Abstract:
The current trend in Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is to enable support for new delivery models of software and applications. These endeavours impose requirements on the resources and services used, on the way applications are created and on the QoS characteristics of the applications and the supporting infrastructure. Scientific applications on the other hand require improved robustness and reliability of the supporting Grid infrastructures where resources appear and disappear constantly. Enabling business model like Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and guaranteeing reliability of Grid infrastructures are requirements that both business and scientific application nowadays impose. The convergence of existing approaches from SOC and Grid Computing is therefore an obvious need. In this work we give an overview of the state-of-the-art of the overlapping research done in the area of SOC and Grid computing with respect to meeting the requirements of the applications in these two areas. We show that the requirements of business applications that already exploit service-oriented architectures (SOA) and the scientific application utilizing Grid infrastructures overlap. Due to the limited extent of cooperation between the two research communities the research results are either overlapping or diverging in spite of the similarities in requirements. Notably, some of the techniques developed in each area are needed but still missing in the other area and vice versa. We argue therefore that in order to enable an enterprise-strength service-oriented infrastructure one needs to combine and leverage the existing Grid and Service middleware in terms of architectures and implementations. We call such an infrastructure the Business Grid. Based on the Business Grid vision we focus in this work on presenting how reliability and robustness of the Business Grid can be improved by employing approaches for flexibility of service compositions. An overview and assessment of these approaches are presented together with recommendations for use. Based on the assumption that Grid services are Web services, these approaches can be utilized to improve the reliability of the scientific applications thus drawing on the advantages flexible workflows provide. This way we improve the robustness of scientific applications by making them flexible and hence improve the features of business applications that employ Grid resources and Grid service compositions to realize the SaaS, IaaS etc. delivery models.

Abstract:
In a normal port operation, yard cranes are used to move containers from one location to another for import, export or relocation purposes. In order to locate the positions of containers, a database is set up in the office server to store the current locations of existing containers within the yard. Whenever the Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) crane operator moves a container around, the database has to be updated via a program installed in the Vehicle Mounted Terminal (VMT) fitted to the crane. This requires the establishment of a communication channel between the server and the crane VMT. The current practice is to make use of wireless networks, even though these are susceptible to attenuation and interferences in rugged surroundings as in a port. This paper describes and explores another alternative, that of using 2G/SMS for short messages and 3G networks for real-time scenarios. These methods are more reliable as major telecommunication service providers normally expend substantial resources in infrastructure development. They also provide a cheaper alternative in terms of reducing maintenance expenses.

Abstract:
L2 language learning is an activity that is becoming increasingly ubiquitous and learner-centric in order to support lifelong learning. Applications for learning are constrained by multiple technical and educational requirements and should support multiple platforms and multiple approaches to learning. This chapter investigates the possibility of applying ontology-based, dynamically generated learning objects implemented on a cloud computing infrastructure in order to satisfy these requirements. Previous work on using mobile learning objects is used as a starting point in an attempt to design a system that will preserve all of the advantages of utilizing learning objects, while eliminating any flaws and maximizing compatibility with existing systems. A model of a highly modular, flexible, multiplatform language learning system is presented along with some implementation remarks and advices for future implementation.

Abstract:
Cloud computing is changing the way corporate computing operates and forcing the rapid evolution of computing service delivery. It is being facilitated by numerous technological approaches and a variety of business models. Although utilizing the infrastructure of existing computing and networking technologies, different cloud service providers (CSPs) are able to unite their efforts and address a much broader business space. As a result, confusion has emerged and questions have risen from both Information Technology (IT) and business communities. How cloud environments differ from traditional models, and how these differences affect their adoption are of major importance. In this chapter, the authors first clarify misperceptions by introducing the new threats and challenges involved in cloud environments. Specifically, security issues and concerns will be depicted in three practical scenarios designed to illuminate the different security problems in each cloud deployment model. The chapter also further discusses how to assess and control the concerns and issues pertaining to the security and risk management implementations.

Abstract:
Cloud computing is modus operandi of manipulating server clusters hosted at secluded sites on Internet for storage, processing, and retrieval of data. It tenders suppleness, disaster recovery, competitiveness, and cutback in capital and operational cost for ventures, principally small and medium ones, which hold meager resource base. Virtualization at plinth of cloud computing sanctions utilizing physical hardware stratum to frame and administer virtualized infrastructure, storage areas, and network interfaces. Virtual machines, administered on clouds to seize inherent advantages of virtualization, are fabricated on storage area networks (Armbrust et al., 2009). But whenever user endeavors to access them from remote location it resulted in hundreds of megabytes of data reads and ensuing congestion in network. Question is how to instigate virtual machines and load their applications in minimal time. The ingenious Ceaseless Virtual Appliance Streaming system assures virtual machine's streaming just like video on demand. It trims down burden over existing resources and offers improved network utilization.

Abstract:
Effective human resources management is a key ingredient in building and sustaining a country’s land administration infrastructure. Whether it is building new systems or reforming existing ones, the recruitment, training, provision of support for, and evaluation of employees will ultimately be far more important than matters pertaining to technology and process. Yet traditionally, human resources management has not been given much serious attention in the land administration field. Within the broader public administration arena, however, the human resources management function is increasingly being recognized as a central organizational concern and that ‘its performance and delivery are integrated into line management; the aims shift from merely securing compliance to the more ambitious one of winning commitment. The employee resource, therefore, becomes worth investing in, and training and development thus assume a higher profile’ (Storey 1991). What distinguishes modern human resources management from the more traditional personnel functions is its focus on utilizing human resources to strategic management objectives. Effective human resources management seeks to: 1. link human resources management issues to the overall strategy of an organization; 2. build strong organizational cultures aimed at uniting employees through a shared set of goals and values (‘quality’, ‘service’, ‘innovation’, etc.) and by promoting a commonality of interests amongst employees and management; 3. recognize employees as a resource, as social capital that can be developed and can contribute to competitive advantage; 4. replace traditional top-down communication, coupled with controlled information flow, to a sharing of information and knowledge; and 5. achieve flexibility and adaptability to manage change and innovation in response to rapid changing circumstances (Burt and Spector 1985). This section examines briefly some of the principal human resources management issues, particularly as they relate to developing countries. The focus will be on concerns within the public sector (where most of the core land administration activity occurs), the broader issues of developing local capacity in both the public and private sectors, and the requirements for developing professional associations. Significant emphasis has been given in recent years to the challenges of building and sustaining institutions for capable public sector administration in the developing world.

Unscheduled maintenance events are especially costly and can generate costly ripple effects in other parts of the factory up and down the supply chain. The University of Michigan - Engineering Research Center (ERC) is currently working on a project with a major automotive manufacturer, whose objective is providing a factory-wide predictive diagnostics infrastructure by deploying an open-architecture event-driven software control system. The control architecture will link equipment data

Abstract:
In October 2017, the Coordinating Board of the US Committee on the Marine Transportation System tasked the MTS Resilience Integrated Action Team to identify the impacts, best practices, and lessons learned by federal agencies during the 2017 hurricane season. The RIAT studied the resiliency of the MTS by targeting its ability to prepare, respond, recover, and adapt to and from disruptions by turning to the collective knowledge of its members. Utilizing interagency data calls and a targeted workshop, the RIAT gauged the disruptive effect of the 2017 hurricane season and how Hurricanes Harvey, I
