Cloud Computing Development Strengthens Delegated Information Processing as the New Information-Communications Ecosystem

Information-communications systems, consisting of three core categories: information (content), communication mechanism (currently dominated by Internet), and services (data/information processing, content delivery, etc.) were changing over time from the distributed processing to the cloud computing. Current cloud computing development gives the basis for delegated information processing deployment. These systems differentiate from traditional distributed data processing that was the predecessor to the information-communications systems development. Computer communities assume most of the structural and functional characteristics of the business communities and ecosystems that evolve in their complexity and functionality. Thus, in the context of information-communications systems development process, started with the distributed data processing systems and maturating through the deployment of grid and cloud computing, there is the need for delegated information processing systems that build new information-communications ecosystem. It is a digital environment populated by digital units presented by software components, applications, services, information, information processing models, etc. It is close to the term of digital ecosystem, which is in the same time a network where nodes can be added or removed allowing delegated person, machine, service or application to interact with or share the data. Basic conceptual issues and the ecosystem model are presented in order to introduce novelty in the field of data processing management architecture, and to distinguish distributed processing model from the grid and cloud semantic architectures. The delegated information processing is introduced as the platform that should incorporate the most acceptable elements from the grid and cloud computing, providing business community with the new information processing paradigm. Delegated information processing, as a new information-communications ecosystem, comprises also a complexity of security and privacy issues, which are presented with the thoughts on new areas of research.
