Analysis for Exploring Scope of Mobile Agents in Cloud Computing

Abstract: The Cloud Computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm which aims to provide reliable, customized, dynamic computing environments focused towards better quality of service and IT infrastructure availability without much financial burden. This paper, explores the cloud computing epitome from various aspects, reviews state of art implementations as well as its inherent challenges and explores the potential scope for research. This work also analyses the possibilities of amalgamating mobile agents in cloud computing, since both these technologies are promising and commercially useful thus the idea is to resolve challenges pertaining in cloud computing by harnessing mobile agent technology.

Quality within software developments: Research in the financial service sector

Abstract: This paper is based on research carried out through a series of five case studies within the financial service sector. The role of information technology within the financial service sector is introduced and the requirement for quality software developments established. The paper describes the contribution quality standards IS09001 & BS 5750 make towards establishing ' Best Practice' , and the software developments studied review the quality management, control and assurance mechanisms found within the casestudy organisations. From this work one organisation was selected for an in-depth study of quality issues throughout the software development lifecycle. An analysis of the type of software projects undertaken is made considering the software development lifecycle and project management mechanisms. A model introducing the quality control techniques on top of the development lifecycle is presented. The paper concludes with a summary of the research findings and identification of further work required in the area.
