Інноваційні моделі навчання і підготовки кадрів для індустрії високих технологій в Україні
The problems of development of innovative learning environment of continuous education
and training of skilled personnel for high-tech industry are described. Aspects of organization of
ICT based learning environment of vocational and technical school on the basis of cloud computing
and outsourcing are revealed. The three-stage conceptual model for perspective education and
training of workers for high-tech industries is proposed. The model of cloud-based solution for
design of learning environment for vocational education and training of skilled workers is
introduced.У статті висвітлено проблеми розвитку інноваційного середовища навчання, неперервної освіти і підготовки кадрів для високотехнологічних галузей промисловості.

Запропонована триступенева концептуальна модель навчання та підготовки кадрів для високотехнологічних галузей виробництва. Обґрунтовано моделі хмарних рішень для проектування середовища навчання для професійної освіти і підготовки високо кваліфікованих робітникі
Decision Support Tools for Cloud Migration in the Enterprise
This paper describes two tools that aim to support decision making during the
migration of IT systems to the cloud. The first is a modeling tool that
produces cost estimates of using public IaaS clouds. The tool enables IT
architects to model their applications, data and infrastructure requirements in
addition to their computational resource usage patterns. The tool can be used
to compare the cost of different cloud providers, deployment options and usage
scenarios. The second tool is a spreadsheet that outlines the benefits and
risks of using IaaS clouds from an enterprise perspective; this tool provides a
starting point for risk assessment. Two case studies were used to evaluate the
tools. The tools were useful as they informed decision makers about the costs,
benefits and risks of using the cloud.Comment: To appear in IEEE CLOUD 201

Managing the outsourcing of information security processes: the 'cloud' solution
Information security processes and systems are relevant for any organization and involve medium-to-high investment; however, the current economic downturn is causing a dramatic reduction in spending on Information Technology (IT). Cloud computing (i.e., externalization of one or more IT services) might be a solution for organizations keen to maintain a good level of security. In this paper we discuss whether cloud computing is a valid alternative to in-house security processes and systems drawing on four mini-case studies of higher education institutions in New England, US. Our findings show that the organization’s IT spending capacity affects the choice to move to the cloud; however, the perceived security of the cloud and the perceived in-house capacity to provide high quality IT (and security) services moderate this relationship. Moreover, other variables such as (low) quality of technical support, relatively incomplete contracts, poor defined Service License Agreements (SLA), and ambiguities over data ownership affect the choice to outsource IT (and security) using the cloud. We suggest that, while cloud computing could be a useful means of IT outsourcing, there needs to be a number of changes and improvements to how the service is currently delivered
Systematizing Genome Privacy Research: A Privacy-Enhancing Technologies Perspective
Rapid advances in human genomics are enabling researchers to gain a better
understanding of the role of the genome in our health and well-being,
stimulating hope for more effective and cost efficient healthcare. However,
this also prompts a number of security and privacy concerns stemming from the
distinctive characteristics of genomic data. To address them, a new research
community has emerged and produced a large number of publications and
initiatives.
In this paper, we rely on a structured methodology to contextualize and
provide a critical analysis of the current knowledge on privacy-enhancing
technologies used for testing, storing, and sharing genomic data, using a
representative sample of the work published in the past decade. We identify and
discuss limitations, technical challenges, and issues faced by the community,
focusing in particular on those that are inherently tied to the nature of the
problem and are harder for the community alone to address. Finally, we report
on the importance and difficulty of the identified challenges based on an
online survey of genome data privacy expertsComment: To appear in the Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies
