The accountability of cloud service which provides the cloud users with accountable services applies various technologies such as the compliance of service policy, monitoring and auditing, logging, and others. It ultimately intends to provide trustworthy cloud service by determining who is accountable for various problems happened during data processing and service offering. In this paper, we propose a cloud ecosystem formed from the chain of content and DRM Cloud service in order to offer secure and trust DRM cloud service when providing high value-added content service. Besides this, we analyse the requirements of cloud services for content owners and users and then propose some logging information to be recorded for trace of accountability and a structure of tool for monitoring.

Along with the growth of u-Healthcare, we propose a security enhancement based on network separation for CloudHIS with for handling healthcare information to cope with cyber attack. To protect against all security threats and to establish clear data security policies, we apply desktop computing servers to cloud computing services for CloudHIS. Use two PCs with a hypervisor architecture to apply physical network isolation and select the network using KVM switched controller. The other is a logical network separation using one PC with two OSs, but the network is divided through virtualization. Physical network separation is the physical connection of a PC to each network to block the access path from both the Internet and the business network. The proposed system is an independent desktop used to access an intranet or the Internet through server virtualization technology on a user's physical desktop computer. We can implement an adaptive solution to prevent hacking by configuring the CloudHIS, a cloud system that handles medical hospital information, through network separation for handling security enhancement.

While cloud services are expanding, many users are having difficulty in adopting cloud services. This is because there is no information as to which cloud services can be trusted by users. loud service level agreement (Cloud SLA) is an agreement between cloud service providers and cloud service consumers using qualitative and quantitative indicators including quality and performance, etc. of cloud services. In this study, we propose a framework for cloud SLA that can be applied to the domestic cloud industry to improve service levels for cloud service providers and to protect users and also derive the detailed components of cloud SLA applicable to the domestic cloud industry using the proposed framework. Through this result, it is expected that the government will utilize the policy to enhance the reliability between cloud service providers and users under "the Act on the Development of Cloud Computing and Protection of Users", and eventually to activate cloud services by improving the quality and performance level of domestic cloud services and building a user trust.

The possibility of successful commercialization of technologically innovative products depends on the degree to which consumers select and utilize the product. Therefore, the research that endeavors to find the usage behavior and the acceptance intention of users of technologically innovative products is a very important quest. This study empirically analyzes the factors that influence commercialization of a technologically innovative product: cloud computing. Existing studies examined acceptance intentions by expanding the TAM model and excluded attitude and usage behavior. This study determined attitude, usage behavior and personal characteristics of consumers to be important influencing factors. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows: First, the self-efficacy of personal characteristics had a significant effect on ease of use and acceptance intention and perceived costs had a significant influence on the factors of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Second, research on the systematic characteristics of cloud computing confirmed that security was an important factor affecting acceptance intention while innovativeness was critical to ease of use. Third, of the usage characteristics among users of technologically innovative products, perceived usefulness had an effect on the acceptance and usage behavior of cloud computing, and perceived ease of use had an important influence on perceived usefulness. Currently, when cloud computing services have not yet become widespread to the public, this study proposed meaningful results for policy direction and commercialization strategies by revealing variables that influence acceptance and usage behavior.

Cloud services are used for improving business. Moreover, customer relationship management(CRM) approaches use social networking as tools to enhance services to customers. However, most cloud systems do not support the semantic structures, and because of this, vital information from social network sites is still hard to process and use for business strategy. This paper proposes a collaboration framework based on social semantic web for cloud system. The proposed framework consists of components to support social semantic web to provide an efficient collaboration system for cloud consumers and service providers. The knowledge acquisition module extracts rules from data gathered by social agents and these rules are used for collaboration and business strategy. This paper showed the implementations of processing of social network site data in the proposed semantic model and pattern extraction which was used for the virtual grouping of cloud service providers for efficient collaboration.
