	abstract = {<p>Cloud Computing has gained importance in recent years. There are many implementations{\textquoteright} analyses and evaluations of Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) in the literature. Moreover, the context and characteristics differ drastically between implementations, depending on the user requirements and usage context. This paper presents a case study of the process we followed to select a Cloud Computing management platform to be deployed in a University. Administrative and academic requirements were gathered and studied to define the most appropriate platforms. We present an overview of available CMPs. Moreover, we show a set of comparison criteria that could be used to determine which CMP adapts best to the cloud deployment scenario.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Information security is one of the main concerns in many fields of computer and information technologies, and even more on new emerging technologies such as cloud computing. Current security standards and models usually focus on "what" has to be done about security, but they do not propose "how" to deal with the inherent complexity of assuring modern infrastructures. Security standards usually produce large check lists describing security countermeasures, but they lack a comprehensive and complete process to define the security requirements of information being managed. As a consequence, security implementations may miss important security controls, and they cannot guarantee a consistent and in-depth security implementation at the different layers of the system. We propose a methodology with a novel hierarchical approach to guide a comprehensive and complete assurance process. Real use cases are shown, by applying our methodology to assure a private cloud being developed at the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR).</p>},
