An Exploration of How People Form Trust in Cloud Computing Sarah Kim University of Texas at Austin 1616 Guadalupe Suite #5.202 Austin, TX 78701-1213 srhkim@gmail.com ABSTRACT Ayoung Yoon University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 216 Lenoir Dr. CB #3360 100 Manning Hall, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 ayyoon@email.unc.edu journalists, IT experts, and scholars have addressed challenges of trust in cloud computing often accompanied with concerns for security, privacy, diminishing user control, lack of transparency, and reputation issues (e.g., Ghosh & Arce, 2010; Kahn & Malluhi, 2010; Pearson & Benameur, 2010; Habib, Ries, & Muhlhauser, 2010). Many of the trust-related discussions, however, are often based on the viewpoints of service developers/providers or technology focused (e.g., Hwang & Li, 2010). Cloud service providers (CSPs) saying “trust me” does not necessarily motivate people to respond with “I trust you.” Understanding of users’ thoughts on trust issues in the cloud computing environment is necessary in order to build and preserve trust between users and cloud service providers. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH The present study explores individual end-users’ perspectives of cloud computing, especially issues regarding their trust/distrust of cloud services. While current cloud computing service development focuses on adoption by enterprises and organizations, individual endusers who use cloud services in their everyday lives also constitute an important consumer...

From the beginning of the of the story, the writer creates an atmosphere that makes the reader feel tension building by relating to colours.” A bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another”. This indicates the use of red for blood and foreshadows the upcoming danger. Yellow represents caution which also foreshadows the negative side of how the story progresses. The use of adjectives such as “long, deep, incredible “create calm and peacefulness when relating to the sea and lagoons of the island.

...Abstract: Bio 2 students at Florida Institute of Technology went on a seining field trip to the Indian River Lagoon. The Lagoon stretches about 30% of Florida’s eastern coastline and is extremely unique. The students used a 15m net at three different depths; knee-deep, waist-deep and neck-deep. After bringing the net to shore the students measured the length of all the fish caught and recorded it along with its species. This data was then used to create Histograms comparing length of fish to frequency of appearance. Shannon-Weiner indices were also created from this information in order to help calculate the biodiversity of the Indian River Lagoon. Introduction: The Indian River Lagoon runs for about 150 miles, from Ponce de Leon Inlet all the way to the Jupiter Inlet. The Indian River Lagoon is sizeable body of water that separates the barrier islands from the mainland (IRGS 2007). This river dominates about 30% of Florida’s east coast. The Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River and the Indian River Lagoon, together make up the entire Indian River lagoon system. The lagoon consists of three different types of ecosystems; wetlands, terrestrials and estuaries. The Indian River Lagoon is unique from any other estuary system and has great biodiversity. This is because of its “unique geographical location, which straddles the transition zone between colder temperate, and warmer sub-tropical biological provinces. Here, as perhaps no where else in the continental United States, tropical...
