A Privacy Maturity Model for Cloud Storage Services

The purpose of this article is to present a PrivacyMaturity Model of services offered by Cloud ComputingProviders in the context of Cloud Storage. This study aims topresent an overview of the current barriers in these scenariosand present a model based on technical analysis of maturity inthese environments. We present the goals to be achieved in thisresearch, as well as the strategies to be pursued to the contents of sensitive data in order to establish a level of effectiveprivacy. Also featuring is planning an architectural model as aprototype, and set in stages as its research and implementation.

A cloud-based recommendation model

The recommendation systems aim to minimize information overload by helping users in searching desired information. Faced with this scenario, we investigate the use of cloud factors able to have a positive influence on generating recommendations. Thus, we present a new, simple model based on cloud features which is associated with the content-based technique of recommendation. The practical applicability of data storage environments in the cloud provides the best use of cloud resources and meets users preferences.
