Many organizations have now adopted or begun to offer cloud computing. This type of computing has advantages and disadvantages that may vary from organization to organization.

Select two (2) organizations in which you are interested, and use the Internet and Strayer Library to research the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing for the selected organizations. Use the Internet to research the characteristics of organizations most likely to use cloud computing.

Write a three to four (3) page paper in which you:

1. Determine whether or not there are definite characteristics of organizations that are more likely to use cloud computing than other organizations. Provide a rationale for your response.
2. Examine the major advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing for the two (2) selected organizations. Recommend whether or not each of the selected companies should use cloud computing. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Determine whether or not government agencies such as the National Security Agency (NSA) or Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) would be good candidates for cloud computing. Provide a rationale for your response.
4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student”s name, the professor”s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze the types of organizational and computer architectures for integrating systems.
• Compare and contrast the types and role of distributed software architecture.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in enterprise architecture.
• Write clearly and concisely about Advanced Computer Architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

I need to create a research proposal in Cloud Computing in IEEE format . The given attachment based on Mr Rajkumar Buyya I need to select one topic and out it I need to form a proposal. Please find the reference for the topic and topic should be at least 3-5 research paper from IEEE or any other resource which should be a valid paper to put as a reference (Cite the key 3-5 sources (journal articles/conference papers/patents) you are basing your research on.).
Abstract Renders a summary of your proposal and therefore should introduce the topic, state what
was carried out, and outline the key points. It should be 150–200 words. References are not cited
in an abstract.
Contents table Enables the reader to easily find the information they require.
Introduction Should provide information on the background to the topic. This section must:
• present the general context of your question within the sphere of cloud computing;
• convey your research question and define the key terms; no need to go into specifics here;
• motivate the purpose of the literature review why is it important to research the chosen
topic?
• outline what the general findings of the review are this is where you can give the key element
of your argument; and,
• describe the structure of your document give the exact headings of each section and outline
the key argument points you will be making in each section.
This section should be 1-2 pages in length.
Literature review Must compare, contrast and relate to previous work, clearly identify the research
question(s), enumerate the objectives of the work, and specify the foreseen contributions. This
section must:
• introduce each section by outlining the key argument points that you will be covering;
• finish each section with a brief conclusion of what you have covered and then link to the next
section by outlining what you will be discussing next;
• ensure that each section heading exactly matches what the outlined contents in the introduction
and that the argument points also match;
• present a logical order of the reviewed sources;
• have descriptive section headings (not vague or too simplistic/general e.g. “cloud computing”);
• critically contrast at least two sources in each paragraph, as opposed to just ‘reciting’ what
the articles say. Every paragraph should explain the significance of the articles are in the
context of your own research question
• ensure there is consistent referral back to the research question do not be afraid to consistently
remind the reader why a point is relevant in the context of your own question; and,
• Make sure there are no extended sections where the sources are not mentioned all comments
and analyses should be in the context of discussing the sources.
Overall the literature survey should not consist of a series of paragraphs beginning, ‘Jones/Smith
argues….’. Focus upon concepts, issues, cases, with reference to authors, and then critically contrast
them, clearly highlighting advantages and shortcomings.
The literature review must finish identifying the research niche and the expected contribution of the research.
This section should be 6-8 pages in length and contain some 20 references, mostly using recent
academic articles from reputable journals and/or conferences
Research method and specification Must describe your proposed methodological approach to the
research as well as the expected/next research steps to bring your research project to completion.
This section must:
• provide a specification to describe the techniques analysis methods that will eventually underlie
the implementation (1-2 pages);
• furnish a complete analysis and design documentation in order to explain each of the major
design decisions and choices to be made. Consider using software engineering diagrams
to illustrate your proposed approach e.g. class and object diagrams, component diagrams,
deployment diagrams, CRC cards, activity diagrams, communication diagrams, state charts,
and/or sequence diagrams (4-5 pages); and,
• include a project plan which specifies the expected tasks to be carried out during the capstone
project semester. It should have a Gantt chart with the related dependencies (1page).
This section should be 6-8 pages in length.
