There are hordes of data-driven, context-aware, and people-centric applications and services for smarter environments such as smarter homes, governments, buildings, cities, and organizations. With the exponential growth of smart phones, there are service repositories and application stores in remote mobile clouds. Similarly, with the ceaseless advancements in the device ecosystem and in the IT field, government-specific applications will flourish and be deployed and maintained in special cloud stores, platforms, and infrastructures to be found, bound, and used by any input/output devices for a variety of everyday personal and professional purposes. Smart, sustainable, intuitive, and citizen-aware services can be dynamically created from the ground up as well as orchestrated or choreographed out of multiple atomic and discrete software services. Such composite services are directly fulfilling government activities. Thus, clouds emerge as the most common and minimum requirement for not only producing and stocking services but also for hosting application platforms. Further, clouds facilitate provisioning and renting out their configurable and customizable assets on demand. Through self-service portals, the cloud usage is to pick up fast in the days to unfold. In this chapter, the authors write about how cloud adoption is to ring in delectable transformations for worldwide governments as well as their citizens, that is, how governments can accomplish more with less, how people can experience high quality, technology-sponsored digital living, how the cloud idea becomes a centre of attraction for more ingenuity towards newer and nimbler service conceptualization, concretization, and delivery.

Solid Rocket

The three-times pulse composite perforating technology is a high quality technology which integrates the perforation and powder fracturing. The main principle is that the shaped charge and the fracture powder are ignited by detonating cord simultaneously. And the perforating jet is formed along the different phases, the high-pressure gas generated by the deflagration of the solid rocket propellant in the cracker fractures the stratum along the perforated hole [1], which can form high diversion channel and crack in the near wellbore area increasing the jet area. After the application of more than 1000 well fields, this technology has obvious effect of increasing production, which has certain reliability, security and low cost.

Small Positive Effect

This article examines the question whether journalism awards can serve as quality signals and increase the demand for quality journalism. Information asymmetries between suppliers (journalists) and consumers (reader, viewers, users) can lead to inefficiently low demand for high-quality journalistic products, since consumers are unable to verify the product’s quality before consumption (ex ante). This problem can be addressed by providing customers with quality signals. We test the hypothesis that journalism awards can serve as quality signals by analyzing the signaling power of the German Grimme Prize in the category ‘Information and Culture’. A quantitative difference-in-differences approach is used to discover differences in the audience development of 109 nominees and winners. Results show that winning the Grimme Prize has a small positive effect on audience reach with respect to the total audience. Nevertheless, no effect on broadcasts’ market shares is discernable. Considering different audience groups, winning the award particularly seems to attract those consumers who are expected to have lesser experience with journalistic broadcasts.

Using Data

Quality certification programs help consumers identify high-quality products or sellers in markets with information asymmetries. Using data from eBay UK's online marketplace, we study how certification's impact on demand varies with market- and seller-level attributes, exploiting variation in sellers' certification status within groups of near-identical listings. The positive effects of eBay's “top rated seller” certification are stronger for categories with few other certified sellers, in more competitive markets, and for sellers with shorter records of past performance. These findings indicate certification provides more value when certification is rare, the product space is crowded, and for sellers lacking established reputations. (JEL D12, D82, L15, L86)

Cloud computing is a technology that utilizes the internet services using a central server with the goal of maintaining a virtual nature of data and applications. The presence of cloud computing will obviously lead to changes in the workings of information technologysystems within an organization. This is because the concepts of cloud computing through virtualization, standardization and other fundamental features can reduce information technology costs, simplify the management of information technology services, andaccelerating service delivery. In general, cloud computing architecture consists of: (1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), (2) Platform as a Service (PaaS), and (3) Software as a Service (SaaS). Characteristics of cloud computing are: (1) self-service (on demand self service), (2) broadband access (broadband access network), (3) clustered resource (resource pooling), (4) elastic (rapid elasticity), and (5) measured service (measuredservice). While the advantages of cloud computing is: (1) without any initial investment, (2) convert CAPEX into OPEX, (3) flexible and easily developed, (4) focus on the business, rather than information technology, and (5) of control and responsibility of service. Withcloud computing consumers free themselves from the responsibility for managing the stack of computing resources. Levels ranging from SaaS when it is completely free, PaaS while still must make an application, and IaaS are still busy with the operating system. Thiscontrasts with On-Premise to take care of all your own.
