The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on adaption/monitoring, model driven architecture, network services, service oriented architecture, business process management, deployment/invocation, security, workflow as well as SLA/QoS.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Conference, ServiceWave 2010, held in Ghent, Belgium, in December 2010. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. They cover a broad range of subjects related to service-oriented architectures and the underlying cloud infrastructure and are organized in topical sections on cloud computing, service adaptation and identification, infrastructures, applications and mashups, and engineering of service-oriented applications. In addition to the scientific track, 24 extended abstracts of demonstrations covering a wide spectrum of technology and application domains were accepted out of 31 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of four workshops held in conjunction with the Third European Conference, ServiceWave 2010, held in Ghent, Belgium, in December 2010. The book includes 23 reviewed papers from four workshops that were selected from eight high-quality workshop session proposals. They represent diverse aspects of the theory and practice of service computing, ranging from service engineering to service infrastructures. The workshops are: First Workshop on Optimising Cloud Services (OCS 2010), International Workshop on Emergency Management through Service-Oriented Architectures (EMSOA 2010), First International Workshop on Service Modelling and Representation Techniques (SMART 2010), and From Event-Driven Business Process Management to Ubiquitous Complex Event Processing (EDBPM 2010).

This book, presented in three volumes, examines environmental disciplines in relation to major players in contemporary science: Big Data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Today, there is a real sense of urgency regarding the evolution of computer technology, the ever-increasing volume of data, threats to our climate and the sustainable development of our planet. As such, we need to reduce technology just as much as we need to bridge the global socio-economic gap between the North and South; between universal free access to data (open data) and free software (open source). In this book, we pay particular attention to certain environmental subjects, in order to enrich our understanding of cloud computing. These subjects are: erosion; urban air pollution and atmospheric pollution in Southeast Asia; melting permafrost (causing the accelerated release of soil organic carbon in the atmosphere); alert systems of environmental hazards (such as forest fires, prospective modeling of socio-spatial practices and land use); and web fountains of geographical data. Finally, this book asks the question: in order to find a pattern in the data, how do we move from a traditional computing model-based world to pure mathematical research? After thorough examination of this topic, we conclude that this goal is both transdisciplinary and achievable.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,5, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the expectations of targeted customer segments towards food-logistics-services for online grocery shopping. In recent years, the food retail sector in Germany entered the market with a new business model, which can be called "online-grocery-shopping". Unlike in other European countries, this business model is still at its beginning and encounters some challenges to develop and scoop its potential entirely. The research status mostly seems to consider just the trader, but little to no emphasis is on the transport service provider. Especially the processes of them must ensure that sensitive groceries are handled and delivered with maximum care until the goods reach the final customer. Also, the German population is a sophisticated customer base, due to their high expectations regarding quality and service. Furthermore, the younger people are represented by high internet affinity, and they count as one of the present and future purchasing powers. This thesis utilizes a questionnaire to study 18-35-year old people regarding their expectations towards the transportation of groceries to contribute to the development of this business model. An assessment by the participants helps to identify the essential expectations. Since Germans are tough customers, an ordinal logistic regression contributes to examine the identified expectations further. This reveals which properties of the customer, whether these are of demographic or fundamental nature, are affecting the expectations. Further, cross-pair comparisons of these properties are executed to crosscheck, how exactly is a property affecting an expectation. After this, based on the results, recommendations for action are stated as specific as possible to help the transport service provider compensate the identified expectations.

This is part of a series of country assessment reports for the transitional economies. The knowledge-based economy involves a number of different aspects including the growth of ICT, telecommunication and networking, as well as the wider socio-economic impacts.

Case Study from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: A, , course: School of Commerce and Management, language: English, abstract: This study aims to analyze the level of satisfaction of customer, their agreeableness towards e-banking services offered by Nepal SBI bank. With the growing trend of Information Communication Entertainment and Technology, it has embarked the way towards globalization. It is imperative to understand the degree of customer satisfaction towards the E-banking services provided by financial institutions in Nepal. However, the researcher has endeavored to measure and found that customer satisfaction is affected by the perceived ease of use, website contents and security of services. It is very obvious in today's context to be sensitive towards the security of transactions from being phising and hacking of customers data and information. Hence, an ethical hacker with IT Risk Officer having expertise knowledge, government support in IT Infrastructure, Cloud Computing Environment is a must for the need of an hour to create a level of trusts in banks.
