  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Using web services for image processing in a desktop widgets engine Author: Le, Hien Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to provide alternative interfaces to sites that expose their services via an API. This project aims to develop an image processing application where the key features are provided neither locally nor by a single host. The Yahoo! Widgets Engine is used to design a simple image processing interface where processing operations are mapped to widgets that can be connected together to create more complex operations. Actual data processing occurs remotely via calls to a REST-style Java web service to allow for a non-local and decentralized system.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Economic Analysis of Developing a Web Based Scheduling Platform as a New Business Opportunity Author: Bhella, Opinderjit, Elliot, John, Gilliland, Garrett, Ibarra, Maria M., Rahimi, Noshad, Runde, Neil Year: 2012 The principal objective of the project was to determine the viability of proposed business alternatives by leveraging appropriate economic analysis methods. To scope and outline assumptions, a section on background research was performed and documented. The numbers from this initial research was plugged into development costs, pricing and ongoing operation expenses. Four solutions were considered: two product designs using two different development models. A conservative minimum attractive rate of return was established and applied to the models. A detailed analysis was conducted and results showed at least one viable option. Due to the limited resources and time available, many assumptions will need further investigation.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Technology Strategies Author: Lu, Minh Year: 2012 The cloud computing market is predicted to be more than $241B in 2020 [1]. Many companies such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have entered this market segment with different approaches to provide cloud computing solution to customers. By analyzing Microsoft’s cloud computing technology strategy and comparing with competitors’ strategy using literature research and SWOT analysis, Microsoft’s strategy has more advantages to compete in this high velocity market. First, Microsoft’s strategy offers all three layers of services such as cloud platform, software as a service (SaaS), and attached services to different sizes of business clients and consumers. Moreover, the strategy provides a fully integrated solution from state of the art servers and efficient data center to user friendly and flexible programming environments to best software applications such as Office 365, Mesh, and Windows Live services. However, Microsoft’s strategy also has many disadvantages such as high cost and late to market. Microsoft needs to get over these obstacles and smoothly utilizes the advantages to become the major player in the cloud computing market in the future.

With decreasing storage and bandwidth prices, cloud computing is fast becoming the best option for cost reduction in data sharing and storage for businesses that want to reduce the cost associated with maintaining a fully staffed IT department. For companies not ready yet to take the full plunge in pure cloud computing there is the hybrid option which offers the benefits of the latter without completely switching over. Finally, there is still the on-premise option, which is available for business still learning about cloud computing and not ready yet to make changes. This paper will produce a cost reduction study based on three options, On-premise, Hybrid and Pure Cloud for SAIF corporation. The study will rely on engineering economics concepts to analyze each option and recommend the best alternative in the end.
