10. Collaboration research Ideas
Portfolio
● Idea 1 – « Enterprise Architecture for Cloud
Transition »
● Idea 2 – « Interoperability of Clouds - issues for
a better Governance »

strategy and Business models for emergent
countries »

11. Idea 1 – « Enterprise Architecture for
Cloud Transition »
● Opportunities :
– There are no standards today for integrating all
heterogeneous components on the cloud. So unless
your business is completely served by cloud services,
you will have a hybrid solution – which will require EA
– Cloud computing adopted without taking into
consideration Enterprise Architecture will yield
“spaghetti clouds” (aligned with “spaghetti
architectures”)
● Research Questions :
– What EA facilities may offer for cloud-IT & in-house IT
hetereogeneous services governance ?
– How EA may enable cloud to impact Business
Strategies and help organisation change ? 11/15

12. Idea 2 – « Interoperability (i14y) of
Clouds - issues for a better
Governance »
● Opportunities :
– Cloud provider uses differents protocols,
virtualisation plaftorms, and administration
tools (hypervisors, trafic managers, etc.)
– Managing multi-provider platform implies beeing
able to manage execution and interoperation
among those différents clouds
● Research Questions :
– What will be different possible scenarii of
interoperation of clouds ?
– What will be new communication standards and
protocols of to be defined to achieve i14y ? 12/15

13. Idea 3 – « Service Oriented
Computing as leveraging for Cloud
Computing Transition »
● Opportunities (5 Reasons) :
A. Mulholland, R. Daniels, and T. Hall, 2008
– (i) accessibility through a SOA interface, (ii)
visibility through SOA discovery tools and
techniques, (iii) extensibility (customisation)
through SOA techniques, (iv) SLA control
through SOA contract-management
techniques, (v) and adherence to standards
through SOA policy management techniques
● Research Questions :
– Are SOA standard (security, asynchonous messaging,
reliability, transactions...) protocols & mechanimss
ready for managing properly in-house and coud 13/15
services ?
(CC) Prof. Karim Baïna, ENSIAS at « Les Journées Technologies du Cloud Computing », UCAM, Marrakesh, April 20 & 23, 2012

14. Idea 4 – « e-gov and cloud computing
- IT strategy and Business models for
emergent countries »
● Opportunities :
– Cloud computing capabilities will enhance collaboration and
mutualisation in e-gov systems
– Cloud computing applied to e-gov will impact processes,
technology and people in adminitrations IT organisations
● Research Questions :
– What are best & worst practices of adopting Cloud
Computing within national e-Government Strategy
(especially for local e-Government strategic roadmap)
– How to measure and manage data quality of of a public
information system (data integrity, data availability, data
loss protection, data security, data interoperability), 14/15
computing based context ?
