing, the Semantic Web, and the three-dimensional (3-D) Web are currently being explored and realized. A possible future online learning scenario is also described and analyzed to help visualize these possibilities for education. The author hopes that providing an understanding of and insight into how the Internet and related technologies may continue to develop and evolve in the next several years will help educators be better prepared for the future of online learning.

Technological developments that are so very fast, require that every individual or institution follow suit. Like the use of clud computing, the usage is currently very wide. In the world of education, the use of cloud computing is very useful for teachers and students in terms of learning in class and outside the classroom. Application of Gafe stored in the cloud provides many choices of office, chat and other applications. This system will try to be implemented in Tangerang PGRI 2 SMK, which is currently still using a manual system. This system allows teachers and students to communicate with each other and interact with each other.

In the world of Digital Innovation “Cloud Computing” is not just a word or a technology but a paramount to the organizations now days. Because it is not easy to store, compute the data on an internet and central remote server to manage a huge bulk of data and information. It is well known that cloud computing provides data, storage of data, computation of data to the end user also by providing the services to the end users by the different applications. So, now the Fog Computing Is generally a concept to extend the cloud computing technology as it also does the same function which cloud computing functionality as well. It is not the replacement but the enhanced version of cloud which provides a security on the cloud environment by isolating user’s data which is saved on the Edge Devices. Fog Computing enables a user to save their data to nearby devices. In this paper the security issues also the technology which is used for security in this enhanced concept of cloud is mentioned.

In the Cloud-based IoT systems, the major issue is handling the data because IoT will deliver an abundance of data to the Cloud for computing. In this situation, the cloud servers will compute the big data and try to identify the relevant data and give decisions accordingly. In the world of big data, it is a herculean task to manage inflow, storage, and exploration of millions of data files and the volume of information coming from multiple systems. The growth of this information calls for good design principles so that it can leverage the different big data tools available in the market today. From the information consumption standpoint, business users are exploring new insights from the big data that can uncover potential business value. Data lake is a technology framework that helps to solve this big data challenge.
