“…Overall, standards for acquiring, processing, and describing born‐digital materials have been relatively slow to develop, resulting in a high backlog of legacy media at collecting institutions. Processing legacy materials on different carriers can be challenging, due to a variety of technical factors, including: format obsolescence (Singh, ), hardware and/or software component failure (Rosenthal, Robertson, Lipkis, Reich, & Morabito, ), or the risk of alteration to original materials (Woods, Lee, & Garfinkel, ). Legacy media can also present challenges to traditional modes of archival processing, in which parallel arrangement and description of materials is encouraged to ensure archival integrity and provenance.…”

This article considers the problem of preserving research software within the wider realm of digital curation, academic research libraries, and the scholarly record. We conducted a pilot study to understand the ecosystem in which research software participates, and to identify significant characteristics that have high potential to support future scholarly practices. A set of topical curation dimensions were derived from the extant literature and applied to select cases of institutionally significant research software. This approach yields our main contribution, a curation model and decision framework for preserving research software as a scholarly object. The results of our study highlight the unique characteristics and challenges at play in building curation services in academic research libraries.

Cloud computing is one of the most smart technology in the era of computing as its capability to decrease the cost of data processing while increasing flexibility and scalability for computer processes. Security is one of the core concerns related to the cloud computing as it hinders the organizations to adopt this technology. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is one of the main services of cloud computing which uses virtualization to supply virtualized computing resources to its users through the internet. Virtual Machine Image is the key component in the cloud as it is used to run an instance. There are security issues related to the virtual machine image that need to be analysed as being an essential component related to the cloud computing. Some studies were conducted to provide countermeasure for the identify security threats. However, there is no study has attempted to synthesize security threats and corresponding vulnerabilities. In addition, these studies did not model and classified security threats to find their effect on the Virtual Machine Image. Therefore, this paper provides a threat modelling approach to identify threats that affect the virtual machine image. Furthermore, threat classification is carried out to each individual threat to find out their effects on the cloud computing. Potential attack was drawn to show how an adversary might exploit the weakness in the system to attack the Virtual Machine Image.

“…The limitations of working with such a small sample have been referenced several times in this article and these have been recognized by both the project team and project board. As a result, the second phase of Flashback is using a much larger sample and is considering objectives, which were not able to be fully addressed by the proof of concept, in particular, the treatment of disk images as objects within collections (Woods et al, 2011) and the deployment of solutions at scale. Flashback phase 2, which should be complete by the end of 2016, has three main strands.…”

This article introduces the British Library’s Flashback project, which is exploring the practical challenges of preserving digital content currently stored on physical media (magnetic and optical disks). It reports on a Flashback proof of concept that conducted experiments on a sample of content from hybrid collection items dating from between 1980 and 2000. It describes some of the activities undertaken by the proof-of-concept stage of the project from July 2015 to February 2016, including the initial collection profiling and sampling of content, the extraction of content from the disks, and the project team’s experiments with identifying and applying preservation approaches to the content, which included both emulation and migration. It concludes with some general observations on the approaches taken by the proof of concept and shares some recent findings from the second phase of the project, which is concerned with the practical challenges of developing an implementation strategy for the Library’s capture and preservation of digital content currently stored on physical media.
