The inability of small companies to compete with large production systems has led to the sharing resources in cloud production systems among smaller companies to compensate for their production deficiencies. This study proposes a multi-objective, multi-level cloud production system by minimizing...

The extraction of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) from open sources is a rapidly expanding defensive strategy that enhances the resilience of both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments against large-scale cyber-attacks. However, for most organizations,...

Cloud computing underpins digital transformation and is essential for unlocking the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and scalable digital services. Yet Europe continues to lag behind global peers in both cloud and AI adoption. This underperformance is not merely...

Este estudio explora los factores más influyentes en la satisfacción del consumidor en el próspero negocio de la cocina en la nube en Bangladesh, teniendo en cuenta las percepciones cambiantes y los avances tecnológicos. Hemos analizado cómo afectan a la satisfacción en el mercado...

The European Central Bank (ECB) acknowledges that the use of cloud services offers various benefits to supervised entities. Compared to internal information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, cloud services are cost efficient, scalable, secure due to providers using cutting-edge...

Fog computing introduces a new dimension to the network edge by pooling diverse resources (e.g., processing power, memory, and bandwidth). However, allocating resources from heterogeneous fog nodes often faces limited capacity. To overcome these limitations, integrating fog nodes with cloud...

The occurrence of sequential droughts and various forms of water shortages globally underscores the urgent need for sustainable water management solutions. In this context, cloud seeding has gained attention for its potential to enhance precipitation, yet its effectiveness is often uncertain due...

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face substantial barriers in accessing reliable and cost-effective IT infrastructure, primarily due to economic constraints and limited technical resources. Hybrid cloud computing solutions, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a...

Since the 1990s, large corporations and governments have been adopting the shared services model to reduce costs, improve the quality of services, and better manage organizational knowledge. The application of emerging digital technologies in shared services centers (SSCs) like blockchain, Cloud...

Cloud computing is the practice of using data storages, databases and networking to store data and run and deliver services over the internet. Edge computing slightly modifies the cloud computing paradigm to process client data at the periphery of the network (i.e. near the user) to reduce lag...

The eu-LISA Industry Roundtable 'Going to the cloud: why it matters for the EU public sector and how to make it work' was held in Antwerp, Belgium, and streamed online. The event, organised in collaboration with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU, spanned 2 full days from 11 to 12...

Cultural heritage plays an essential role in our societies. It fosters our identity, collective memory and connections across generations and across societies, while it offers opportunities for inclusion, participation and economic growth. Cultural heritage institutions are the facilitators for...

Quantum computing is a new paradigm that will revolutionize various areas of computing, especially cloud computing. Quantum computing, still in its infancy, is a costly technology that can operate in highly isolated environments because of its rapid response to environmental factors. This makes...

This study analyses the evolving landscape of digital risk management within the banking sector. Based on responses from a diverse group of Italian banks, the research sheds light on key trends and strategic priorities in risk management. By soliciting insights from professionals and...
