Multi-tenant databases (MTD) are aspect of computing that has become one of the revolutionary technologies of recent years. This technology has helped to discard the large-scale investments in hardware and software resources, in upgrading them regularly and also in expensive licences of application software used on inhouse hosted database systems. A MTD is a way of deploying a Database as a Service (DaaS) for the convenience and benefits of tenants. This concept is good for higher scalability and flexibility but it involves a lot of technicalities. The adoption of a MTD is based on some salient factors which can be grouped into four categories for easy understanding. A survey is presented in this research that involves a focus group of thirty respondents. The result shows the degree of impact each factor has on the decision to adopt a MTD. This paper also considers these factors and develops a framework that will help prospective tenants to take an informed decision about the adoption of the concept.

The adoption of cloud computing in small and medium size organisations has become a significant trend in today's information technology. Therefore, there is a requirement to identify possible security challengesand guidelines for the researchers based on the adoption. Keeping in view of these elements, a systematic literature review (SLR) of cloud computing adoption in businesses and organisations was conducted. Goal: The main purpose of this research is to identify the possible opportunities, challenges, factors and guidelines for the evaluation and adoption of cloud computing (CC) for organisations intending to adopt or already using CC.

Cloud computing (CC) is rapidly growing new information technology (IT) in private, public and especially in Government sectors internationally. CC technology facilitates rather than deploy and manage an in-house physical IT infrastructure by having local servers or personal devices to manage their softwares application. This new technology helps to transfer their traditional IT services model into remote, virtualised environments, which are often hosted and managed by the third parties. Therefore, CC environment of any organisation turn prospective opportunity for cyber attackers, which is become a primary challenges of CC in the protection of valuable data from different types of attacks. CC posed a serious risk and major challenge to digital investigators, also offers sufficient opportunities to investigators for better refining the forensic science. This study summarises the key areas of CC forensics science challenges and analyses by the researched performed by other researchers. The challenges also presented along with associated literature that particularly reference them. Finally the discussion and analysis, which is based on the study finding to consider the challenges provoke by the CC forensics science on our findings.

Hennepin Technical Centers staff serve 64 severely to profoundly hearing-impaired students from Minneapolis and 13 west metropolitan districts in centrally located secondary day school programs in the suburb of St. Louis Park. In the mainstream, a great deal of time is spent mastering the language of instruction as well as the concepts presented. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) has proven to be a valuable supplement to both special class and resource room instruction. Tutorial and drill and practice programs supplement instruction in language, vocabulary, reading, and math development in special classes. In the resource room, CAI provides drill and practice on vocabulary, language, and concepts from a large array of mainstreamed classes. Computer time has become a sought after reinforcer in behavior management programs. Well over 500 programs have been developed by our staff to meet our students' specific needs using authoring systems on the Apple microcomputer. Making hardware and software easily accessible to students and staff has been the key to integrating CAI into the program.
