“…This study concluded that the most common approaches for data encryption are based on RSA, indicating that most researchers of the cloud computing environment are interested in RSA encryption techniques. The revealing result of this study showed that the proposed approaches have a lack of validation in cloud computing, which needs to be addressed to improve confidence and trust [44].…”

Abstract-Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the organizations tickets to the global market. Thus, organizations can manage and coordinate all functions, processes, resources and data from different departments by a single software. However, many organizations consider the cost of traditional ERP is expensive and look for alternative affordable solutions within their budget. One of these alternative solutions is providing ERP over a software as a service (SaaS) model. A key feature of any SaaS system is the multi-tenancy architecture where multiple customers (tenants) share the system software. However, the SaaS developers accommodate each tenant's unique requirements by allowing tenant-level customization or configuration. While customization requires source code changes and in most cases a programming experience, the configuration process allows user to change many features within a pre-defined scope in an easy and controlled manner. Although literature provides many techniques to accomplish the configuration process in different SaaS systems, the nature and complexity of SaaS ERP are merely described in previous researches. Thus, this research is built on strong knowledge regarding the configuration in SaaS to define specifically the configuration borders in SaaS ERP and to design a configuration service with the consideration of the different configuration aspects.Index Terms-Configuration, software as a service, multi-tenancy, ERP.

“…In our view, any tenant-specific customizations, application layer or data layer, are cross-cutting concerns of a multi-tenant application, and thus should be modularized so that tenants are able to develop, deploy, and integrate to such customizations to the virtualized application with minimal additional programming and configuration efforts. In application layer, most concerns can be modularized by either intercepting filters [4], aspects [5,6], or contexts [8]. On the other hand, although it is generally agreed that the multi-tenant data layer is one of the most important concerns [7], there is little investigation on modularizing data layer concerns in a multi-tenant application.…”

Recently, Software as a Service (SaaS), a cloud-enabled business model, has received a lot of attention in the software industry. Among various facets of SaaS, the data layer design issues, such as schema customization and schema mapping, have been identified as one of the most important challenges for realizing economically scalable multi-tenant SaaS applications. In this paper, we propose an aspect-driven approach to deal with this challenge. After presenting the motivation and rationale of our work, we sketch the overall approach based on an example SaaS application.
