Theoretical frameworks and validation methods for cloud computing resource allocation
This paper is about theories and cloud computing. The changes occurring in technology pose a major challenge for organizations to adopt changes with their system to combat security and privacy issues. The information system of on organization is most sensitive operational element. It is also capable of preventing threats and intruder attacks. The changes in technology are not only adopted by organizations but the offenders also take advantage of newly devised techniques. The study addresses three major issues of the information security with an organizational paradigm. The first issue is to coup up with the changing requirements of information security as a change in technology.
¶ … relationship with application will be discussed; there are different types of research methods that researchers have elaborated. The role of hypothesis development along with validation of theory has also been discussed. The main aim of this part of the paper is to highlight the importance of theory construction and its validity along with application of these theories to cloud computing scenarios.
Cloud computing is also based on theoretical designs that are valid and applicable in real world. The first part of this paper highlights the basic design of cloud computing and how the end customers use it. It is also highlighted that vendors develop the cloud infrastructure based on services structure. This part will also explain how services model of cloud computing utilizes different theoretical basis of, experimentation, e-science, simulation theory and data captured through the experimentation process.
Introduction
This section describes the importance of valid criteria to compare the theoretical constructs. These criteria should be in form of a model to validate the comparison and its effectiveness. The differences between validation processes of each theory are also observed as being different. Since case study research is widely used in perspective of information technology theories, it is also observed that limitations to the wide se of this method may hinder effective application of IT tools.
Validation of research process as well as the main elements of research process such as sampling, data collection, and data analysis is also discussed in this part of the paper. It is observed in the discussion that increased reliance on qualitative techniques renders the research process more subjective. Inference and deduction of valid constructs remains an uphill task for the qualitative researchers. In this regard, Game theory has been proposed appropriate as it provides a model to test various scenarios.
3- Introduction
This section highlights the importance of research in theory development. In context of cloud computing, it is discussed that for allocating the resources optimally, there needs to a theoretical framework. To validate the theoretical position adopted by the practitioners, simulation experimentation has been termed as an appropriate and widely used approach. It is also explained in this part that technological changes in cloud computing has resulted in increased importance of ethical theories to understand the implications of these changes.
