An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure (2010)
Thesis
Yampolsky, V. (2010). An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3973

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector represent two to three percents of the world energy consumption and about the same percentage of GreenHouse Gas(GHG) emission. Moreover the IT-related costs represent fifty per-cents of the el... Read More about An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure.

Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development (2010)
Journal Article
Li, C., Pooley, R., & Liu, X. (2010). Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development. International journal of computer science & information technology, 2, 12-29. https://doi.org/10.5121/ijcsit.2010.2502

Despite the success that Component-Based Development (CBD) has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a big obstacle for wider and smoother component reuse. Mismatch refers that the selected component does not satisfy the functional requireme... Read More about Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development.

Not what you know, nor who you know, but who you know already: Examining Online Information Sharing Behaviours in a Blogging Environment through the Lens of Social Exchange Theory (2010)
Journal Article
Hall, H., Widen, G., & Paterson, L. (2010). Not what you know, nor who you know, but who you know already: Examining Online Information Sharing Behaviours in a Blogging Environment through the Lens of Social Exchange Theory. Libri, 60(2), 117-128. https://doi.org/10.1515/libr.2010.011

This paper focuses on the extent to which online information sharing practice is socially motivated. A key interest is how knowledge of the existing social connections between actors may predict their information sharing behaviour when they move into...
