Research Ø a search for knowledge Ø as a scientific and systematic study Ø a search for pertinent information on a specific area. Ø is very narrow way that into in-depth Ø is desired towards the solution of a problem Ø emphasizes the development of generalization, principles, or theories that will be helpful in predicting future occurrences Ø is based on observable experience or empirical evidence Ø involves gathering new data from primary or first hand sources or using existing data for a new purpose. Ø requires expertise Ø is characterized by patient and unhurried activity Ø sometimes require courage
Need for research Ø The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of scientific procedures Ø The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not discovered as yet Ø To test a hypotheses of a casual relationship between variables
Types of Research (in general) Quantitative Research where the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of numbers. Qualitative Research – Which describes events, persons and so forth scientifically without utilizing numerical data.

Survey in Research Survey research is one of the most important areas of measurement in applied social research. The broad area of survey research encompasses any measurement procedures that involve asking questions of respondents. A "survey" can be anything form a short paper-andpencil feedback form to an intensive one-on-one indepth interview.
Types of Survey Questionnaires are usually paper-and-pencil instruments that the respondent completes. Closed-ended questions Interviews are completed by the interviewer based on the respondent says. Open-ended questions
Online Survey An online survey is a questionnaire that the target audience can complete over the Internet. Online surveys are usually created as Web forms with a database to store the answers in cloud storage and statistical software to provide analytics.
Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a new class of network based computing that takes place over the Internet. basically a step on from Utility Computing a collection/group of integrated and networked hardware, software and Internet infrastructure (called a platform). Using the Internet for communication and transport provides hardware, software and networking services to clients. A cloud refers to a distinct IT environment that is designed for the purpose of remotely providing scalable and measured IT resources. It is a network of networks providing remote access to a set of decentralized IT resources.

What is Cloud Computing APPLICATIONS SERVICES COMPUTER NETWORK STORAGE (DATABASE) SERVERS Shared pool of configurable computing resources On-demand network access Provisioned by the Service Provider 11
Where Is My Data? Data resides on servers that the customer cannot physically access Vendors may store data anywhere at lowest cost if not restrained by agreement 12 12

Characteristics of Cloud Computing Agility improves with users' ability to re-provision technological infrastructure resources. Cost reductions claimed by cloud providers. Device and location independence enable users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their location or what device they use (e. g. , PC, mobile phone). Maintenance of cloud computing applications is easier, because they do not need to be installed on each user's computer and can be accessed from different places.
Characteristics of Cloud Computing Multitenancy enables sharing of resources and costs across a large pool of users thus allowing for: centralization of infrastructure in locations with lower costs (such as real estate, electricity, etc. ) peak-load capacity increases (users need not engineer for highest possible load-levels) utilisation and efficiency improvements for systems that are often only 10– 20% utilised. Performance is monitored, and consistent and loosely coupled architectures are constructed using web services as the system interface.
Characteristics of Cloud Computing Productivity may be increased when multiple users can work on the same data simultaneously, rather than waiting for it to be saved and emailed. Reliability improves with the use of multiple redundant sites Scalability and elasticity Security.
The Best Cloud Storage Service Dropbox: this is the simplest and most efficient storage service in the cloud – think simplicity, think Dropbox. Apart from storage it offers synchronization, web sharing of files and client software for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile devices (i. Phone, i. Pad, Android. )
The Best Cloud Storage Service With Dropbox installed at my office and home computers I no longer carry USB flash drive. As your files are auto-synchronized on every computer/device - no emailing and downloading of files to different computers/devices – i. e. no headache of getting messed up with multiple file versions. On a new computer (or device) you can always use web interface to access your files (photos, videos, docs etc) d, Black. Berry)
Advantages of Cloud Computing Lower Computing Cost Improved Performance Reduced Software Cost Instant Software Updates Unlimited Storage Capacity Increased Data Reliability Device Independence and the “always on!, anywhere and any place” Free From Maintenance and the “no-need-to-know”
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing Requires a constant Internet connection Does not work well with low-speed connections Features might be limited (at the initial stage) Can be slow while more number of users Stored data might not be secure
