Cloud computing evolved from earlier computing technologies and paradigms like client-server computing and service-oriented computing. It delivers scalable computing resources and services remotely via private, public, or hybrid clouds. Cloud computing components include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Service-oriented computing (SOC) provides a model for cloud computing by defining services that can be loosely connected across platforms and organizations. SOC and cloud computing have a reciprocal relationship where SOC provides computing as a service and cloud computing provides services for computing.

Dimensions Of Security Threats In Cloud
Computing: A Case Study
Mathew Nicho, University of Dubai, UAE
Mahmoud Hendy, University of Dubai, UAE
ABSTRACT
Even though cloud computing, as a model, is not new, organizations are increasingly
implementing it because of its large-scale computation and data storage, flexible scalability,
relative reliability, and cost economy of services. However, despite its rapid adoption in some
sectors and domains, it is evident from research and statistics, that security-related threats are the
most noticeable barrier to its widespread adoption. To investigate the reasons behind these
threats, the authors used available literature to identify and aggregate information about IS
security threats in cloud computing. Based on this information, the authors explored the
dimensions of the nature of threat by interviewing a cloud computing practitioner in an
organization that uses both the private and public cloud deployment models. From these findings,
the authors found that IS security threats in cloud computing must be defined at different levels;
namely, at the business and technical level, as well as from a generic and cloud-specific threat
perspective. Based on their findings, the authors developed the Cloud Computing Threat Matrix
(CCTM) which provides a two-dimensional definition of threat that enables cloud users to fully
comprehend the concerns so that they can make relevant decisions while availing cloud computing
services.

INTRODUCTION
ecause a cloud is a collection of inter-connected and virtualized computers (Buyya et al., 2008), the
main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. The basic concept of cloud is based
on the premise that instead of having selected information systems (IS) resources, such as software
and data stored locally on a user’s or organization’s computer systems, these resources can be stored on Internet
servers, called “clouds,” and accessed anytime, anywhere as a paid service on the Internet. Cloud computing has the
potential to bring significant benefits to small- and medium-sized businesses by reducing the costs of investment in
information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure because it enables the use of services, such as
computation, software, data access, and storage by end-users, without the need to know the physical location and
configuration of the system that delivers the services (Mujinga & Chipangura, 2011). However, it has been stated
that organizations adopt cloud computing projects and systems cautiously while maximizing benefits and
minimizing risks (Lawler, Joseph, & Howell-Barber, 2012). Cloud computing is expected to play .
Efficient and reliable hybrid cloud architecture for big databaseijccsa
The objective of our paper is to propose a Cloud computing framework which is feasible and necessary for
handling huge data. In our prototype system we considered national ID database structure of Bangladesh
which is prepared by election commission of Bangladesh. Using this database we propose an interactive
graphical user interface for Bangladeshi People Search (BDPS) that use a hybrid structure of cloud
computing handled by apache Hadoop where database is implemented by HiveQL. The infrastructure
divides into two parts: locally hosted cloud which is based on “Eucalyptus” and the remote cloud which is
implemented on well-known Amazon Web Service (AWS). Some common problems of Bangladesh aspect
which includes data traffic congestion, server time out and server down issue is also discussed.

Introduction
DO NOT USE MARKED THRU WORDS -Rapid advancements in modern technology have changed the digital landscape and increased the demand for secure internet and communication Technology and Cloud computing is one of them. Cloud computing has grown in popularity as a study and application field (Rashid, & Chaturvedi, 2019). A growing number of technology companies and manufacturing industries have started to implement cloud-based services or are planning to do so. Nonetheless, there are a few drawbacks to using public and or private cloud technologies. As a result, quite a few institutions are already using private cloud technologies. Day by day cloud computing is in growth as many organizations adopted cloud technology, but in parallel, several security issues are raised. Each organization chooses secure infrastructures when they move its data to remote locations. According to the NIST security, portability and interoperability are the major obstacles to the adoption of cloud computing.

Cloud Computing Security Policy
Purpose
The policy is centered on the best practices, as well as the approval process in making use of cloud computing services, particular in the support of sharing, processing, management, and storage of data in a non-profit organization based in Boston.
Scope
The policy covers all the employees working within the organization, including those working as volunteers in different parts of the country and those considered on-loan employees in the organization.
Policy Organization and Presentation
Cloud computing services are desirable in non-profiting making organization, given the convenience it brings in reducing the cost in acquiring new system. The organization is bound to benefit in taking most of its operations on the cloud, through entering into a contract with some of renown companies in cloud computing. In the United States, companies such as Amazon, Google, and Apple have entered the cloud computing market (Haghighat, 2015). What is more, the acquisition of the cloud services is ideal, considering the cost of the services and the quality of the services provided to the companies opting to move to the cloud (Winkler 2011). Cloud services have been tailored in a way that they meet business needs and they have a capability to support a wide range of businesses and non-profit organization. In this sense, the adoption of the cloud services in operating a non-profit organization is centered services that will foster collaboration among the employees, enabling sharing of data and information, enhance project management, improve communication, as well as data analysis. An evaluation of the companies that have embraced cloud services reveals that the cloud services are generally easier to use. With the increased use of the internet in last ten years, the accessibility of the cloud services using internet connection has made it desirable for the organization to consider cloud services. In this sense, the non-profit organization employees are able to access some of the important data using different platforms such as personal computers, smartphones, workstations, and tablets (Haghighat, 2015).
Cloud Computing Definitions & Concepts
Considering organizations have moved to the cloud computing platforms in storing of private data, choosing a computing model that is compliant to the legislation is essential. To do this, it is relevant to understand computing models that are in line with objectives of the organization. Software-as-a-service (SaaS)
The model encompasses pre-installed software, which was created to match the needs of the customers who have chosen to manage their applications and infra ...
Agent based Aggregation of Cloud Services- A Research Agendaidescitation
-Cloud computing has come to the forefront as it
overcomes some of the issues in computing such as storage
space and processing power. It enables ubiquitous accessing
and processing of information without the need of excessive
computing facilities. In this work, we plan to brief some of the
issues in aggregating the cloud services, discovering futuristic
cloud service requests, develop a repository of the same and
propose an agent based Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning
system for cloud clients.
Web Services Based Information Retrieval Agent System for Cloud ComputingEditor IJCATR
Cloud computing is Internet based system development in which large scalable computing resources are provided “as a
service” over the Internet to users and has attracted more and more attention from industry and research community. However, the
concept of cloud computing does not provide facilities for the knowledge discovery and information retrieval; i.e. clouds need to be
intelligent and autonomous. On the other hand, Web Service plays important role in Service Oriented Computing (SOC) in cloud
environment. Retrieving desired specific information from Web Services on cloud environment cannot be done by single Web Service.
So, there should be a possibility to combine existing services together in order to fulfil the request. To compose Web Services, Agents
can give great help. Therefore, this research mainly focus on providing a framework for retrieving information from Cloud using
composite Web Services by means of Multi-Agent System.
Now a days the work is being done by hiring the space and resources from the cloud providers in order to do work effectively and less costly. This paper describes the cloud, its challenges, evolution, attacks along with the approaches required to handle data on cloud. The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. The need of this review paper is to provide the awareness of the current emerging technology which saves the cost of users.

Security and Privacy Solutions in Cloud Computing at Openstack to Sustain Use...Zac Darcy
Cloud computing is an emerging model of service provision that has the advantage of minimizing costs
through sharing and storage of resources combined with a demand provisioning mechanism relying on
pay-per-use business model. Cloud computing features direct impact on information technology (IT)
budgeting but pose detrimental impacts on privacy and security mechanisms especially where sensitive
data is to be held offshore by third parties. Even though cloud computing environment promises new
benefits to organizations, it also presents its fair share of potential risks. It is considered as a double edge
sword considering the privacy and security standpoints. However, despite its potential to offer a low cost
security, customer organizations may increase the risks by storing their sensitive information in the cloud.
Therefore, this study focuses on privacy and security issues that pose a challenge in maintaining a level of
assurance that is sufficient enough to sustain confidence in potential users.
In this study, survey questions were sent to different non-profit and government organizations, which
assisted in collecting fundamental information. The data was acquired by conducting surveys in OpenStack
Company to identify the critical vulnerabilities in the cloud computing platform in order to provide the
recommended solutions.
So, analysis will be made on how the cloud’s characteristics such as the nature of the architecture,
attractiveness, as well as, vulnerability are tightly related to privacy and security issues. Privacy and
security are complex issues for which there is no standard and the relationship between them is necessarily
complicated. The study also highlight on the inherent challenge to data privacy because it typically results
in data to be presented in an encryption from the data owner. Thus, the study aimed at obtaining a common
goal to provide a comprehensive review of the existing security and privacy issues in cloud environments,
and identify and describe the most representative of the security and privacy attributes and present a
relationship among them.
Finally, in order to ensure that the standard measure of validity is achieved, validity test was conducted in
order to ensure that the study is free from errors. Various recommendations were provided. The study also
explored various areas that require future directions for each attribute, which comprise of multi-domain
policy integration and a secure service composition to design a comprehensive policy-based management
framework in the cloud environments.
Lastly, the recommendations will provide the potential for security and privacy approaches that can be
implemented to improve the cloud computing environment to ensure that a level of trust is achieved

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

which a single-processor system is used and the data processing is
totally centralized, followed by:
Procedure computing,
Client-server computing,
Object oriented computing,
Service oriented computing,
Resource oriented computing,
Today, the web has reached the cloud computing that provides almost
infinitely flexible and scalable external computing and processing
services.

3. Cloud Computing is the result of evolution and adoption of existing
technologies and paradigms.
Cloud computing delivers remote services with a user's data,
software and computation.
It is deployed as:
Private
Public
Hybrid
It is characterized by:
Scalability,
Elasticity,
Reliability
Availability
Virtualization.

Cloud Computing Components
4. SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
Single application, multi-tenancy, network-based, one-to-many
delivery of applications, all users have same access to features.
Examples: (word, PowerPoint)
Salesforce.com, Google Docs, Red Hat Network/RHEL

6. What is SOC?
SOC promises a world of cooperating services loosely connected,
creating dynamic business processes and agile applications that
span organizations and platforms (Georgakopoulos, 2008).
Without SOC, organizations found it almost impossible to reach the
cloud (Ramana, 2011).
One of the latest challenges is how to work with SOC in a cloud
computing environment (Wei et al., 2010).
Service-oriented computing and cloud computing have a reciprocal
relationship - one provides the computing of services, and the other
provides the services of computing (Wei & Blake, 2010).
Realizing SOC promise requires the design of Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA).

8. – A Marriage is Made in IT heaven: Cloud and SOA
(Medrano, 2012)
◦ Example: “Boeing is using service-oriented architecture (SOA)
principles behind a new PaaS platform, Called The Boeing
Edge. The system promises to reshape the way Boeing
connects with its customers in the airline business”, said Jim
Crabbe, senior product manager at Boeing.
8
9. According to Capgemini /HP common report (Mulholland et al., 2008)
there are five reasons to utilize SOA on the way to the cloud such as:
1. Accessibility: The cloud is accessible through a service interface,
2. Visibility: SOA tools and techniques can help an organization find
services that meet its needs,
3. Extensibility: Cloud services can be modified and customized using
SOA techniques,
4. Matching Expectations: Cloud services require clear matching
techniques in which SOA contract-management techniques are
useful,
5. Adherence to Standards: SOA policy management techniques
validate that an organization follows appropriate cloud standards.
9
10. Services still have some limitations regarding security, composition,
selection & discovery.
Web service composition is one of the most challenging problems of
recent years (Pejman, 2012).
Many researchers have proposed various techniques and employed it
for web service selection problem (Krithiga, 2012)
The security issues of Web Services in a distributed environment are
a major concern of web research (Sinha, 2010).
10
11. Cloud computing used SOA as an efficient architecture to be spread
all over the Web.
Limitations of service model are transferred to the cloud.
Weakness points in cloud computing are inherited from the adoption
of service model.
