Virtual Service Grids: Integrating IT with Business Processes

The alignment of information technology and business has shifted significantly since computing's mainframe era. The high costs of mainframe technology meant that only the largest organizations could afford it, and applications were relatively few. Business was expected to adapt to the technology. This all changed in the 1990s. Industry's widespread adoption of PCs, especially Intel x86-based systems, radically reduced computing costs. The benefits of IT spread to much smaller organizations worldwide, and a large market for hardware, software, and business services emerged. As system integrators began using components from diverse suppliers to build standards-based computers, system costs dropped two orders of magnitude from those of comparably powered mainframes. Many large deployments moved from mainframes to client-server distributed systems. The three-tier computing architecture came to dominate this era, and it introduced a separation between hardware and software. The authors describe how we got to this point and what direction we're headed in for the future.

Cloud Computing: IT as a Service

Cloud computing has been a dominant IT news topic over the past year, yet what it is and its industry impact—realized and potential—are only gradually becoming clear. To help demystify the matter, the authors presented a panel at the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS), held last September in Beijing. The panel, "Cloud Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges," featured presentations from three IT vendor giants—Microsoft, IBM, and Cisco—addressing industry perspectives and cloud computing initiatives. This installment of the Trends department distills the authors' panel session and provides updates in the year since it occurred.

Effective Change Management: Ensuring Alignment of IT and Business Functions

ABSTRACT

The objective of a financial audit is to detect any “material” misstatement in financial records and reports. On the surface, that objective seems to be unrelated to information security. The relationship between the two sets of activities may also seem to be insignificant. In fact, there is a significant relationship and one that is mutually beneficial. Entities that are subject to financial audits and employ best practices of information security should improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the financial audit. It is also possible that the financial audit of such an entity would uncover any existing relevant gaps in the entity's application of information security best practices which, when remediated, should improve the effectiveness of information security function.

IT服务组合可靠性分析方法研究与仿真

研究IT服务组合可靠性优化问题.单个IT服务资源的服务往往不能满足多任务需求,而多个IT服务组合中需要派生出新的服务项目,派生过程中存在较大的随机性和非线性.多个派生项目组成的动态组合中,一旦项目之间存在随机冲突,会影响动态可靠性评估综合模型的准确性.传统算法是采用单一的动态综合模型进行稳定性分析的,一旦派生的新的服务项目发生冲突,造成单一模型在叠加的过程中鲁棒性下降,降低了IT服务组合可靠性分析的准确率.提出了一种粗糙集分析决策模型的IT服务组合可靠性分析方法.根据服务属性特征分量计算属性权值系数,建立粗糙集分析决策模型,从而实现IT服务组合可靠性分析.仿真结果证明,采用的算法提高了分析的准确性,为可靠性服务提供了依据.
