The cloud can facilitate users to have simple and easy maintenance, no capitalinvestment, provide infinite computing power and high volume of data storage for their application needs. In spite of these advantages of cloud some sensitive applications havevarious specific challenges, during cloud implementation, such as security, privacy, accountability, auditability, and transparency for their transferred/stored data in the cloud.
In this assignment you are required to select any one of the following application and present the challenges in implementing the application in cloud environment based on the referred research papers.
Each member in a team is required to refer at least 1 journal paper or 2 conference papers. Therefore, a team will have to refer at least 2 journal papers or 4 conference papers.
The list of applications is given below:
- Enterprise Resource Planning (any modules) application
To avoid repeated selection of same application among various teams - the selection will be restricted to number of teams in the class. There is no specific number - your lecture/tutor will advise you through Moodle announcement and/or in the tutorials.
Research Papers:
The referred conference research paper should be from IEEE, ACM digital library or from Google Scholar and the length of the paper should not be less than 6 pages. A journal paper can be from IEEE, ACM, Elsevier and Springer and the length of the paper should not be less than 10 pages. The aim of this assignment is to understand the challenges involved in implementing the cloud for certain applications. Therefore, all the referred paper should be relevant to the selected application. If you are not sure about the selected research papers, before preparing your presentation,consult with your lecture/tutor about the selected research papers and the relevant application.
Presentation:
Each team should present their work in the Week 11 during lecture time. Each presentation is expected to take between 15 to 20 minutes - this includes Q&A session at the end of your presentation. You will be stopped after 20 minutes, so please time your presentation accordingly so that you have allocated adequate time for your Q&A.
Your presentation should be presented as a collective effort, not a series of referred research papers presented by various team members. Check the criteria for assessment/marking guidelines below for the presentation - it is important is to get the all the referred materials relevant to the application and combine them coherentlyto satisfy the criteria for assessment.
