[First paragraph] Enterprise information systems (EIS) have been important enablers of crossfunctional processes within businesses since the 1990s. Often referred to as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, they were extended in line with electronic businesses to integrate with suppliers as well as customers. Today, EIS architectures comprise not only ERP, supply chain, and customer relationship management systems, but also business intelligence and analytics. Recently, the move towards decentralized technologies has created new perspectives for EIS. Information systems (IS) research has already addressed opportunities and challenges of these developments quite well, but what will be the pressing opportunities and challenges for …

Performance Modeling Of Cryptographic Service System Virtualization Based On Issm, Songhui Guo, Qingbao Li, Sun Lei, Xuerong Gong, Tianchi Yang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: The complicated architecture of cryptographic service system virtualization raised the difficulty of performance modeling. A performance modeling approach based on ISSMs was proposed. The approach divided the execution process into two stages, host preprocessing and arithmetic-module calculating, and built two sub-models based on queuing theory. On this basis, the effectiveness of this approach was verified. The results show that this method can analyze the impacts on system performance caused by task arrival rates, host and cryptographic card configurations quantitatively, and also be helpful for providing reasonable solutions to deploy virtualized cryptographic service system on cloud computing platforms.

The emergence of the cloud is heightening the demands on the network in terms of bandwidth, ubiquity, reliability, latency, and route control. Unfortunately, the current architecture was not designed to offer full support for all of these services or to permit money to flow through it. Instead of modifying or adding specific services, the architecture could redesigned to make Internet services contractible by making the relevant information associated with these services both observable and verifiable. Indeed, several on-going research programs are exploring such strategies, including the NSF’s NEBULA, eXpressive Internet Architecture (XIA), ChoiceNet, and the IEEE’s Intercloud projects.
