Cloud computing represents a popular and frequent notion in media and scientific research. However, in post-transition countries, there remains a low offer of cloud computing solutions and users have not still accepted this concept besides its broad spectrum of benefits. This chapter examines the possible reasons why, despite high media attention, there are not many examples of using cloud-computing solutions by companies in post-transition countries, using Croatia as a case study. For that purpose, the survey among Croatian enterprises has been conducted regarding cloud-computing usage in business. Collected data is analyzed using knowledge discovery from databases aiming to define firms' readiness when using cloud-computing solutions. Results indicate that Croatian enterprises recognize the value of cloud computing as a software-as-a-service, but significant barriers are present in terms of slow recognition of its business value. Steps for overcoming this obstacle are proposed in the chapter.

The cloud computing has acquired a great deal of attraction, the possibility for minimizing over and under provisioningthrough enabling a flexible sharing resource and allocation is still large. In this article, a complete analysis towards development ofmigration method from on premise to cloud will be presented. First we define cloud computing that includes three service models;platform, infrastructure, and software as a service over a network connection. This work demonstrates the issues which the decisionmakers are facing in the case of evaluating the feasibility of the migration legacy system in organization into cloud computing.Furthermore, describes our technology toolkit, which has developed to support this process. The efficiency of the proposed technologytoolkit has being evaluated under testing as a case study that is exploring options to choosing deployment and cloud service models.

AbstrakTeknologi cloud computing pada era sekarang berkembang pesat. Penerapan teknologi cloud computing sudah merambah ke berbagai industri, mulai dari perusahaan besar hingga perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Perambahan cloud computing di perindustrian berupa implementasi ke dalam sistem ERP. Namun, penetrasi teknologi ini dalam lingkup perusahaan kecil dan menengah (UKM) masih belum sekuat perusahaan besar. Penerapan ERP berbasis cloud computing yang masih tergolong baru tentu memiliki keuntungan dan penghambat yang mempengaruhi kinerja perusahaan. Hal tersebut menjadi salah satu pertimbangan UKM masih enggan menggunakan teknologi ini. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis framework yang paling sesuai untuk UKM dalam menerapkan sistem ERP berbasis cloud computing. Framework yang dianalisa yaitu Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), dan Platform as as Service (PaaS). Ketiga framework ini akan dibandingkan menggunakan metode studi literatur. Tolak ukur yang menjadi acuan untuk perbandingan adalah Compatibility, Cost, Flexibility, Human Resource, Implementation, Maintenance, Security, dan Usability. Faktor-faktor tersebut akan diukur keuntungan dan penghambatnya jika diterapkan dalam SME. Hasil dari penilitian ini adalah Framework SaaS yang paling cocok untuk diterapkan pada perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Kata kunci— Cloud Computing, UKM, SaaS, IaaS, PaaS

Cloud computing telah menjadi hal yang menarik untuk dibahas dikarenakan perkembangannya yang begitu pesat sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan mulai tahun 2000. Pemanfaatan cloud computing kepada penyimpanan data, pemakaian software secara bersama- sama serta penggunaan infrastruktur dan hardware pada jaringan atau komputer yang tergabung dalam sebuah cloud computing. Dengan cloud computing diharapkan adanya efesiensi dan kemudahan dalam  sumber daya baik software, data maupun hardware agar dapat digunakan bersama – sama. Perancangan cloud computing untuk laboratorium komputer Teknik Elektro Universitas Bangka Belitung bertujuan sebagai rancangan awal untuk pengembangan laboratorium komputer serta sebagai pusat pembelajaran dan penelitian cloud computing bagi mahasiswa Teknik Elektro. Perancangan cloud computing ini menggunakan metode Software as a Service (SaaS) dimana SaaS adalah layanan dari Cloud Computing dimana memakai software (perangkat lunak) yang telah disediakan sehingga tidak perlu setiap komputer di laboratorium menginstall software yang diperlukan selama tersedia di layanan Cloud Computing. Rancangan cloud computing di laboratorium menggunakan Private Cloud Computing merupakan pemodelan Cloud Computing yang memberikan lingkup yang lebih kecil untuk dapat memberikan layanan kepada pengguna tertentu misalnya pada sebuah jaringan komputer  lokal maupun pada skala perusahaan kecil maupun menengah.

 Cloud computing is the buzz word in today’s Information Technology. It can be used in various fields like banking, health care and education. Some of its major advantages that is pay-per-use and scaling, can be profitably implemented in development of Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP. There are various challenges in implementing an ERP on the cloud. In this paper, we discuss some of them like ERP software architecture by considering a case study of a manufacturing company.

A light-emitting diode (LED) system covering plant-receptive wavebands from ultraviolet to far-red radiation (360 to 760 nm, “white” light spectrum) was investigated for greenhouse productions of Thymus vulgaris L. Biomass yields and amounts of terpenoids were examined, and the lights’ productivity and electrical efficiency were determined. All results were compared to two conventionally used light fixture types (high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS) and fluorescent lights (FL)) under naturally low irradiation conditions during fall and winter in Berlin, Germany. Under LED, development of Thymus vulgaris L. was highly accelerated resulting in distinct fresh yield increases per square meter by 43% and 82.4% compared to HPS and FL, respectively. Dry yields per square meter also increased by 43.1% and 88.6% under LED compared to the HPS and FL lighting systems. While composition of terpenoids remained unaffected, their quantity per gram of leaf dry matter significantly increased under LED and HPS as compared to FL. Further, the power consumption calculations revealed energy savings of 31.3% and 20.1% for LED and FL, respectively, compared to HPS. In conclusion, the implementation of a broad-spectrum LED system has tremendous potential for increasing quantity and quality of Thymus vulgaris L. during naturally insufficient light conditions while significantly reducing energy consumption.
