Cloud computing har drivit fram ett nytt paradigm för mjukvaruutveckling och -distribution. Nya teknologier används för att leverera infrastruktur och plattformar som tjänst, vilket innebär särskilda utmaningar. I den här studien tittar vi på utmaningar i kategorierna (1) informations- och datasäkerhet, baserat på CIA-triaden och (2) datakontroll och ansvar. Vi har genomfört semistrukturerade inte

När den enskilda överklagar ett förvaltningsbeslut står den ofta som ensam motpart i rätten mot myndighetens processjurister. För att den enskilde ska kunna ta till vara på sin rätt och obalansen inte ska bli oskäligt stor mellan parterna har domaren lagstadgade möjligheter att påverka processen så att den enskildes rätt tas tillvara.
