Computing education has permeated virtually all disciplines, expanding learning with new technology and an updated definition of literacy that includes computational thinking. As opportunities for multi-disciplinary courses that include computing increase, so do the challenges placed on faculty to develop such courses and the required computing expertise needed to teach them. This paper defines...

Cloud Computing is a new application model for decentralized computing which can provide reliable, customized and maximum number of users with minimum resource. The development of cloud computing marks a great leap towards designing a unified, open and flexible educational information platform, sharing educational resources, and diminishing gaps in the use of educational information. This paper...

Information is an integral part of our everyday lives and organisations need to have their information and related systems protected from various threats that exist. Therefore, information security education is of vital importance to all computing learners. It is the duty of higher education institutions to ensure that information security is pervasively integrated into the undergraduate comput...

The ethical aspects of computing are increasingly being taught and written about in professional information systems education in universities. However, the ever-increasing role and use of computer technology means that computer ethics education related to computing is also necessary for non-professional/non-major computing/information systems students. Owing to the differences between professi...

T he second Pervasive Computing Education Workshop (PerEd 09; http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~wgg/ PerEd2009) was held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp 09) in Orlando, Florida. It had been five years since the first PerEd workshop in 2004 (http://doi. ieeecomputersociety.org /10.1109/ PERCOMW.2004.10008) and six years since the formative Ubicomp Edu...

Cloud Computing promises novel and valuable capabilities for computer users and is explored in all possible areas of information technology dependant fields. However, the literature suffers from hype and divergent definitions and viewpoints. Cloud powered higher education can gain significant flexibility and agility. Higher education policy makers must assume activist roles in the shift towards...

Cloud computing is a buzzword now days. It has changed the whole scenario. cloud computing being “on demand” following in line with other “utilities”, such as electricity and telephone .Not even the business organisation and several educational institutions have been considering and some of them even adopting cloud computing strategies in order to meet their requirements. Cloud computing servic...

Computer science is in crisis in South Carolina. It is entirely possible that computer science is no more in crisis here than it is nationally, but that does not change the fact that computer science is in crisis. Our analysis here is not much different from that done by the Computer Science Teachers Association [CSTAa]; this means that if we can find solutions locally to problems that are nati...

Pervasive computing has greater influence in different domains on both local and global scenarios. It is important for researchers to identify the challenges, rewards, goals, and methods of developing these technologies in different domains to fully aware of its potential. Pervasive computing would take away the boundaries in computing and ultimately, benefit the whole society. Just as a smart ...
