Recently, many companies have been interested in the cloud computing as a new IT service. They have believed that the technology enables them to save cost and enhance productivity. However, because of the management and operational problems of the technology, they hesitate to adopt the technology into their businesses rapidly. The developed countries in the IT field, such as USA, UK, and Japan, have deployed various policies to promote the use of the cloud computing in their countries. The Korean Government also has started investing a lot of resources to make the technology used widely. This study examines the current status of the Korean Government's technology policies for the cloud computing by using three analysis frameworks, which can be used to identify the government's roles in government-leading technology initiatives. The results show that the Korean Government's current policies have focused on service providers, not service consumers, and focused on public sectors, not private sectors. The unbalanced policies might interfere with the rapid and massive adoption of the cloud computing.

In October 2016, the NFSA (National Financial Supervisory Authorities) revised the network separation clause of the Regulation on Supervision of Electronic Financial Activities in order to promote the Cloud Computing implementation in the financial sectors. The new regulation, however, limits the Cloud Computing usage to non-critical information and its processing system. Financial institutions that provide customer data analysis and personalized services based on personal data regard current revision as unchanged as before. The implementation of Cloud Computing has greatly contributed to cost reduction, business innovation and is an essential requirement in ever-changing information communication technology environment. To guarantee both security and reliability of the implementation of the Cloud Computing in financial sectors, a considerable amount of research and debate needs to be done. This paper examines current Cloud Computing policies in the Korean financial sector and the challenges associated with it. Finally, the paper identifies policy suggestions based on both European Union and United States' approach as they have successfully introduced Cloud Computing Services for their financial sectors.

Cloud-computing is in the limelight with expectation for cost reduction, because it alleviates the burden of initial investment and maintenance cost and based on pay-as-you-use billing policy. However, many suppliers of Cloud-computing service are suggesting diverse and complicated billing policies without consideration for setting reasonable service billing policy and definite criteria of properties to determine service billing system. So companies willing to use Cloud-computing service are hard to understand the billing system and often spend more expensive cost than necessary. Therefore, this study invested billing system properties of four representative suppliers. Based on these properties of billing system, this study found priorities using AHP survey which conducted to experts who are able to make decisions for adopting Cloud-computing in the company using or willing to use Cloud-computing service. We expect that this study can suggest basic guideline for comparing and analyzing properties of Cloud-computing service with standardized and objective method.

Recently, as the clouding computing begins to receive a great attention from people all over the world, it became the most popular buzz word in recent IT magazines or journal and heard it in many different services or different fields. However, a notion of the cloud service is defined vaguely compared to increasing attentions from others. Generally the cloud service could be understood as a specific service model base on the clouding computing, but the cloud, the cloud computing, the cloud computing service and cloud service, these four all terms are often used without any distinction of its notions and characteristics so that it's difficult to define the exact nature of the cloud service. To explore and analyze the cloud service systematically, an accurate conception and scope have to be preceded. Therefore this study is to firstly clarify its definition by Delpi method using expert group and then tries to provide the foundation needed to enable relative research such as establishing business model or value chain and policies for its activation to set off. For the Delpi, 16 experts participated in several surveys from different fields such industry, academy and research sector. As a result of the research, Characteristics of the Cloud Service are followings : Pay per use, Scalability, Internet centric Virtualization. And the scope as defined including Grid Computing, Utility Computing, Server Based Computing, Network Computing.

In Korea, "Act on the Development of Cloud Computing and Protection of its Users" has been enforced since September 28, 2015. Many countries implemented 'Cloud First' policies and global companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, IBM started cloud services in Korea. Under these circumstance, the Act was established for developing the cloud computing industry. The Act includes clauses for encouraging the use of private cloud computing by public organizations, supporting small- and medium-size cloud service providers, and utilizing secure cloud computing services by users. However, some terms appear to be similar but have different meanings from "Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc." and "Personal Information Protection Act". This generated some confusion and conflicts in relation to providing user information to a 3rd party and notifying the intrusion in the Cloud Computing Act. This paper discusses these issues and suggestions for revision of the Cloud Computing Act.

Cloud computing is internet-based computing technology. This is a form for exchanging service focused on the Internet. Because Cost is saved and use is easy there's a tendency that many companies are using. Cloud is in the form of a public cloud and private cloud and hybrid cloud. The service model is SaaS, PaaS, IaaS. Cloud computing use is simple but it has a security vulnerability. In particular, there is a vulnerability in virtualization and centralized information. In order to overcome this new security technology is to be developed. In particular, network security technology and authentication technology should be developed. Another way to overcome security responsibilities must be clearly and policies should be unified.

In this paper, we proposed the necessary government policies for the SME's informatization as the computing environment evolves towards cloud computing. We started with the review of the current SME's computing environment and limitations of current policies, and then addressed the new roles, visions, and missions of the government for the SME informatization. Based upon these arguments, we proposed the mid-term vision and designed the architecture for the cloud computing-based services for SMEs. The major contribution of this paper is to extend the enterprise-based informatization strategies to the context of the government policies so that the government can adopt our arguments as guidelines for the future policies.

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.

Cloud Computing offers flexible, on demand, ubiquitous resources for cloud users. Cloud users are provided computing resources in a virtualized environment. In order to meet the growing demands for computing resources, data centres contain a large number of physical machines accommodating multiple virtual machines. However, cloud data centres cannot utilize their computing resources to their total capacity. Several policies have been proposed for improving energy proficiency and computing resource utilization in cloud data centres. Virtual machine placement is an effective method involving efficient mapping of virtual machines to physical machines. However, the availability of many physical machines accommodating multiple virtual machines in a data centre has made the virtual machine placement problem a non deterministic polynomial time hard (NP hard) problem. Metaheuristic algorithms have been widely used to solve the NP hard problems of multiple and conflicting objectives, such as the virtual machine placement problem. In this context, we presented essential concepts regarding virtual machine placement and objective functions for optimizing different parameters. This paper provides a taxonomy of metaheuristic algorithms for the virtual machine placement method. It is followed by a review of prominent research of virtual machine placement methods using meta heuristic algorithms and comparing them. Finally, this paper provides a conclusion and future research directions in virtual machine placement of cloud computing.

In recent times, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Services) have been rapidly evolving to allow developers to easily and efficiently access work in the server and network areas for development of a web of App based on cloud computing. In this study, we developed the collaborative image editing tool App based on Cloud-computing, by adopting AWS of representative company that develops IaaS. First, it is crucial to understand various situation conditions for representative infrastructure services: AWS, Azure and Google (GCP). This may have the effect of reducing manpower and development time, but as each company has different policy and technical support, we need a new study every time the environment changes of infrastructure services. We tried to develop a hybrid-App so that users with various devices can collaborate work each other by utilizing the infrastructure service AWS through the process of developing the image editing authoring tool based on the cloud computing. The future studies should continue about compatibility issues and support issues in order to minimize the problems of overseas infrastructure services, but we think that domestic cloud computing policies and developments should be urgently considered.
