Gaining the profits of cloud computing in a public authority environment
by Klaus Zaerens
International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (IJCSE), Vol. 7, No. 4, 2012

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss cloud computing in a public authority context. We define the key features and characteristics of the cloud in security centric environments such as the military environment. We address the most essential problems and obstacles to be considered before the benefits of cloud computing can be fully enabled therein. As a solution to problems with the adoption of cloud computing in public authority environments, we propose a new service model called knowledge management as a service, which also improves usability. The discussion and views presented in this paper can be adopted in any organisation with doubts concerning the sensitive and classified contents of current ICT systems in cloud computing.
