The Exploration of Government as a Service Through Community Cloud Computing

Abstract

The current article discusses the concept of government as a service through the use of cloud computing which is managed from a public community, such as the citizens of a municipality. It suggests a potential architecture of a gamified community cloud in order to transform cloud computing management to an enjoyable and valuable experience. The architecture includes the development of an on-site community and an outsourced community cloud computing infrastructure. Moreover, additional discussion in this article includes the potentiality of cloud computing as a tool towards the succesful operation of a self governed community.
