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...

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...

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...

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 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,...

Successful business in the hotel industry, especially in large hotels and hotels that are part of international hotel chains, today relies on several essential components, such as digitization of business, the application of modern information technologies, the implementation of artificial...

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...

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...

The European cloud market is largely dominated by US providers, creating structural dependencies and posing risks to the confidentiality of European data. Conceived as a technical certification framework for cloud security, the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud Services...

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...

Without proper security mechanisms, medical records stored electronically can be accessed more easily than physical files. Patient health information is scattered throughout the hospital environment, including laboratories, pharmacies, and daily medical status reports. The electronic format of...

Recent empirical evidence finds positive associations between digitalisation and industry concentration. However, ICT may not be all alike. We investigate the effect of the purchase of cloud services on the long run size growth rate of French firms. Our findings suggest that cloud services...

The revolutionary impact of Cloud Computing (CC) technologies has been felt across multiple industries for an extended period. Although the construction industry is expanding over time, the role of innovation in construction is significant. However, not all stakeholders know about adopting and...

Cloud computing has become an emerging technology that offers services based on the pay-as-usage model. The cloud provides several advantages, but these advantages come with challenges, such as reducing Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations, efficient resource utilization, reducing energy...

The use of cloud computing by firms can be expected to go hand in hand with higher productivity, more innovations, and lower costs, and, therefore, should be positively related to export activities. Empirical evidence on the link between cloud computing and exports, however, is missing. This...
