Internalising Externalities for Improving Computing Architectures: Trust, Privacy, Regulation, and Intellectual Property Rights

Abstract

Internalising Externalities... (notably for Clouds) why cloud? - Nearly one third of organizations either already use or plan to use cloud or software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings to augment their core business intelligence (BI) functions, according to Gartner (Jan 2012). Clouds: "cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." NIST 25th Oct 2011.
