Cloud computing has attracted a lot of interests from both the academics and the industries, since it provides efficient resource management, economical cost, and fast deployment. However, concerns on security and privacy become the main obstacle for the large scale application of cloud computing. Encryption would be an alternative way to relief the concern. However, data encryption makes efficient data utilization a challenging problem. To address this problem, secure and privacy preserving keyword search over large scale cloud data is proposed and widely developed. In this paper, we make a thorough survey on the secure and privacy preserving keyword search over large scale cloud data. We investigate existing research arts category by category, where the category is classified according to the search functionality. In each category, we first elaborate on the key idea of existing research works, then we conclude some open and interesting problems.

EHealth information systems have brought about a lot of positives which include timeous reporting, efficient data analysis, better decision making, coordination and better work processes. Zimbabwe has also adopted the eHealth information systems and this study sought to establish the effects of eHealth information systems on the management of health information in hospitals in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The study applies a qualitative research methodology in which a case study research design and a purposive sampling technique were used. Document analysis and face to face interviews were held with a total of eleven research participants.

Traditional Process

In this chapter, we provide an account of the emergence of a virtual community following a shift in institutional work practice from a traditional process to one that was primarily electronic. In the 1998/99 MBA Admissions season, the Sloan School of Management moved from a primarily paper-based application process to an entirely Web-based application process. From the Admissions Office point of view, this shift to on-line admissions was intended to be a relatively contained and simple change in medium to reduce costs in one part of the process (in order to allow greater spending on another part) and to simplify work processes in the office, as well as to reinforce Sloan’s image of technological innovativeness.

Efficient Data Structures

In this paper, we study several geometric path query problems. Given a scene of disjoint polygonal obstacles with totally n vertices in the plane, we construct efficient data structures that enable fast reporting of an "optimal" obstacle-avoiding path (or its length, cost, directions, etc) between two arbitrary query points s and t that are given in an on-line fashion. We consider geometric paths under several optimality criteria: L m length, number of edges (called links), monotonicity with respect to a certain direction, and some combinations of length and links. Our methods are centered around the notion of gateways, a small number of easily identified points in the plane that control the paths we seek. We give efficient solutions for several special cases based upon new geometric observations. We also present solutions for the general cases based upon the computation of the minimum size visibility polygon for query points.

Work At Home

Job and work design are critical factors in the development and maintenance of a committed high-quality workforce. The pandemic has been the catalyst or global social experiment for people to work at home en masse encouraging employers and employees to think about how and why their jobs are being done, to develop new work and job design policies and practices. However, as well as significant benefits, there are potential pitfalls in moving 'on-line' that needs to be considered as many see this as a permanent feature of the new workplace post pandemic. This chapter explores these issues in the context of job crafting.

The labour market politics of municipalities The labour market politics of municipalities The new Work and Social Assistance Act incites municipalities to execute social assistance more efficiently. This article discusses the implications of this new system of financing for the labour market politics of municipalities. Budgeting financial means of social assistance and reintegration offers a solution to agency problems involved with the realization of these policies. However, this creates a larger problem in the sense that municipalities are confronted with a policy issue to which they have no simple solution: influencing regional (un)employment. This article addresses ways in which municipalities may cope with this dilemma and the emphases they have thus far placed on various related issues. At the moment an internal orientation, concern with work processes, seems to overshadow an external orientation, concerned with the regional labour market.

Temporal Flexibility

Much has changed since Frithjof Bergmann’s seminal thoughts on New Work (1994; 2004): For example, mobile devices as well as virtual communication and cooperation have entered the business world and have brought forth a new economy, agile work processes, new employment relationships, leadership styles, co-working tools, and an enhanced spatial and temporal flexibility (for a review, see Aroles et al., 2019). The present special issue on “New Work Arrangements” was initiated to revise and refine the underlying concepts and theories to account for these path-breaking developments. When we made our call for submissions in late 2019, our main observation was that research on work and leadership has been neglecting the pervasive presence of technology in organizational work (Orlikowski & Scott, 2017). We argued that these changes in work methods and organization are so profound that common theories and concepts need to be revisited to see if they still do justice to the changed situation. Shortly thereafter, the world was hit by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The corresponding restrictions on social contact and mobility catalysed, whether desired or not, the widespread use of virtual collaboration and communication tools, as well as flexible work arrangements that account for the various needs and duties of employees’ private lives (e.g., home-schooling). Much of what has been unthinkable in advance (e.g., video conferences instead of business trips, flexible forms of mobile work or home office) has proven beneficial for companies as well as employees. Hence, in the ‘new normal’ of the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis in Western industrialized nations, it seems clear that many of the new approaches will be maintained. Revisiting forms of New Work, as well as related challenges and opportunities, is now more important than ever.
