Cloud computing has recently become very popular, and several bioinformatics applications exist already in that domain. The aim of this article is to analyse a current cloud system with respect to usability, benchmark its performance and compare its user friendliness with a conventional cluster job submission system. Given the current hype on the theme, user expectations are rather high, but current results show that neither the price/performance ratio nor the usage model is very satisfactory for large-scale embarrassingly parallel applications. However, for small to medium scale applications that require CPU time at certain peak times the cloud is a suitable alternative.

Cloud computing and its three facets (Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)) are terms that denote new developments in the software industry. In particular, PaaS solutions, also referred to as cloud platforms, are changing the way software is being produced, distributed, consumed, and priced. Software vendors have started considering cloud platforms as a strategic option but are battling to redefine their offerings to embrace PaaS. In contrast to SaaS and IaaS, PaaS allows for value co-creation with partners to develop complementary components and applications. It thus requires multisided business models that bring together two or more distinct customer segments. Understanding how to design PaaS business models to establish a flourishing ecosystem is crucial for software vendors. This doctoral thesis aims to address this issue in three interrelated research parts. First, based on case study research, the thesis provides a deeper understanding of current PaaS business models and their evolution. Second, it analyses and simulates consumers' preferences regarding PaaS business models, using a conjoint approach to find out what determines the choice of cloud platforms. Finally, building on the previous research outcomes, the third part introduces a design theory for the emerging class of PaaS business models, which is grounded on an extensive action design research study with a large European software vendor. Understanding PaaS business models from a market as well as a consumer perspective will, together with the design theory, inform and guide decision makers in their business model innovation plans. It also closes gaps in the research related to PaaS business model design and more generally related to platform business models.

The emergence of powerful new technologies, the existence of large quantities of data, and increasing demands for the extraction of added value from these technologies and data have created a number of significant challenges for those charged with both corporate and information technology management. The possibilities are great, the expectations high, and the risks significant. Organisations seeking to employ cloud technologies and exploit the value of the data to which they have access, be this in the form of "Big Data" available from different external sources or data held within the organisation, in structured or unstructured formats, need to understand the risks involved in such activities. Data owners have responsibilities towards the subjects of the data and must also, frequently, demonstrate that they are in compliance with current standards, laws and regulations. This thesis sets out to explore the nature of the technologies that organisations might utilise, identify the most pertinent constraints and risks, and propose a framework for the management of data from discovery to external hosting that will allow the most significant risks to be managed through the definition, implementation, and performance of appropriate internal control activities.

Cette thèse est consacrée à l'analyse des parcours de vie d'un groupe d'anciens et anciennes élèves d'un établissement scolaire d'élite français (les Ecoles normales supérieures de Fontenay-aux-roses, Saint-Cloud et Lyon - promotions 1981-1987). A partir d'une approche longitudinale, son but est de montrer comment l'articulation entre la socialisation familiale, scolaire, professionnelle et conjugale participe à l'orientation progressive des parcours de vie des normalien-ne-s. Elle vise ainsi à remettre en question l'idée, largement répandue, selon laquelle l'intégration d'un cursus scolaire aussi sélectif et prestigieux que celui des ENS garantirait à Lou.te.s les élèves les mêmes chances d'accès aux positions dominantes de l'espace social. Alliant l'analyse de trois types de données (archives, questionnaires, entretiens), cette thèse met en évidence la manière dont inégalités relatives à l'origine sociale et au sexe se recomposent, une fois les portes de l'institution franchies. Elle montre que, dans un contexte socio-historique marqué par une forte expansion scolaire, il est plus que jamais nécessaire d'opérer une articulation systématique entre l'analyse des conditions sociales de réussite scolaire et l'analyse des conditions sociales d'exploitation des titres scolaires, afin de rendre compte des processus complexes de reproduction des inégalités et d'esquisser certaines de leur conditions de dépassement. Abstract: This thesis is dedicated to the life course analysis of alumni from one of the most prestigious French Grandes écoles (the Ecoles Normales Supérieures of Fontenay-aux- roses, Saint-Cloud and Lyon - classes of 1981.-1987). Through a longitudinal perspective, it aims to analyze how family, educational, professional and conjugal socialization processes combine to shape the life course of this particular group of graduates. The main goal of this research is to question the widespread belief that the French Grandes Ecoles guarantee automatic access to the very top of the professional and social hierarchy for all of their graduates. Based on a mixed methods research design (archive data, a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews), this thesis shows that, according to social origin and gender, ENS graduates actually adopt a diverse range of professional careers. It show how, in a socio-historical context characterized by a general increase in educational levels, any analysis of social inequalities should combine two levels of analysis: the social conditions of access to educational credentials, on the one hand, and the labor market value of formal qualifications, on the other hand. Our results suggest that the combined analysis of these two processes provide useful insight into the increasingly complex processes of social reproduction - and suggest fruitful perspectives for reducing some sources of inequality.
