Information dispersal is a technique in which pieces of data are distributed among various nodes such that the data can be reconstituted from any threshold number of these pieces. Information dispersal algorithms employ a method in which a file F needs to be dispersed among n nodes such that any m pieces will be sufficient to reconstruct the whole file F. The size of each piece is |F/m|. We must also ensure that the complete knowledge of any m-1 pieces is insufficient to reconstruct the complete file F. The ideas for accomplishing this have been given in many literatures in the past. A discussion and comparison of some of these is covered in this chapter.

During the past seven years I have published several papers based upon preliminary investigations on the anatomy of the Holectypoida, an order of the Euechinoidea which, by general consent, is regarded as transitional between the Regular and Irregular sections of the class. Continued study, aided by increased mental and technical experience, has revealed an ever-increasing number of interesting features in the order, and has made possible more definite and confident surmises as to its affinities with other groups. The series of contributions here commenced is intended to amplify, and in some cases to correct, the statements made in my earlier papers. With very few exceptions the actual descriptions that are given in the former work still seem to be essentially correct, but every fresh examination, even of the same specimens, testifies to the incompleteness of most of the observations hitherto published. New material, better or differently preserved, often draws attention to features overlooked or discarded as unimportant in the examples already studied. No apology is needed for the publication of incomplete descriptions of natural objects, since complete knowledge is as yet nowhere attained. When inaccuracies of observation have been detected, their nature and cause will be stated frankly, accompanied, verbally or not, by suitable contrition.

Néhány éve vonult be a köztudatba a cloud computing fogalom, mely ma már a szakirodalomban és az informatikai alkalmazásokban is egyre nagyobb teret foglal el. Ez az új IT-technológia a számítási felhő számítástechnikai szolgáltatásaihoz kapcsolódó ERP-rendszerek szabványosítását, elterjedését eredményezi. A szerzők cikkükben áttekintést adnak a cloud computing mai helyzetéről és a számítási felhőben működő adatfeldolgozó rendszerekkel (kiemelten ERP) kapcsolatos felhasználói elvárásokról, illetve kezdeti, németországi alkalmazási tapasztalatokról. Külön tárgyalják az ERP-rendszerek új kiválasztási céljait és kritériumait, melyek a felhőkörnyezet speciális lehetőségei miatt alakultak ki. _____ The concept of ‘Cloud’ as an IT notion emerged in the past years and proliferated within the business and IT professional community. The concept of cloud gained awareness both in the professional and scientific literature and in the practice of IT/IS world. The cloud has a profound impact on the Business Information Systems, especially on ERP systems. Indirectly, the cloud leads to a massive standardization on ERP systems and their services. In this paper, the authors provide a literature overview about the current situation of Cloud Computing and the requirements established by end-users against the other data processing facilities and systems, outstandingly the ERP systems. The majority of investigated cases are based on samples from Germany. Furthermore, the initial experiences of application are discussed. Separately, the recent selection objectives and criteria for ERP systems are investigated that came into existence because the appearance of Cloud in the IT environment.

Cloud computing is one of the emerged technologies in the past decade. Tremendous growth is noticed in the usage and implementation of Cloud computing. Although cloud spectrum is widely popular still there are lot of challenges and issues to be addressed for its optimal usage. Vulnerabilities and threats to the cloud services leads to attacks and exploitation of resources as well as data breaches and privacy violations that need to be addressed at the cloud customer satisfaction level. This paper highlights different cloud security issues and their security requirements. The review aspects and findings of the paper can be used as a reference for further appropriate and effective implementation from the suggested practically viable cloud security solution in an independent manner or using as a hybrid technique.

The research goal is to investigate the evolution of the concept of utility computing in the works of foreign researchers in the years 1959-1966. First the A. O. Mann’s results and expanded overview of the D. F. Parkhill’s results on the concept of computer (information) utility were introduced in the domestic scientific circulation. Functionally identity of the computer utility and cloud computing concepts was proved, as well as refined the primary sources of cloud service models. There was proposed the interpretation of the “cloud technologies of learning” concept. Continuity of the development of cloud technologies over the past 55 years and their relationship with the development of ICT in general was concluded. The research results make it possible to determine the prospects of the development of cloud computing in general and cloud technologies of learning in particular.

The evolution of cloud computing over the past few years is potentially one of the major advances in the history of computing. Cloud computing theoretically provides all computing needs as services. Accordingly, a large number of cloud service providers exist and the number is constantly increasing. This presents a significant problem for a user to find a relevant service provider, and calls for developing a specialized search engine to help users select suitable services matching their needs. Towards this goal, we developed a search engine that crawls the web sites of various service providers, extracts service attributes from their JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files and normalizes the attributes in a service table. Those attributes are clustered using one of three different algorithms (K-means, K-medoids, and ISODATA). The requirements of a given user are then matched against the centroids of the various clusters to help obtain the closest match. In this paper, we compared the three algorithms with respect to time and accuracy. The ISODATA algorithm exhibited the best performance.
