As the cloud services users' increase, there are important files created by individual in cloud storage. Thus, investigation of cloud artifact should be conducted. There are two methods of analyzing cloud service, one is that investigates cloud server provider (CSP), and another is that investigates client. In this paper, we presents an automated framework to detect the altered artifact and developes a tool that detects the cloud artifact. We also developed Cloud Artifact Tool that can investigate client computer. Cloud Artifact Tool provides feature of collection and analysis for the services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, NDrive, DaumCloud, Ucloud, LG Cloud, T Cloud and iCloud.

The cloud has already become the core infrastructure of information systems, and government institutions are rapidly migrating information systems to the cloud. Government institutions in several countries use private clouds in their closed networks. However, because of the advantages of public clouds over private clouds, the demand for public clouds is increasing, and government institutions are expected to gradually switch to public clouds. When all data from government institutions are managed in the public cloud, the biggest concern for government institutions is the leakage of confidential data. The public-private-partnership (PPP) cloud provides a solution to this problem. PPP cloud is a form participation in a public cloud infrastructure and the building of a closed network data center. The PPP cloud prevents confidential data leakage and leverages the benefits of the public cloud to build a cloud quickly and easily maintain the cloud. In this paper, based on the case of the PPP cloud applied to the Korean government, the concept, architecture, operation model, and contract method of the PPP cloud are presented.

Cloud computing has proven its efficiency, especially after the increasing number of cloud services offered by a wide range of cloud providers, from different domains. Despite, these cloud services are mostly heterogeneous. Consequently, and due to the rising interest of cloud consumers to adhere to a multi-cloud environment instead of being locked-in to one cloud provider, the need for semantically interconnecting different cloud services from different cloud providers is a crucial and important task to ensure. In addition, considerable research efforts proposed interoperability solutions leading to different representation models of cloud services. In this work, we present our solution to overcome this limitation, precisely in the IAAS service model. This solution is a framework permitting the semantic interoperability of different IAAS resources in a multi-cloud environment, in order to assist cloud consumers to retrieve the cloud resource that meets specific requirements.

Cloud amount calculation algorithm was developed using MTSAT-1R satellite data. The cloud amount is retrieved at 5 km ${\times}$ 5 km over the Korean Peninsula and adjacent sea area. The algorithm consists of three steps that are cloud detection, cloud type classification, and cloud amount calculation. At the first step, dynamic thresholds method was applied for detecting cloud pixels. For using objective thresholds in the algorithm, sensitivity test was performed for TBB and Albedo variation with temporal and spatial change. Detected cloud cover was classified into 3 cloud types (low-level cloud, cirrus or uncertain cloud, and cumulonimbus type high-level cloud) in second step. Finally, cloud amount was calculated by the integration method of the steradian angle of each cloud pixel over $3^{\circ}$ elevation. Calculated cloud amount was compared with measured cloud amount with eye at surface observatory for the validation. Bias, RMSE, and correlation coefficient were 0.4, 1.8, and 0.8, respectively. Validation results indicated that calculated cloud amount was a little higher than measured cloud amount but correlation was considerably high. Since calculated cloud amount has 5km ${\times}$ 5km resolution over Korean Peninsula and adjacent sea area, the satellite-driven cloud amount could show the possibility which overcomes the temporal and spatial limitation of measured cloud amount with eye at surface observatory.

The concept of Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB) has been introduced as a result of the expansion of the cloud-computing paradigm. Cloud services that provide similar functionality are registered with a CSB. A CSB intermediates cloud services between cloud users and providers. However, there are differences in the price and performance offered by each of the cloud providers. Thus, cloud users have difficulty in finding suitable services to use. Therefore, a CSB is required in order to provide an approach for cloud services to fulfill the requirements of cloud users. In this paper, we propose a virtual cloud bank architecture that includes both a Service Analysis Model (SAM) that can be used to specify and analyze various cloud services and a requirement analysis method that can be used to collect and analyze the cloud user requirements. The VCB architecture that is herein proposed can be used as a reference architecture to provide user-centric cloud services.

In this paper, we attempted to produce the cloud forecast that use the numerical weather prediction(NWP) MM5 for objective cloud forecast. We presented two methods for cloud forecast. One of them used total cloud mixing ratio registered to sum(synthesis) of cloud-water and cloud-ice grain mixing ratio those are variables related to cloud among NWP result data and the other method that used relative humidity. An experiment was carried out period from 23th to 24th July 2004. According to the sequence of comparing the derived cloud forecast data with the observed value, it was indicated that both of those have a practical use possibility as cloud forecast method. Specially in this Case study, cloud forecast method that use total cloud mixing ratio indicated good forecast availability to forecast of the low level clouds as well as middle and high level clouds.

Cloud computing services changed the way the data are managed across the healthcare system that can improve patient care. Currently, most healthcare organizations are using cloud-based applications and related services to deliver better healthcare facilities. But architecting a cloud-based healthcare system needs deep knowledge about the working nature of these services and the requirements of the healthcare environment. The success is based on the usage of appropriate cloud services in the architecture to manage the data flow across the healthcare system.Cloud service providers offer a wide variety of services to ingest, store and process healthcare data securely. The top three public cloud providers- Amazon, Google, and Microsoft offers advanced cloud services for the solution that the healthcare industry is looking for. This article proposes a framework that can effectively utilize cloud services to handle the data flow among the various stages of the healthcare infrastructure. The useful cloud services for ingesting, storing and analyzing the healthcare data for the proposed framework, from the top three cloud providers are listed in this work. Finally, a cloud-based healthcare architecture using Amazon Cloud Services is constructed for reference.

The 4th industrial revolution needs a fusion of artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and other technologies. For the fusion of technologies, cloud computing technology can provide flexible and high-performance computing resources so that cloud computing can be the foundation technology of new emerging services. The emerging services become a global-scale, and require much higher performance, availability, and reliability. Public cloud providers already provide global-scale services. However, their services, costs, performance, and policies are different. Enterprises/ developers to come out with a new inter-operable service are experiencing vendor lock-in problems. Therefore, multi-cloud technology that federatively resolves the limitations of single cloud providers is required. We propose a software platform, denoted as Cloud-Barista. Cloud-Barista is a multi-cloud service common platform for federating multiple clouds. It makes multiple cloud services as a single service. We explain the functional architecture of the proposed platform that consists of several frameworks, and then discuss the main design and implementation issues of each framework. To verify the feasibility of our proposal, we show a demonstration which is to create 18 virtual machines on several cloud providers, combine them as a single resource, and manage it.
