Internet of Things (IoT) enables a homogeneous and seamless machine to machine (M2M) between any Internet-enabled devices in the real world. IoT provides global communications, access to services and information for the development of Smart Cities, environmental monitoring, bus tracking and parking. For this purpose, IoT requires scalability, extensibility, and integration of emerging resources in...
The trust anchors defined in the DNSSEC and SSL architecture make the governance of the Internet very rigidly aligned with the domain name registrars and the software vendors. The root certification authorities (root CAs) are defined ultimately and built into the software key stores of an end-user. However, the end-user is not given any criteria to distinguish the built-in root CAs so that he is unable...
The emergence of new technologies and services forces the network operator to manage uniformly and efficiently the complex network environment of Future Networks. The interworking of multiple underlying heterogeneous network domains with proprietary network management systems is currently a tedious task, and this fact will be exacerbated in the near future. To this end, we address the challenge of...
Recently personal information leakage and computer hacking occur constantly. The majority of the incidents are caused by the negligence of IT internal control. It is practically impossible to prevent all the security incidents caused by the insider. However, an Automated IT internal control system - considered about administrative, technical and physical internal control reinforcement for precaution...
This study aims to contribute to efficient cloud service deployment in Koreas public sector, and utilizes in-depth analysis of foreign cases including current practices the U.S, U.K, and EU, which have been aggressively driving public sector cloud service in recent years, as well as domestic cases unique to the Korean environment as the basis for comparing and drawing out differences and implications...
This paper follows the documents (texts, numbers) of a statistics system called IPLOS. IPLOS is intended to coordinate, control, standardize and stabilize municipal care services in Norway and generate statistical knowledge about the clients. We follow the production of IPLOS numbers, their movements through the interlocking organizations, and how IPLOS is understood, used, and interacts with service...
This paper presents findings on organizational agility as an aim of implementing Knowledge Management (KM). These findings are contextualized by examining the leadership roles and the tasks that achieve this goal. In particular we examine structures in KM: of the authority, of the development, and of the implementation of KM strategy that support agility. Using data from a global survey we find definition...
Prior studies suggest that clients need to actively govern knowledge transfer to vendor staff in offshore outsourcing. In this paper, we analyze longitudinal data from four software maintenance offshore outsourcing projects to explore why governance may be needed for knowledge transfer and how governance and the individual learning of vendor engineers interact over time. Our results suggest that self-control...
Today's telecommunication operators worldwide need to confront changes in both their business and operational environment. Such changes significantly affect the operators' daily life and quick adaptation is key for them to keep following competition and increase profitability.

The advantages and disadvantages of the present globalization situation and the measures set out in Literature to correct the disadvantages and to empower the advantages are studied. The main methods to find the best way to intervene in the world system with the purpose of improving the sustainability of the human style of life...
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm used by organizations to reduce costs and foster agility through reuse of assets and an increase of alignment between business and IT. To achieve these benefits, a governance model is vital to ensure that technical actions and decisions of IT departments are aligned to organizations' business goals and requirements. There are several proposals of SOA...
The governance issues of the innovation networks in services are less studied. The case study of Alibaba presents an example of how an innovation network in services is governed and how the governance provides the key resources for business model innovation. Alibaba establishes its innovation network by setting collaborative relationships with or acquisition of leading companies from different sectors...
Nanotechnology is emerging as a key, transformative technology of the 21st Century. With its great uncertainty, nanotechnology indicates potentially high risk. Drawing on the idea of “governance”, which stresses the participation of all stakeholders, this paper depicts the current nanotechnology development in mainland China from four aspects: governmental policy, academic community (natural sciences,...
The application of remote sensing to the social sciences is an emerging research area. People's behavior and values shape the environment in which they live. Similarly, values and behaviors are influenced by the environment. This study explores the relationship between features observable in overhead imagery and direct measurements of attitudes obtained through surveys. We focus on three topic areas:...
In this research, an index for observing organizational change in universities is proposed based on an investigation which the writer conducted, then some results of the investigation described.

The results suggest that there is a relationship between the style of governance of the university...
Future Internet (FI) constitutes a complex and dynamic environment, the requirements of which cannot be adrressed by traditional management schemes. The alternative is the approach of autonomic network and service management. In this context, the UniverSelf research project proposes a promising solution, called Unified Management Framework (UMF), which targets the unification of autonomic network...
In this paper we present the results of a case study at two offshore projects that recently adopted the agile way of working. We analyze their multi-site governance activities adopted and adjusted based on the Scrum methodology. Furthermore, we identify those changes that the Scrum adoption brought, in comparison with the previous governance structure of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). We find...
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design paradigm that enables applications to be built from business processes to support enterprise architecture. This architecture introduces information security challenges that are not comprehensively addressed by current best-practices. This paper evaluates if an Information Security Management System (ISMS), defined by the international standard ISO/IEC...
This paper describes and expands upon the proposed System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) Process Framework for the Air Force Materiel Command first outlined in IEEE SoSE 2011. Through repeated uses, it became quickly understood that systems-of-systems processes were foundationally similar to but different from basic systems engineering processes. The SoSE Process Framework, supporting processes, and...
