    Career in Cloud Computing: Exploratory Analysis of In-Demand Competency Areas and Skill Sets
    (Mdpi, 2022) Ozyurt, Ozcan; Gurcan, Fatih; Dalveren, Gonca Gokce Menekse; Derawi, Mohammad
    This study aims to investigate up-to-date career opportunities and in-demand competence areas and skill sets for cloud computing (CC), which plays a crucial role in the rapidly developing teleworking environments with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we conducted a semantic content analysis on 10,161 CC job postings using semi-automated text-mining and probabilistic topic-modeling procedures to discover the competency areas and skill sets as semantic topics. Our findings revealed 22 competency areas and 46 skills, which reflect the interdisciplinary background of CC jobs. The top five competency areas for CC were identified as "Engineering", "Development", "Security", "Architecture", and "Management". Besides, the top three skills emerged as "Communication Skills", "DevOps Tools", and "Software Development". Considering the findings, a competency-skill map was created that illustrates the correlations between CC competency areas and their related skills. Although there are many studies on CC, the competency areas and skill sets required to deal with cloud computing have not yet been empirically studied. Our findings can contribute to CC candidates and professionals, IT organizations, and academic institutions in understanding, evaluating, and developing the competencies and skills needed in the CC industry.

    Hybrid Blockchain Platforms for the Internet of Things (iot): a Systematic Literature Review
    (Mdpi, 2022) Alkhateeb, Ahmed; Catal, Cagatay; Kar, Gorkem; Mishra, Alok
    In recent years, research into blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) has grown rapidly due to an increase in media coverage. Many different blockchain applications and platforms have been developed for different purposes, such as food safety monitoring, cryptocurrency exchange, and secure medical data sharing. However, blockchain platforms cannot store all the generated data. Therefore, they are supported with data warehouses, which in turn is called a hybrid blockchain platform. While several systems have been developed based on this idea, a current state-of-the-art systematic overview on the use of hybrid blockchain platforms is lacking. Therefore, a systematic literature review (SLR) study has been carried out by us to investigate the motivations for adopting them, the domains at which they were used, the adopted technologies that made this integration effective, and, finally, the challenges and possible solutions. This study shows that security, transparency, and efficiency are the top three motivations for adopting these platforms. The energy, agriculture, health, construction, manufacturing, and supply chain domains are the top domains. The most adopted technologies are cloud computing, fog computing, telecommunications, and edge computing. While there are several benefits of using hybrid blockchains, there are also several challenges reported in this study.

    Does Domain-Driven Design Lead To Finding the Optimal Modularity of a Microservice?
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2021) Vural, Hulya; Koyuncu, Murat
    Information systems are moving into the cloud. The new requirements enforced by cloud standards are high availability, high scalability, and a reduced mean time to recovery. Due to these new requirements, information system architecture styles are also evolving. Microservice architecture is becoming the de facto standard for developing highly modular cloud information systems. Since microservices were introduced, there has been an ongoing debate concerning how to choose the granularity of a microservice. In this study, the optimal point of granularity for microservices is examined based on coupling and cohesion values. The present study is based on two design examples generated in previous studies that applied domain-driven design in proposing microservices. Both examples are modified to generate more and less granular microservices. The coupling and cohesion values of the original examples are compared to those of the more and less granular microservices. We observe that domain-driven design has delivered a good end result for finding modular microservices.
