Deep Learning Techniques for Adaptive Resource Allocation and Data Reliability in Cloud Ecosystems
type: item
description: Cloud ecosystems are of particular importance in terms of providing supporting framework for a wide range of current and future digital services and applications, but they also have potentially fatal flaws in terms of resource management and data integrity. Indeed, conventional approaches are normally slow in meeting the needs of such surroundings in a way that results in wastage of resources, poor productivity and propensity to failure. This article envisages how the deep learning methods can be applied to these critical concerns. In this paper, with the aid of neural networks, reinforcement learning, and ensemble methods, we contribute adaptive approaches to managing the distribution of the resources while improving the credibility of the data in real-time. The features of the methodology include the use of the workload forecasting based on the predictive modeling, the dynamic resource management based on the reinforcement learning, and the usage of the data integrity and fault tolerance based on the anomaly detection algorithms. The result shows that deep learning is not only more accurate but also more scalable and flexible in a highly dynamic environment compared to the heuristic methods. A simulated analysis of the proposed scheme shows scenarios of decreased latency, more efficient load distribution, and increased system stability despite fluctuating conditions. That is why the experimental outcomes reported in this article evidence the goal of deep learning in cloud environments to construct a more robust and efficient infrastructure. They generalize far beyond the optimization of operational functionality and open up opportunities for cost reduction and increased sustainability in the field of cloud computing. The findings of this research underscore the need for continuing the enhancement of the AI integration into cloud systems for the purpose of managing new issues and realizing new possibilities.

An Empirical Analysis Of Customer Rage Behavior's Causes, Symptoms, And Organizational Reactions
type: item
description: The findings of this research confirm that customers with Rancorous Rage Emotions tend to directly exhibit all forms of CRB, i.e. exit, revenge, and spreading negative WOM. Customers with Rancorous Rage Emotions are more likely to show exit behaviour and negative WOM. They also tend to take revenge directly, without displaying CRX. Not only is this very dangerous, it is also very difficult to manage customers who directly spring to action without showing any symptoms or expressions related to rage. They do not give enough time to employees and managers of the organisation to respond. These outcomes are contrary to the findings of research of McColl-Kennedy et al. (2009), wherein they have suggested that angry customers first exhibit CRX and then get into CRB. As per the outcome of this research, customers with Retaliatory Rage Emotions do not exhibit any of the CRB directly. Their CRE tend to get reflected into CRB through the vi mediation of CRX. These findings can be helpful to both research scholars and working professionals. Front-end employees and managers are expected to identify and attend to customers who are displaying CRB promptly, in order to minimize damage to the organisation. Timely identification and appropriate handling could also prevent the occurrence of such incidents in future. Organisations are expected to prepare front-end employees by training and orienting them to tackle such customers. They are also expected to work out strategies, so that such events can be prevented from recurring. This study gives readers an insight into the concept of Customer Rage Behaviour (CRB), and its peripheral issues. It is aimed at helping readers understand the impact of effective management of Customer Rage Behaviour (CRB) incidents on customers, front-end employees, and organisations.
