    Cloud Elearning: Transforming Education Through Cloud Technology: Preliminaries for Generation C
    (ACAD Conferences Ltd, 2012) Oberer, Birgit; Erkollar, Alptekin
    Cloud computing is a buzz word that is also spilling over into the education industry which enables access to software applications hardware data and computer processing power on the Web rather than installing software onto one's computer or server. For education it offers new possibilities to structure and perform learning processes. In this study the potential impact of cloud computing on education is analyzed showing what it means for educators and students as well as institutions and summarized under the heading 'Generation C' where C stands for cloud. The results of the study revealed that cloud computing can be used by educators institutions and individual students as well as by jurisdiction to support particular teaching and learning experiences and to organize software availability. Challenges for educators and institutions using cloud computing in teaching could be summarized under the following keywords: interoperability and transferability terms and conditions security and privacy issues backup and perpetuity denial of service and content issues. On a whole some implications of using cloud computing need to be kept in mind good understanding of the applications in use development of guidelines for use and migration strategies as well as the implementation of risk management could allow educators and institutions to take advantage of cloud computing in turn offering rich online learning experiences for students.

    Egovernment Cloud: Should Governments Move To the Cloud? Requirement Considerations
    (ACAD Conferences Ltd, 2012) Oberer, Birgit; Erkollar, Alptekin
    Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction using different deployment models such as 'software as a service' (SaaS) 'platform as a service' (PaaS) and 'infrastructure as a service' (IaaS) with public private community and hybrid clouds as deployment models. In general cloud computing can be defined by considering its characteristic attributes such as multi-tenancy scalability elasticity pay as you go and self provisioning of resources. Governments around the world are actively looking into cloud computing as a means of increasing efficiency and reducing cost. Apart from the potential benefits such as increased flexibility cost reduction elastic scalability and service quality that cloud computing could offer governments different concerns such as security performance availability ability to customise investment or regulatory requirements also have to be taken into consideration. In this study first the cloud computing attributes that are needed for government use such as governance legal requirements risk management outsourcing and security issues and the requirements for eGovernment applications that are used in clouds were analysed and second eGovernment use cases were analysed and categorised according to their fit to the cloud deployment models and then the GOV. Cloud Dashboard is introduced. The results of the study revealed that parameters such as security management by vendors security architecture user access and identity management are key success factors for clouds being used for governments. Apart from that government applications themselves have to fulfil special requirements to be included in clouds such as availability authenticity transparency and interoperability.

    National Electronic Government Strategies in Austria
    (ACAD Conferences Ltd, 2011) Oberer, Birgit; Erkollar, Alptekin
    One of the most emerging concepts of information technology is the one of electronic government. Electronic services that are made available by governments to citizens businesses and other governments (international) or governmental authorities (national) are general proof of the changes being made in the public sector. Intersecting the government citizen and business domain a business model can be defined considering the government-to-business government-to-citizen and government-to-government approaches. Governments around the world try to follow their most of the time ambitious strategies to become or stay competitive. In this study Austrian strategies and projects for electronic government as well as their implementation plans were analysed followed by an examination of the electronic services offered by the national governmental authorities in Austria one pioneer in electronic government in Europe leading in the European E-Government ranking 2010 and the declared 'European champion in eGovernment' for the fourth time in a row. The results revealed that Austria has developed hybrid electronic government strategies and has launched projects in that field in which national governmental authorities have to participate in order to offer electronic government services at a high level and in a competitive international environment. On a whole offering a one-stop shop gateway to governmental information and transactions generally offers higher attractiveness for conducting nationwide business and all incentives for electronic government focus on developing good practices in the area of efficient and effective electronic government. Nevertheless national strategies are transformed and implemented in different ways not always following the one-stop-shop approach and contributing to the development of isolated applications instead of integrated ones.
