Redefining the Cloud based on Beneficial Service Characteristics - A New Cloud Taxonomy Leads to Economically Reasonable Semi-cloudification

Cloud services promise benefits for customers and providers such as scalability, elasticity and reduced investment costs. Unfortunately, many of the promised benefits are not fulfilled by today’s cloud offerings and not every service can be cloudified, e.g. if the service’s intrinsic structure contains unavoidable time-consuming or manual tasks. A new cloud definition, based on a survey and com...

Running head: Reasonable Reasons Reasonable Reasons for Waiting

Recent decision-making research claims to establish that, in violation of Savage’s normative sure-thing principle, individuals often wait to acquire noninstrumental information and subsequently base their decisions upon this information. The current research suggests that characterizing individuals as pursuing noninstrumental or useless information may be overstated. Through a series of experim...

Redefining robustness

The concept of robustness in the context of most work in Alife and complex systems implies that the results of a given model remain consistent despite unexpected variation. For example, homeostatic coupling between an animat and the environment is one possible simple form of robustness which we have demonstrated in simple simulation models (Ikegami et al., 2008, BioSystems, 91, p. 388), in whic...
