Abstract

Cloud computing implementation in libraries: A synergy for library services optimization

“…Cloud computing deployment is a process of establishing and bring into use, a system or an application. It is a preparedness that establishes a connection between vendor and client based on agreement to access whole or part of the cloud technologies via Internet and in line with needs and demand of the users (Kim et al, 2014). Basically, deployment model of cloud computing can be categorised into four, which are, private cloud, community cloud public cloud and hybrid cloud.…”

“…The vision could have been realised in no time but many librarians started considering themselves the only true experts both in bibliographic metadata creation and in service to information seekers, behaving condescendingly to others newer to the information enterprise, thereby halting the support that could have been earned from computing technology experts. Nowadays, library clientele are speaking with their keyboards or keypads, overwhelmingly preferring non-traditional and non-library sources of information and methods of information discovery (Zhang et al, 2014;Kim, Kim and Lee, 2014). Efforts to change library user interfaces are a belated attempt to catch up with services that users have already come to take for granted from other providers, such as the immediate access to full text and user determined ranking and clustering of retrievals.…”

Energy-Aware Cloud Computing Simulators: A State of the Art Survey

“…Table I provides a comparison of Cloud simulators based on common simulator features. Simulators should provide an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface that supports visual modeling [26]. Availability refers to a user's ability to access information or resources from a specific location and in the desired and correct format.…”

“…Moreover, as most of these simulators are themselves implemented using these programming languages (i.e., C++, Java, etc.) and support extensions to the simulator frameworks [26]. The platform features mentioned in Table I represent the implementation base of a simulator.…”

“…Cloud simulators are available for many operating system platforms as mentioned in Table I. The quantification of network-related parameters requires the support of communication and networking protocols (such as TCP/IP) and several simulators provide such support (as shown in Table I) [26]. The graphical output provided by the simulators is the only format results in a quick and easy understanding of the produced information as compared to the command line based [27].…”
