Developing Activities for Teaching Cloud Computing and Virtualization
Journal Title: Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Cloud computing and virtualization are new but indispensable components of computer engineering and information systems curricula for universities and higher education institutions. Learning about these topics is important for students preparing to work in the IT industry. In many companies, information technology operates under tight financial constraints. Virtualization, (for example storage, desktop, and server virtualization), reduces overall IT costs through the consolidation of systems. It also results in reduced loads and energy savings in terms of the power and cooling infrastructure. Therefore it is important to investigate the practical aspects of this topic both for industry practice and for teaching purposes. This paper demonstrates some activities undertaken recently by students at the Eastern Institute of Technology New Zealand and concludes with general recommendations for IT educators, software developers, and other IT professionals.

Forecasting Parameter Estimates: A Modeling Approach Using Exponential and Linear Regression
This paper supplies a calculation method for the parameter estimates of an exponential equation through SAS algorithm. The aim of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of the gained parameter estimates through the...
Block Milne’s Implementation For Solving Fourth Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Block predictor-corrector method for solving non-stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs) started with Milne’s device. Milne’s device is an extension of the block predictor-corrector method providing further benefits...
A Compact Quint-Band Bandpass Filter Based on Stub-Loaded Resonators
This paper presents a planar quant-band bandpass filter with a high out-of-band rejection. The filter is based on inter-coupled stub-loaded resonators, where pairs of resonators are electromagnetically coupled to each ot...
