1] Cloud based e-Voting: One Step Ahead for Good Governance in India

International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 8887) Volume 67 No.6, April 2013

ABSTRACT
This paper presents an effective secure and fear free e-voting model based on cloud computing. On implementation it will facilitate those voters who are willing but not in to the position to cast their votes owing to their absence from head quarter for reasons beyond their control. In this paper e-Voting model has been integrated with AADHAR CARD or Unique Identification (UID) card data base using cloud. By integrating e-Voting model with cloud infrastructure and AADHAR CARD database, percentage of polling would increase and can provide authentic electoral voting mechanism to satisfy the need of the voters. Cloud computing would also accelerates the e-Voting system because of the new architecture and secure technology. It would enable users and developers to utilize computing resources that are virtualized and serve the needs of the voters via the internet.

2] Cloud Based E-Government: Benefits and Challenges

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING, VOL. 4, NO. 6, JULY 2013

ABSTRACT
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has good impact on performance of businesses. Keeping a successful implementation of e-business in mind, governments decided to use ICT in public affairs in order to improve the performance of public sector organizations in the form of providing best possible information and services to citizens, businesses and other governments. With the passage of time computing technologies have made advancement and governments around the world were thinking to make good use of advanced computing technologies in government organizations. Today most of the countries are facing financial crises and as a result they are cutting extra spending and as a result governments are shrinking ICT budget. E-government is a huge project which requires good amount of money from the government. Some of the new inventions in computing technologies made it possible to reduce costs and increase efficiency and flexibility according to the needs of government sectors. One of the new inventions is cloud computing where information and computing services are provided as utilities. The use of cloud based e-government is to help the governments in providing best possible services to the citizens and businesses, and to reduce the costs as in cloud based e-government they will not require to purchase and install the ICT equipments on their own premises. In this paper we analyzed cloud computing and its applications in the context of e-government.

3] Implement of Cloud Computing for e-Leaming System

2012 International Conference on Computer & Information Science (ICCIS)

ABSTRACT
E-learning systems provide processes of delivering the learning contents to learners who have different backgrounds, interests, and locations away from a classroom in order to maximize the effectiveness of learning. Usually, the classical e-learning system is based on client/server architecture thus they lack of the scalability, flexibility and interoperability. It makes the learning resources cannot share, and the system improvement is not easily. This paper proposes the cloud computing architecture in the elearning system that the architecture separate into three layers includes infrastructure, platform and application. This architecture needs to design components in order to transfer the learning resources to the cloud platform. Infrastructure layer, the learmng resources from the traditional system are transferred to the cloud database instead of the usual DBMS. Platform layer, a new e-learning system that consists of the CMS, AMS, and other service components were developed. These components were developed to be the intermediary between cloud database and the applications. Finally, application layer, CA T web application and WBI application were developed for interacting with the student's client. The results shown that all applications co-operated with the other components suitably. Applying the cloud computing makes the classical e-learning more scalability, flexibility, and interoperability. Moreover, cloud computing induces the way that e-learning can be share and distribute the learning resources to any kind of devices and platforms. Since the elearning services are used for a relative short time, pay per use of the cloud could reduce the cost thus the organization pay only for capacity that actually used
