“…Whereas in the USA, the Office of Cyberinfrastructure of the National Science Foundation defines e-infrastructure as the "collective services and resources that are characterized by high computational power and other computing and information processing services available to advance the research communities" [9]. Despite the differences in the naming of e-infrastructure components, the core concepts are identical [10]. All definitions stress the availability of information and communication technology as a basic infrastructure.…”

The current access policies and funding schemes of computing e-infrastructures represent a huge challenge for the sustainable growth of computing e-infrastructures and a serious jeopardy for investments made into these e-infrastructures. In order to be able to address these issues, the economics of computing e-infrastructures has to be understood thoroughly. As a first step in this direction, this paper conducts a set of computing e-infrastructure case studies and discusses the economic issues of different global computing e-infrastructure efforts. The analyses results show that the major shortcomings that need to be resolved are the insufficient involvement of the private sector in the development of computing einfrastructures, the restricted user access to e-infrastructure resources, and the lack of sustainable funding. As a solution to these shortcomings, we propose a new funding and governing model for computing e-infrastructures. It follows a token-based market mechanism that allows a business-oriented operation of the computing e-infrastructure. We argue that this new model fosters the transition towards a sustainable computing einfrastructure, being another requirement for successfully implementing the cloud computing vision. Our arguments are supported by an analytical analysis.

Given the proliferation of mobile devices and the significant advancements in mobile technologies over the past few years, an important goal in mobile business is improving the productivity of field employees and executives through facilitating global remote access to their existing enterprise applications. While the research and industry efforts to develop mobile remote access systems is evident, a global acceptance of these systems has not been achieved yet. In this paper, we introduce a novel model and a candidate architecture that provides task oriented access to existing remote applications in order to provide the mobile users with the functionalities they need anywhere anytime. In this model, we propose a semiautomatic approach of generating a mobile devicebased user interface for application tasks that allows remote access to desktop applications without modifying them.

“…Consequently, accidental complexity arises due to conflicting values; security mechanisms usable to members of one sub-culture may be unusable to members of another. e-Science is concerned with global collaboration in key areas of science and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it (Hey and Fox, 2005). As e-Science grows to encompass the needs of culturally disparate stakeholders, so too will the impact of security on them.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to identify the key cultural concepts effecting security in multi-organisational systems and align these with design techniques and tools. Design/methodology/approach-A grounded theory model of security culture was derived from the related security culture literature and empirical data from an e-Science project. Influencing concepts were derived from these and aligned with recent work on techniques and tools for usable secure systems design. Findings-Roles and responsibility, sub-cultural norms and contexts, and different perceptions of requirements were found to be influencing concepts towards a culture of security. These concepts align with recent work on personas, environment models, and related tool support. Originality/value-This paper contributes a theoretically and empirically grounded model of security culture. This is also the first paper explicitly aligning key concepts of security culture to design techniques and tools.
