Software architecture is what defines a software system to be built. It starts early in the software development life cycle. The software architecture defines the data as well as the components of any software system along with the relation between them. It constitutes the blueprint that directs the development of the computer based software system. Being a critical activity of software development life cycle, any error in the design phase of software development can be critical to an organization dealing with the project and as such requires evaluation process that will not only analyse the architecture for its quality attributes but will benefit the software development organization by minimizing the risks associated with the software system to be built by pinpointing the errors early in the process of development. This paper highlights the architecture evaluation process with some examples of evaluation methods along with related work that has been previously done in the said field.Keywords

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present the different views of how cloud computing is being adopted as a service in the field of Information Science, and the varied services being provided by the Cloud.
Methodology: An online survey was carried out to look for cloud services and its level of penetration in the field of information science as a services provider. Also previous work on the same topic by various researchers was also taken into account as they provided the required impetus for the research process.
Findings: The study assesses the cloud computing and the use of its services in the field of Information Science, along with few relevant examples of large scale cloud computing services.
Research Implications: The finding can be used by the professionals to get basic understanding of the cloud computing and its services for information storage and dissemination.
