Book Description
299 The Economics of Cloud Computing The Diffusion of Cloud Computing In a recent research based on the works of Etro and Colciago (2010) and Colciago and Rossi (2011) we have simulated the economic impact of the diffusion of cloud computing in Europe through the incentives to promote business creation. [...] This mechanism is going to be crucial in Europe because of the large presence of SMEs and of the higher risk aversion of the entrepreuners compared to their American counterparts (largely because of differences in the capital and credit markets and in the venture capital market): reduction of the fixed costs may reduce the risk of failure and promote entry even more. [...] Evaluating the Impact of Cloud Computing To evaluate the impact of cloud computing, we have adopted a macroeconomic approach empha- sizing the effects that this innovation has on the cost structure of the firms investing in ICT and consequently the incentives to create and expand new business, on the market structure and on the level of competition in their sectors, and ultimately on the induced e. [...] THE MACROECONOMIC IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING: WHAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE REDUCTION OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE? In this section we report the results of our simula- tion for the introduction and diffusion of cloud computing in the European economy. [...] We focus on the impact on GDP, business creation and employment (the role of the public sector will be considered in more detail in a subsequent section) in the short term, which is defined as a period of 302 The Economics of Cloud Computing one year since the beginning of the process of adoption of cloud computing (say in 2012), and in the medium term, that is after five years (say in 2016).

Book Description
Despite the buzz surrounding the cloud computing, only a small percentage of organizations have actually deployed this new style of IT—so far. If you're planning your long-term cloud strategy, this practical book provides insider knowledge and actionable real-world lessons regarding planning, design, operations, security, and application transformation. This book teaches business and technology managers how to transition their organization's traditional IT to cloud computing. Rather than yet another book trying to sell or convince readers on the benefits of clouds, this book provides guidance, lessons learned, and best practices on how to design, deploy, operate, and secure an enterprise cloud based on real-world experience. Author James Bond provides useful guidance and best-practice checklists based on his field experience with real customers and cloud providers. You'll view cloud services from the perspective of a consumer and as an owner/operator of an enterprise private or hybrid cloud, and learn valuable lessons from successful and less-than-successful organization use-case scenarios. This is the information every CIO needs in order to make the business and technical decisions to finally execute on their journey to cloud computing. Get updated trends and definitions in cloud computing, deployment models, and for building or buying cloud services Discover challenges in cloud operations and management not foreseen by early adopters Use real-world lessons to plan and build an enterprise private or hybrid cloud Learn how to assess, port, and migrate legacy applications to the cloud Identify security threats and vulnerabilities unique to the cloud Employ a cloud management system for your enterprise (private or multi-provider hybrid) cloud ecosystem Understand the challenges for becoming an IT service broker leveraging the power of the cloud

Book Description
Road accidents caused by impaired and distracted driving as well as traffic congestion are on the rise, with the numbers increasing dramatically every day. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim to improve the efficiency and safety of traveling by consolidating vehicle operations, managing vehicle traffic, and notifying drivers with alerts and safety messages in real time. Vehicular Cloud Computing for Traffic Management and Systems provides innovative research on the rapidly advancing applications of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. It also covers the need to fully utilize vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) resources to provide updated and dynamic information about the conditions of road traffic so that the number of road accidents can be minimized. Featuring research on topics such as identity management, computational architecture, and resource management, this book is ideally designed for urban planners, researchers, policy makers, graduate-level students, transportation engineers, and technology developers seeking current research on vehicle computational design, architecture, security, and privacy.
