Au contact des Français : voyageurs et touristes britanniques en France au début de la IIIe République
Authors: Piettre Pauline
Published: December 2014

Résumé Dans les années 1870, les touristes britanniques, déjà habitués à voyager à travers le continent et à visiter la France, viennent plus massivement encore sur notre territoire que pendant la décennie précédente. L’attrait pour les paysages, le patrimoine et le climat y est pour beaucoup mais le regard sur la population, jugée frivole, est souvent méfiant et teinté de préjugés. Mais, si beaucoup de clichés demeurent, ils deviennent, au contact des gens, des réalités plus sympathiques. Sans doute aidés par l’agrément que suscite la beauté des sites visités, les touristes britanniques se laissent gagner par la douceur de vivre et louent, dès lors, la gentillesse, la sociabilité et la gaité communicative des Français. L’étude des guides et des carnets de voyages, des récits, des souvenirs ou des correspondances, permet d’observer le regard que les Britanniques portent sur leurs voisins français et de voir comment les images, entretenues par une longue histoire commune, s’estompent ou se précisent au contact des populations.
L'Andalousie ou l'idéal de vie végétative d'après Ortega y Gasset
Authors: Fonck Béatrice
Published: December 2014

Résumé Lassé par les éternels poncifs des écrivains européens sur une Andalousie exotique, le philosophe Ortega y Gasset propose une vision résolument iconoclaste de ce qu’il entrevoit comme le berceau de l’Atlantide européenne. Un idéal de vie végétative inhérent à cette terre idyllique ne serait-il pas le paradigme d’une Europe de l’entre-deux-guerres en quête de paradis perdu ?
Du récit de voyage à l'objectivisation : terres et termes de géographe
Authors: Redon Marie
Published: December 2014

Résumé L’article met en regard des extraits de récits de voyage rédigés à l’occasion de missions de recherche au Timor oriental et en Haïti, avec leur prolongement « savant » pour montrer comment la construction scientifique en géographie passe d’abord par l’observation et la confrontation avec l’altérité. Trois extraits de récit de voyage sont ainsi commentés afin d’expliciter le lien entre le regard et son objectivation, entre la subjectivité et la réflexion.
L'Europe, une aventure spirituelle
Authors: Delors Jacques
Published: December 2014

Résumé À l’heure où l’union européenne économique et financière traverse une grave crise, où la zone euro semble menacée, il peut paraître curieux et déplacé de choisir de traiter l’Europe comme une aventure spirituelle. Pourtant, l’histoire de la construction européenne, de ses promesses en passant par ses difficultés, jusqu’à sa situation actuelle, nous rappelle la nécessité de confirmer la pertinence du projet européen en lui redonnant un sens. Mais sans élan spirituel, est-il possible de retrouver le véritable sens de l’activité humaine ? C’est le défi majeur auquel est confrontée l’Europe en ce début de xxi e siècle.
Le maître est-il condamné à l'échec chez Simone Weil ?
Authors: Jacomino Baptiste
Published: December 2014

Simone Weil défend l’idée selon laquelle les études scolaires peuvent être mises au service d’une visée spirituelle. Pour atteindre cette visée, dit-elle, il faut que l’attention de l’élève soit délivrée de toute influence de l’ego, de toute volonté personnelle. Comment le maître pourrait-il aider son élève à y parvenir dès lors que chaque enseignement risque de susciter une bonne volonté qui fera obstacle à l’attention véritable ? Le maître n’est-il pas condamné à une tâche impossible s’il veut mettre les études scolaires au service de l’amour de Dieu ? Non, dit Simone Weil, parce que la volonté peut être utile pour se délivrer de la volonté, et parce que le maître peut suivre quelques pistes pédagogiques, dont la réussite n’est jamais certaine, mais qui ne sont pas pour autant vouées à l’échec. Elle propose une action pédagogique qui n’est ni inutile ni suffisante.

Résumé Lorsqu’en 1912, l’expédition Scott atteignit le Pôle Sud, le drapeau d’Amundsen les avait précédés, fiché tout droit sur le point magnétique comme l’axe d’une mappemonde. Visible, j’imagine, au dernier moment, dans des hurlements de neige, alors qu’une moufle impatiente a commencé, dans l’un des traîneaux de l’arrière, à défaire le paquet oblong contenant leur drapeau, le drapeau Scott désormais inutile — pas de drapeau pour les seconds, pas de médaille d’argent dans la conquête des pôles.

Résumé Des douaniers inquiets qui font grève contre leur disparition annoncée, des camionneurs en colère qui refusent le contrôle systématique des douanes, et des policiers ambitieux qui inventent le « transfrontière » : tout ceci a pris, un beau jour, le visage improbable de « l’espace Schengen ». De ce désordre des acteurs et de leurs causes, un nouveau régime des frontières est né. Les frontières se sont évanouies, et en même temps multipliées. Elles assurent aujourd’hui non plus la séparation des États, mais (...)

Il traite aussi de la manière dont, huit ans après mai 68, les souvenirs des mouvements lycéens et étudiants s’effaçaient un peu plus à chaque rentrée scolaire. Qu’est-ce qu’une grève qui fait date ? Et que faire des autres, quand la grande histoire fait défaut ? La grève a commencé à l’école catholique de Sainte Marie (...)

Le procès de Jean-Paul Akayesu
Authors: Rovetta Ornella
Published: December 2014

De janvier 1997 à septembre 1998 s’est tenu, à Arusha, en Tanzanie, le premier procès du Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR). Ce procès « historique » déboucha sur un précédent jurisprudentiel fondateur. Cet article propose, par un travail fondé sur les archives judiciaires, d’interroger la construction du procès d’une part, et la spécificité du récit judiciaire issu des dépositions des témoins d’autre part. Cette étude de cas du procès d’un ancien bourgmestre permet également d’aborder, de manière plus transversale, les dynamiques de la violence et du génocide à l’échelle communale.
Tuer au cœur de la famille
Authors: Baraduc Violaine
Published: December 2014

Si les femmes représentent aujourd’hui environ 6 % des personnes incarcérées pour leur participation au génocide des Tutsi rwandais, leur implication doit néanmoins être considérée comme un de ses aspects décisifs. Elle s’est manifestée selon différentes modalités (allant des pillages et de la dénonciation aux crimes de sang), et a sans aucun doute contribué à l’intensité du génocide ainsi qu’à son efficacité. L’étude des trajectoires de deux femmes détenues à la prison centrale de Kigali éclaire quelques-uns des mécanismes qui ont permis aux violences de type génocidaire de s’introduire jusque dans la structure sociale élémentaire que constitue la cellule familiale, témoignant du caractère total des massacres de 1994.
Les vies successives de La Société du spectacle de Guy Debord
Authors: Trespeuch-Berthelot Anna
Published: December 2014

À l’origine, La Société du spectacle est un livre dont la vie se prolongea par des traductions et une adaptation au cinéma. Son succès fut tel qu’aujourd’hui son titre est passé dans le langage courant. Qu’est-ce qui explique que la critique de notre société formulée en 1967 par Guy Debord soit passée à la postérité en France et à l’étranger ? Cet article propose d’y répondre selon une démarche d’histoire culturelle, analysant successivement les phases de production, de médiation et de réception d’une théorie originale non seulement dans son contenu mais aussi dans sa forme.
Cultural Sensitivity Education for Nurses: A Pilot Study
Authors: Lee Christine A. , Anderson Mary Ann , Hill Pamela D.
Published: December 2014

Health professionals need to be responsive to changing demographics, especially the growing Hispanic American population. This pilot project explored the effect that an education program about selected Hispanic health beliefs and practices had on nurses who provide care to this population. Seven white registered nurses employed at a small, rural health department completed a 10-item, researcher-designed instrument, termed the Lee Cultural Sensitivity Tool: Hispanic Version, before and after an educational intervention. Findings showed that the intervention increased knowledge of selected Hispanic health beliefs and practices.
Peer Education: The Nursing Experience
Authors: Parkin Vera
Published: December 2014

Background:

The two-fold purpose of this study was to explore the peer education experiences of registered nurses and solutions for developing peer education as an effective method of adult learning.

Methods:

Eleven designated peer nurse teachers and 13 peer nurse learners were asked to complete a questionnaire. Three peer nurse teachers and three peer nurse learners were further interviewed in focus groups.

Results:

The metathemes of peer role conflict, organizational stress, and the timing of new role integration were identified.

Conclusions:

The study found nurses believed that to have a successful peer education program, the scope of the peer education program and the peer roles should be clarified, peer time should be available and accessible, positive motivational techniques (including a just peer selection process) should be present, and other resources should be provided.
Perpetually Perplexing Pediatric Patients: It’s Complicated: Part 1
Authors: Block Stan L.
Published: December 2014

Managing pediatric patients with atypical rashes and seemingly simple diagnostic illnesses will continue to challenge pediatricians. Considering the presence of an alternative diagnosis or more than one concomitant diagnosis or pathogen in the evaluation, although we try to avoid it, may often lead to better outcomes. Complex pediatric patients who vex and perplex each of us are to be expected in any outpatient general pediatric practice.

Knee Injuries in the Young Athlete
Authors: Finlayson Craig
Published: December 2014

The rate and severity of knee injuries in the pediatric population are on the rise. In addition to more generalized knee injuries, the pediatric knee is at risk for unique injuries secondary to the rapid growth and biomechanical properties of the pediatric skeleton. Given the common nature of knee injuries, the pediatrician must be aware of these injury patterns and possess the skills to effectively evaluate the pediatric knee. This article will discuss several of the most common pediatric knee injuries.

However, there are many research challenges that need to be addressed before one can deliver a mature service. This chapter provides a summary of research activities in a variety of healthcare-related Cloud initiatives. The authors highlight the key areas of ongoing research and describe others that require attention. The analysis and observations can be useful to healthcare Cloud professionals and can motivate interested researchers to initiate new efforts for better healthcare services deployed on the Cloud.
Data Recovery Strategies for Cloud Environments
Authors: Spyridopoulos Theodoros , Katos Vasilios
Published: December 2014

Data acquisition and data recovery are essential to any e-discovery or digital forensic process. However, these two aspects seem to be considerably difficult in a cloud-computing environment. The very nature of the Cloud raises a number of technical and organizational challenges, which renders traditional approaches and tools inapplicable. Resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and geographical distribution of data are only a small part of the Cloud's features that hinder the forensic investigation. At the same time, there is significant absence of forensic readiness in cloud computing policy framework. In this chapter, the authors discuss the challenges pertaining to data acquisition in a cloud environment and discuss possible directions for meeting these challenges by presenting representative cases and sketching acquisition process and scenarios.
A New Framework for Building Academic Library through Cloud Computing
Authors: Parashar Vijay , Vishwakarma Mohan Lal , Parashar Reema
Published: December 2014

Libraries all over the world suffer from common problems like flexibility associated with digital data, lower levels of efficiency, and costs involved in managing the entire IT infrastructure. Few options are available in collaborating with other libraries, which is the prime reason for subordinate levels of efficiency. For the past 20 years the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavor within business and governance. Within education, ICT has begun to have a presence, but the cost of ICT is not affordable. The basic principle of cloud computing entails the reduction of in-house data centres and the delegation of a portion or all of the information technology infrastructure capability to a third party. Universities and colleges are the core of innovation through their advanced research and development. Subsequently, higher institutions may benefit greatly by harnessing the power of cloud computing. Cloud computing would help in bridging the gap between academic libraries and ICT. Sharing of data among the libraries will in principle reduce the overall cost and increase efficiency. Capital expenditure done on infrastructure will chiefly be converted into operational expenditure. It will also enhance the user's experience and will help in making the libraries a lot more scalable. In this chapter the authors discuss problems faced with academic libraries and development efforts to overcome that problem. Then they propose to improve current user service model with cloud computing.
Cloud Environment Controls Assessment Framework
Authors: Shah Bharat
Published: December 2014

Recent years have seen the rapid growth of on-demand, flexible, low-cost cloud-based information technology services. Government and business organizations around the world have started transforming their traditional in-house data center environments to cloud-based outsourced data centers. This transformation is opening doors to new risks given that the cloud computing delivery models, related services, and technologies are still maturing and evolving. Before deployment, organizations must implement cloud environment assessment methodologies to comply with the applicable standards and regulations. They must evaluate the environment's quality attributes of Internet connectivity, user access control, privacy and confidentiality, asset protection, multiple platforms locality, availability, reliability, performance, and scalability. The purpose of this chapter is to assist organizations that are considering providing and consuming cloud-based services in developing an assessment plan specific to organizational policies, strategies and their business and applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and assessing the cloud environment controls for infrastructure, platform, and software services.

Computing Traffic Information in the Cloud
Authors: Wei Po-Ting , Wang Tai-Chi , Chang Shih-Yu , Chung Yeh-Ching
Published: December 2014

Vehicular ad hoc networks have been envisioned to be useful in road safety and commercial applications. In addition, in-vehicle capabilities could be used as a service to provide a variety of applications, for example, to provide real-time junction view of road intersections or to address traffic status for advanced traffic light control. In this work, the authors construct a cloud service over vehicular ad hoc networks to provide event data including capturing videos or Global Positioning System (GPS) data. Moreover, the authors integrate the GPS receiver and the navigation software equipped over On Board Unit to create a Geographic Information System digital map and to offer a traffic safety application. The hardware is implemented by Eeepad for integrating camera and GPS. Furthermore, the cyclic recording scheme has been addressed for data transmission and query. With the design, people can get real-time traffic information including traffic videos or geographical data in the cloud.
The Use of Cloud Computing in Shipping Logistics
Authors: Pal Kamalendu , Karakostas Bill
Published: December 2014

The aim of this chapter is to showcase the potential of new, Cloud-based, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms for transport logistics chain management. The related literature is analysed from five perspectives. First, by examining supply chain issues relating to integration of core processes across organizational boundaries, through improved communication, partnerships, and cooperation. Second, from a strategy and planning perspective, by examining supply chain management as an IT platform dependent business practice. Third, by considering implementation issues using agent, as well as Web service technologies. Fourth, by considering the impact of new trends in service computing built around technologies, such as Semantic Web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), on transport logistics. Finally, the chapter proposes a Cloud-based SOA software platform as an enabler for lowering transaction costs and enhancing business opportunities through service virtualization in shipping transport logistics. The operational aspects of shipping transport logistics management are illustrated using a business case that shows the opportunities for increased collaboration through Cloud-based virtualized services.
Cloud Computing and Gov 2.0
Authors: Roy Jeffrey
Published: December 2014

This article seeks to dissect the evolution of digital governance within the Canadian public sector at an expansionary time for cloud computing and wider reforms often referred to as Gov 2.0. Beyond infrastructure, the notion of the cloud may also be viewed as a proxy for a wider societal transformation that, in turn, impacts government both administratively and politically. This wider transformational nonetheless faces tensions between traditional proprietary concepts and mindsets and newer emerging models of open source and shared openness. The future of the Canadian public sector requires a careful navigation and blending of these two worldviews. While some observers may prefer to decouple cloud computing from new governance capacities associated with Gov 2.0 (viewing the cloud instead strictly through a prism of internal architecture and infrastructure), the evidence presented in this article suggests that both directions are intimately related in shaping the public sector going forward.
Digital Forensic Investigation and Cloud Computing
Authors: James Joshua I. , Shosha Ahmed F. , Gladyshev Pavel
Published: December 2014

This chapter aims to be a high-level introduction into the fundamental concepts of both digital forensic investigations and cloud computing for non-experts in one or both areas. Once fundamental concepts are established, this work begins to examine cloud computing security-related questions, specifically how past security challenges are inherited or solved by cloud computing models, as well as new security challenges that are unique to cloud environments. Next, an analysis is given of the challenges and opportunities cloud computing brings to digital forensic investigations. Finally, the Integrated Digital Investigation Process model is used as a guide to illustrate considerations and challenges during an investigation involving cloud environments.

Via cloud computing technology, bioinformatics tools can be made available as services to anyone, anywhere, and via any device. Large bio-datasets, highly complex algorithms, computing power demanding analysis methods, and the sudden need for hardware and computational resources provide an ideal environment for large-scale bio-data analysis for cloud computing. Cloud computing is already applied in the fields of biology and biochemistry, via numerous paradigms providing novel ideas stimulating future research. The concept of BioCloud has rapidly emerged with applications related to genomics, drug design, biology tools on the cloud, bio-databases, cloud bio-computing, and numerous applications related to biology and biochemistry. In this chapter, the authors present research results related to biology-related laboratories (BioLabs) as well as potential applications for the everyday clinical routine.
Cloud Computing for Cytopathologists
Authors: Pouliakis Abraham , Archondakis Stavros , Karakitsou Efrossyni , Karakitsos Petros
Published: December 2014

Cloud computing is changing the way enterprises, institutions, and people understand, perceive, and use current software systems. Cloud computing is an innovative concept of creating a computer grid using the Internet facilities aiming at the shared use of resources such as computer software and hardware. Cloud-based system architectures provide many advantages in terms of scalability, maintainability, and massive data processing. By means of cloud computing technology, cytopathologists can efficiently manage imaging units by using the latest software and hardware available without having to pay for it at non-affordable prices. Cloud computing systems used by cytopathology departments can function on public, private, hybrid, or community models. Using cloud applications, infrastructure, storage services, and processing power, cytopathology laboratories can avoid huge spending on maintenance of costly applications and on image storage and sharing. Cloud computing allows imaging flexibility and may be used for creating a virtual mobile office. Security and privacy issues have to be addressed in order to ensure Cloud computing wide implementation in the near future. Nowadays, cloud computing is not widely used for the various tasks related to cytopathology; however, there are numerous fields for which it can be applied. The envisioned advantages for the everyday practice in laboratories' workflow and eventually for the patients are significant. This is explored in this chapter.

Healthcare services have experienced a sharp increase in demand while the shortages in licensed healthcare professionals have formed one of the toughest challenges that healthcare providers face. In addition, illness has become more complex while advancement in technology and research have expedited the rise of modern and more effective diagnoses and treatment techniques. Cloud computing allows healthcare professionals to share medical records, including all sorts of image and accuracy while new applications or workloads can be started much faster, without going through the entire procurement process or testing the interoperability of the entire infrastructure. Moreover, although the notion of organizational culture is now routinely invoked in organizations and management literature, it remains an elusive concept. However, it is clear that managing the culture is one path towards improving healthcare, and cloud computing introduces a dynamic system adaptation, affecting the quality of care. This is explored in this chapter.

A major challenge in the field of software engineering is to make users trust the software that they use in their everyday activities for professional or recreational reasons. Amid the main criteria that formulate users' trust is the way that that their privacy is protected. Indeed, privacy violation is an issue of great importance for active online users that daily accomplish several transactions that may convey personal data, sensitive personal data, employee data, credit card data and so on. In addition, the appearance of cloud computing has elevated the number of personally identifiable information that users provide in order to gain access to various services, further raising user concerns as to how and to what extend information about them is communicated to others. The aim of this work is to elevate the modern practices for ensuring privacy during software systems design. To this end, the basic privacy requirements that should be considered during system analysis are introduced. Additionally, a number of well-known methods that have been introduced in the research area of requirements engineering which aim on eliciting and modeling privacy requirements during system design are introduced and critically analyzed. The work completes with a discussion of the additional security and privacy concepts that should be considered in the context of cloud-based information systems and how these affect current research.

Existing approaches for management of digital identities within e-learning ecosystems imply defining different access parameters for each service or application. However, this can reduce system security and lead to insufficient usage of the services by end-users. This chapter investigates various approaches for identity management, particulary in a cloud computing environment. Several complex issues are discussed, such as cross-domain authentication, provisioning, multi-tenancy, delegation, and security. The main goal of the research is to provide a highly effective, scalable identity management for end-users in an educational private cloud. A federated identity concept was introduced as a solution that enables organizations to implement secure identity management and to share information on the identities of users in the cloud environment. As a proof of concept, the identity management system was implemented in the e-learning system of Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade.

Cloud computing is changing the way corporate computing operates and forcing the rapid evolution of computing service delivery. It is being facilitated by numerous technological approaches and a variety of business models. Although utilizing the infrastructure of existing computing and networking technologies, different cloud service providers (CSPs) are able to unite their efforts and address a much broader business space. As a result, confusion has emerged and questions have risen from both Information Technology (IT) and business communities. How cloud environments differ from traditional models, and how these differences affect their adoption are of major importance. In this chapter, the authors first clarify misperceptions by introducing the new threats and challenges involved in cloud environments. Specifically, security issues and concerns will be depicted in three practical scenarios designed to illuminate the different security problems in each cloud deployment model. The chapter also further discusses how to assess and control the concerns and issues pertaining to the security and risk management implementations.
Holistic Investment Framework for Cloud Computing
Authors: Rabaey Marc
Published: December 2014

Cloud computing is a new technology which puts whole or partial parts of the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and services in a virtualized environment inside and/or outside the traditional IT center perimeter. It touches every level of the IT architecture and thus has a big influence on the way the internal and external users via their business processes are interacting with this architecture. Security is a big issue in this context and a lot of business and IT people are reluctant to move to the Cloud. Besides the security, business and architectural issues may increase the risks and create more uncertainties for these kinds of projects. For this reason, the chapter presents an investment framework, which takes into account the global, the business, the IT and the operational strategies, so that cloud computing projects have more chance to succeed. The need for flexibility in the investments is addressed by the real option valuation, which is placed in the context of the chapter's holistic investment framework for cloud computing.

Authors: King Tariq M. , Ganti Annaji S. , Froslie David
Published: December 2014

In cloud computing, applications are hosted, deployed, and delivered as services over the Internet. New cloud application services can be developed by tailoring existing ones, while hiding the complexity of the underlying implementation. Cloud applications may be able to adapt to changes in their environment, which should be secure and reliable. The infrastructure on which cloud applications are built is characterized by power, storage, and virtualization. But how does all of this affect the ability to adequately test cloud applications? This chapter investigates the testability of cloud application services. It focuses on the specific problem of reduced controllability and observability of software services hosted in the cloud, and proposes a novel solution referred to as Test Support as-a-Service (TSaaS). A prototype of TSaaS is also presented, and is used to discuss the feasibility, challenges, and benefits of the approach.

Published: December 2014

In this chapter, the author examines the various approaches taken by the popular cloud providers Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google App Engine (GAE), and Windows Azure (Azure) to secure the cloud. AWS offers Infrastructure as a Service model, GAE is representative of the Software as a Service, and Azure represents the Platform as a Service model. Irrespective of the model, a cloud provider offers a variety of services from a simple large-scale storage service to a complete infrastructure for supporting the operations of a modern business. The author discusses some of the security aspects that a cloud customer must be aware of in selecting a cloud service provider for their needs. This discussion includes the major threats posed by multi-tenancy in the cloud. Another important aspect to consider in the security context is machine virtualization. Securing these services involves a whole range of measures from access-point protection at the client end to securing virtual co-tenants on the same physical machine hosted by a cloud. In this chapter, the author highlights the major offerings of the three cloud service providers mentioned above. She discusses the details of some important security challenges and solutions and illustrates them using screen shots of representative security configurations.

Authors: Tsai Chia-Wen , Shen Pei-Di
Published: December 2014

More and more educational institutions are using educational technologies and online learning materials to help students achieve satisfactory learning effects. However, not all teachers are able to prepare and design digital learning materials for students. This research attempted to empirically demonstrate the effects of applying open educational resources (OERs) and a cloud classroom developed by Ming Chuan University, which comprises access to related software and online learning materials, to enhance students' computer skills and also improve their scores on certification examinations. The researchers conducted an experiment that included 114 undergraduates from two class sections – the first section received OERs in a cloud classroom in addition to their traditional classroom instruction (OER group, n=61), and the other learned in the traditional classroom without OERs (non-OER group, n=53). The results show that students who received OERs had significantly higher grades than those without in the PowerPoint module; however, the difference is not statistically significant in the Excel module. The authors further discuss the implications and unexpected results in this paper.

Published: December 2014

Various information systems are widely used in the information society era, and the demand for highly dependable system is increasing year after year. However, software testing for such a system becomes more difficult due to the enlargement and the complexity of the system. In particular, it is often difficult to test parallel and distributed systems in the real world after deployment, although reliable systems, such as high-availability servers, are parallel and distributed systems. To solve these problems, the authors propose a software testing environment for dependable parallel and distributed system using the cloud computing technology, named D-Cloud. D-Cloud consists of the cloud management software as the role of the resource management, and a lot of virtual machine monitors with fault injection facility in order to simulate hardware faults. In addition, D-Cloud introduces the scenario manager, and it makes a number of different tests perform automatically. Currently, D-Cloud is realized by the use of Eucalyptus as the cloud management software. Furthermore, the authors introduce FaultVM based on QEMU as the virtualization software, and D-Cloud frontend that interprets test scenario, constructs test environment, and dispatches commands. D-Cloud enables automating the system configuration and the test procedure as well as performing a number of test cases simultaneously and emulating hardware faults flexibly. This chapter presents the concept and design of D-Cloud, and describes how to specify the system configuration and the test scenario. Furthermore, the preliminary test example as the software testing using D-Cloud is presented. As the result, the authors show that D-Cloud allows easy setup of the environment, and to test the software testing for the distributed system.
