Trade Off ◽

Analytics (discover and communication of patterns, with significance, in data) of Big Data (basically characterized by large structured and unstructured data volumes, from a variety of sources, at high velocity - i.e., real-time data capture, storage, and analysis), through the use of Cloud Computing (a model of network computing) is becoming the new “ABC” of information and communication technologies (ICTs), with important effects for the generation of new firms and for the restructuring of those ones already established. However, as this chapter argues, successful application of these new ABC technologies and tools depends on two interrelated policy aspects: 1) the use of a proper model which could help one to approach the structure and dynamics of the firm, and, 2) how the complex trade-off between information technology (IT) and communication technology (CT) costs is handled within, between and beyond firms, organizations and institutions.

The Industry 4.0 promotes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in manufacturing processes to obtain customized products satisfying demanding needs of new consumers. The Industry 4.0 approach transforms the traditional pyramid model of automation to a network model of interconnected services, combining operational technology (OT) with Information Technology (IT). This new model allows the creation of ecosystems enabling more flexible production processes through connecting systems and sharing data. In this context, cloud computing and big data are critical technologies for leveraging the approach. Thus, this paper analyzes cloud computing and big data under the lenses of two leading reference architectures for implementing Industry 4.0: 1) the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture (IIRA), and 2) the Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0 (RAMI 4.0). A main contribution of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of IIRA and RAMI 4.0, discussing needs, benefits, and challenges of applying cloud computing and big data in the Industry 4.0.

Current revolutions with respect to big data affect people's everyday life more and more. New ways of living, communication, and knowledge sharing have been created under the smart city umbrella. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are used to improve urban services. Examples are car sharing, energy consumption, adaptive traffic management, etc. A closer look at these services reveals that data, produced and consumed by people (or automatically by devices), are the cornerstone for working and reliable urban services. For this, large volumes of data with a great variety have to be processed at a high velocity which is commonly known as big data. This chapter designs a secure, distributed, and reliable cloud-based reference architecture that logically separates confidential data and distributes them to various databases in different clouds. It increases the reliability of the distributed data with high-availability mechanisms to protect data against various threads (e.g., hackers, terrorists, data collecting companies, etc.).

Current Scenario

Cloud based mobile learning (m-learning) is emerging as one of the most important branches of cloud computing, and is still in its infancy. These days, there are two emerging archetypes in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for learning. The first one is the anytime, anywhere, on-the-move, to be called the mobility archetype, and the second one is the cloud computing. Both archetypes are radically transforming the way we learn, communicate, access, and utilize information resources, and connect with peers and colleagues, thus affecting all aspects of education. This chapter delivers an introduction of the evolution of cloud based m-learning, benefits and characteristics of cloud based m-learning. It also canvasses the current scenario of m-learning utilizing the cloud, various challenges for implementing the m-learning system on the cloud. It further confers technologies used for cloud based m-learning. It also considers a brief look at methods for creating m-learning content and experiences, suggested by various researchers and concluded with the future aspects of the cloud based m-learning.

The City

The Smart City concept is being developed from a lot of different axes encompassing multiple areas of social and technical sciences. However, something that is common to all these approaches is the central role that the capacity of sharing information has. Hence, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are seen as key enablers for the transformation of urban regions into Smart Cities. Two of these technologies, namely Internet of Things and Big Data, have a predominant position among them. The capacity to “sense the city” and access all this information and provide added-value services based on knowledge derived from it are critical to achieving the Smart City vision. This paper reports on the specification and implementation of a software platform enabling the management and exposure of the large amount of information that is continuously generated by the IoT deployment in the city of Santander.

Set Up

Computerizing the country is a priority for the Italian government, which has set up the Digital Agenda for innovation driven by information and communication technologies to deliver smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, in adherence to European Union's policies. Cloud computing is one of the pillars of this strategic plan, since by accelerating the implementation of the Digital Agenda, it represents a chance for Italy to meet its increasingly crucial need for innovation and revitalization of competitiveness. Among the different solutions that Italian public administrations have been adopting, sustainable cloud computing frameworks have been chosen, with minimal management effort, for their contribution to smart working, and their capability of reconciling economic demands, environmental resilience, and social equity. This chapter aims to explore the ongoing change in the technological architecture for e-Government in Italian municipalities and the effects of the activation of sustainable cloud computing frameworks for this purpose, with particular emphasis on personnel's empowerment. On the basis of the benchmarking of the best practices, recommendations will be provided for an effective implementation of Google Apps as a sustainable cloud computing solution to foster staff's continuing professional and personal development in Italian municipalities.
