A framework for designing cloud forensic‑enabled services (CFeS)
Cloud computing is used by consumers to access cloud services. Malicious
actors exploit vulnerabilities of cloud services to attack consumers. The link
between these two assumptions is the cloud service. Although cloud forensics assists
in the direction of investigating and solving cloud-based cyber-crimes, in many
cases the design and implementation of cloud services falls back. Software designers
and engineers should focus their attention on the design and implementation of
cloud services that can be investigated in a forensic sound manner. This paper presents
a methodology that aims on assisting designers to design cloud forensic-enabled
services. The methodology supports the design of cloud services by implementing
a number of steps to make the services cloud forensic-enabled. It consists
of a set of cloud forensic constraints, a modelling language expressed through a
conceptual model and a process based on the concepts identified and presented in
the model. The main advantage of the proposed methodology is the correlation of
cloud services’ characteristics with the cloud investigation while providing software
engineers the ability to design and implement cloud forensic-enabled services via
the use of a set of predefined forensic related task
Identity is an Infinite Now: Being Instead of Becoming Gallina
Archaeological research on the Gallina (AD 1100–1300) inhabitants of the region west of the Rio Chama and centered on the Llaves valley has focused on constructing a culture history and examining functional characteristics of artifacts and architecture. Limited research has attempted to understand who the residents of the Gallina heartland were. In this article, using new findings and historical contexts, we argue that the Gallina people had a complicated identity forged around resistance and a deep connection to their past. To better understand them we need to move past previous binary categories used to describe them and perceive them not as isolated or connected, aggressors or victims, traditionalists or innovators, but as an intersectional mix of these axes of identity.La investigaciĂłn arqueolĂłgica sobre los habitantes Gallina (1100–1300 d. C.) de la regiĂłn oeste del RĂo Chama, focalizada en el valle de Llaves, se orientĂł en la construcciĂłn de una historia cultural y el análisis de las caracterĂsticas funcionales de los artefactos y la arquitectura. De hecho, han sido escasas las investigaciones que han intentado entender quiĂ©nes eran los residentes del Gallina. En este artĂculo, utilizando nuevos hallazgos y contextos histĂłricos, argumentamos que los grupos Gallina tuvieron una identidad compleja, forjada en torno a la resistencia y a una profunda conexiĂłn con su historia. Asimismo, para entenderlas necesitamos movernos más allá de las tradicionales categorĂas binarias usadas para interpretarlos y percibirlos como aislados o conectados, violentos o vĂctimas, tradicionalistas o inventores, y en cambio, como una mezcla que abarca todos estos ejes de identidad.Archaeology of the America
