E-COMMERCE SYSTEMS SECURITY FOR SMALL BUSINESSESIJNSA Journal
Small business e-commerce websites make an excellent target for malicious attacks. Small businesses do not have the resources needed to effectively deal with attacks. Large and some mid-size organization have teams that are dedicated to dealing with security incidents and preventing future attacks. Most small businesses do not have the capabilities of dealing with incidents the way large organizations do. Security of e-commerce websites is essential for compliance with laws and regulations as well as gaining and maintaining the trust of consumers, partners and stakeholders. Many security standards have been established by various organizations to help guide security of small business servers, however, many of those standards or guidelines are too costly or time consuming. This paper1 will discuss how attacks are carried out and how a small business can effectively secure their networks with minimum cost.

In this paper, we identify a set of general IDS performance objectives which is the basis for the methodology. We present the details of the methodology, including strategies for test-case selection and specific testing procedures. We include quantitative results from testing experiments on the Network Security Monitor (NSM), an IDS developed at UC Davis. We present an overview of the software platform that we have used to create user-simulation scripts for testing experiments. The platform consists of the UNIX tool expect and enhancements that we have developed, including mechanisms for concurrent scripts and a record-and-replay feature. We also provide background information on intrusions and IDSs to motivate our work.

Information Security And The HealthcareTracy Berry
Information security and privacy are important in healthcare to securely share patient information. As healthcare organizations store vast amounts of sensitive data, they must implement robust information security practices. Hospitals in particular house critical healthcare data and tools that patients rely on, so protecting this information from computer viruses or infected devices is essential. Intrusion detection and prevention systems help monitor networks for threats, but healthcare organizations must also raise awareness of security risks and regularly evaluate firewall and router configurations to maintain strong defenses.
This document summarizes a research paper on developing a honey pot intrusion detection system. The paper introduces cyber warfare as a growing threat and the need for effective network security. It then describes designing and implementing a honey pot IDS to detect potential threats on a host system by emulating network services and monitoring connections. The IDS would use event correlation, log analysis, alerting and policy enforcement. The document provides background on intrusions, IDS testing methodology, and reasons why only creating secure systems is not enough to prevent all intrusions.

AbstractCloud computing technology has become the new fron.docxSALU18
Abstract
Cloud computing technology has become the new frontier in the computing world. The technology has massively impacted individuals and business across the world. However, the technology is faced with certain challenges. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the security challenges associated with cloud computing, including the respective threats and vulnerabilities. Additionally, the paper addresses the benefits, solutions, and recommendations of cloud computing technology.
Cloud Computing SecurityIntroduction
Over the last half of the century, the Information and Technology field has greatly evolved. Technology is very important to the different sectors of current society. Information, communication and technology (ICT) devices are dependent on one another and when one is disrupted, the rest may also be affected. In previous years, ICT experts have expressed their concern over the protection of ICT systems and cyber-attacks which have prompted them to consider the establishment of policies for the prevention of serious cybercrimes. They expect that in the years to come, these threats to ICT systems will increase significantly and affect several organizations. Cyber security is defined as the act of providing protection to ICT systems and what is contained in them. The term is broad and ambiguous; it tends to contradict the basic nature or scope of its meaning. In some occasions, it is integrated with other concepts such as privacy, the sharing of data and information, accumulation of intelligence and surveillance. Nevertheless, cyber security can be a very vital tool in the protection of privacy and the prevention of unauthorized access and sharing of information. For instance, cyber security facilitates a secured sharing of information amongst different systems within an organization. The focus of this paper is on the theme of vulnerability analysis. It will examine recent Insecurity controls among organizations and in the ICT sector.
Cloud computing technology has sparked a lot of debate in recent years. Proponents have expressed optimism with the technology, proclaiming it as the next frontier of the internet. However, critics believe the technology is short-lived because it is founded on old technologies. Cloud computing is an information technology phenomenon where computer services are provided over the internet. Additionally, cloud computing provides a number of IT solutions for businesses and therefore, significantly improves the quality of services. Cloud computing technology can be deployed in four main models: public, private, hybrid and community models. Conversely, the technology is recognized in different models that include Software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). SaaS, in particular, is a cloud computing model where applications are hosted remotely by a provider and accessed via the internet on a subscription basis. This paper will identify the sec.
Network Security and Privacy in Medium Scale Businesses in NigeriaINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. This study investigates a general framework for assessing the security and privacy of current networks. We ask a more general question: what security and privacy mechanisms are available to the medium sized businesses in Nigeria and to what extent have they utilized these mechanisms for the safety of organizational data. The study made use of both primary and secondary data sources. The primary source was a questionnaire administered to a total of 105 medium scale businesses in some of states i, Nigeria. The result showed that medium scale businesses in Nigeria store electronic data to a very high extent but lack the adequate hardware/software to prevent unauthorized access to electronically stored data. However, many of these companies do not have official policy as regards customer data privacy. In cases where they exist, customers are not aware of such policies. This study therefore recommends that government and regulatory bodies should give serious attention to network security and privacy of medium scale businesses in Nigeria. Network security standards should be set for any organization setting up or providing a wireless network. Government should also review existing data privacy laws and ensure that customers are aware of such laws before engaging in any transaction that involves giving aware their personal data to the third party.

Security Threats To Technology Industry
Some of the common security threats in the technology industry include;
Privilege escalation which entails structured software activities that in many times have problems that can be exploited and have the power to access data significantly from sites protected from unauthorized users or applications and cause damages.
A virus is the other threat which involves computer software which has the power to copy and cause problems to other devices.
The trojan threat also known as Trojan horses are structured activities that aim at authorizing hidden hackers to enter into a computer and affect services and cause data issues Veronica (Henry,2010) .
The bugs in the privilege escalation threat act by tolerating approach to specific resources with significant rights that can avoid security measures.
The virus threat is transferred via interconnected networks or sharing devices like USB and portable means.
The main role of adware is to improve the focus on the demonstration of web advertisements.

Cont,
Spyware is a threat that can enter into a computer device via downloaded software and collect significant user data by tracing the internet functions and transferring that to attacking components.
Adware is a threat that functions just like spyware by monitoring individuals activities in a computer through internet scanning actions.
Impacts of security threats
In the technology industry the threats mentioned above have led to impacts like;
Social media attacks where social attackers are influencing social platforms as a way to spread risks known as water holing.
They also cause a lack of encryption which is essential for guarding confidential data.
The threats also cause outdated security software making them unable to prevent information from attacks.
They also cause inadequate security technology with weak security.

Cloud Computing and Data Security
Introduction
In today's world, the movement of data is from a store that is severe and it is located centrally to the storage of cloud, services in the cloud offer the flexibility, scalability, and concerns that are proportionate that concerns the issue of security. Safety is an aspect that is important and it associated with the computing of cloud because information can be stored on the cloud by the users with the help of providers that works in the service of the cloud. In the security f data and computing of the cloud, there are some problems that are available. They include backups of data that is improper and inadequate that have caused organizations been among those that are vulnerable to threats that re-associated with security measures.
Data that is found in an organization and is stored in files that are encrypted are interfered by these threats. Problem found under these investigations is significant to this study and these show that the threats that emerge because of backups concerning data that is improper lead to an issue that is significant in the security of data in the computing cloud and also security concerning data.
The study tends to shows that security of data and computing of data leads to the provision of ways that helps in the protection of data that is private and also information that is classified away from such threats. That may include attacks in the cyber sector and losses that occur in case of disasters (Strategic Cyber Security, 2011). This study has limitations that state that assurance of security to the computing of cloud is not available and that there is no protection of data that is vital in an organization to a hundred percent.

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS): Systems (usually electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff, patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. (http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
· e-Prescribing: The electronic generation, transmission and filling of a medical prescription, as opposed to traditional paper and faxed prescriptions. E-prescribing allows for qualified healthcare personnel to transmit a new prescription or renewal authorization to a community or mail-order pharmacy.
· Home Health Care and Remote Monitoring Systems: Care provided to individuals and families in their place of residence for promoting, maintaining, or restoring health or for minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. In the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and Medicare claims and enrollment data, home health care refers to home visits by professionals including nu.

This document summarizes Jean Anyon's observations of 5 elementary schools that served different socioeconomic classes. In working-class schools, classroom activities focused on rote memorization and following procedures without explanation of underlying concepts. Work involved copying steps and notes from the board. In contrast, more affluent schools emphasized conceptual learning, creativity, and preparing students for professional careers through activities like experiments and projects. Anyon concluded schools were preparing students for different roles in the economy and society based on their social class.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

AbstractCloud computing technology has become the new fron.docxSALU18
Abstract
Cloud computing technology has become the new frontier in the computing world. The technology has massively impacted individuals and business across the world. However, the technology is faced with certain challenges. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the security challenges associated with cloud computing, including the respective threats and vulnerabilities. Additionally, the paper addresses the benefits, solutions, and recommendations of cloud computing technology.
Cloud Computing SecurityIntroduction
Over the last half of the century, the Information and Technology field has greatly evolved. Technology is very important to the different sectors of current society. Information, communication and technology (ICT) devices are dependent on one another and when one is disrupted, the rest may also be affected. In previous years, ICT experts have expressed their concern over the protection of ICT systems and cyber-attacks which have prompted them to consider the establishment of policies for the prevention of serious cybercrimes. They expect that in the years to come, these threats to ICT systems will increase significantly and affect several organizations. Cyber security is defined as the act of providing protection to ICT systems and what is contained in them. The term is broad and ambiguous; it tends to contradict the basic nature or scope of its meaning. In some occasions, it is integrated with other concepts such as privacy, the sharing of data and information, accumulation of intelligence and surveillance. Nevertheless, cyber security can be a very vital tool in the protection of privacy and the prevention of unauthorized access and sharing of information. For instance, cyber security facilitates a secured sharing of information amongst different systems within an organization. The focus of this paper is on the theme of vulnerability analysis. It will examine recent Insecurity controls among organizations and in the ICT sector.
Cloud computing technology has sparked a lot of debate in recent years. Proponents have expressed optimism with the technology, proclaiming it as the next frontier of the internet. However, critics believe the technology is short-lived because it is founded on old technologies. Cloud computing is an information technology phenomenon where computer services are provided over the internet. Additionally, cloud computing provides a number of IT solutions for businesses and therefore, significantly improves the quality of services. Cloud computing technology can be deployed in four main models: public, private, hybrid and community models. Conversely, the technology is recognized in different models that include Software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). SaaS, in particular, is a cloud computing model where applications are hosted remotely by a provider and accessed via the internet on a subscription basis. This paper will identify the sec.
Network Security and Privacy in Medium Scale Businesses in NigeriaINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. This study investigates a general framework for assessing the security and privacy of current networks. We ask a more general question: what security and privacy mechanisms are available to the medium sized businesses in Nigeria and to what extent have they utilized these mechanisms for the safety of organizational data. The study made use of both primary and secondary data sources. The primary source was a questionnaire administered to a total of 105 medium scale businesses in some of states i, Nigeria. The result showed that medium scale businesses in Nigeria store electronic data to a very high extent but lack the adequate hardware/software to prevent unauthorized access to electronically stored data. However, many of these companies do not have official policy as regards customer data privacy. In cases where they exist, customers are not aware of such policies. This study therefore recommends that government and regulatory bodies should give serious attention to network security and privacy of medium scale businesses in Nigeria. Network security standards should be set for any organization setting up or providing a wireless network. Government should also review existing data privacy laws and ensure that customers are aware of such laws before engaging in any transaction that involves giving aware their personal data to the third party.

Introduction
In industry technology, cryptography refers to a technology that has the power to perform significant functions in discoursing specific forms of data susceptibility to attack.
It involves computer system security together with its operation network safety which functions towards accomplishing common subjects.
Cryptography in the technology industry is used to secret information from attack by unofficial groups, mostly during the exchange of information through entities when it is most unprotected to interception (Deb, 2007) .
It ensure that data is secure and confidential to all activities in the technology industry.

Security Threats To Technology Industry
Some of the common security threats in the technology industry include;
Privilege escalation which entails structured software activities that in many times have problems that can be exploited and have the power to access data significantly from sites protected from unauthorized users or applications and cause damages.
A virus is the other threat which involves computer software which has the power to copy and cause problems to other devices.
The trojan threat also known as Trojan horses are structured activities that aim at authorizing hidden hackers to enter into a computer and affect services and cause data issues Veronica (Henry,2010) .
The bugs in the privilege escalation threat act by tolerating approach to specific resources with significant rights that can avoid security measures.
The virus threat is transferred via interconnected networks or sharing devices like USB and portable means.
The main role of adware is to improve the focus on the demonstration of web advertisements.

Cont,
Spyware is a threat that can enter into a computer device via downloaded software and collect significant user data by tracing the internet functions and transferring that to attacking components.
Adware is a threat that functions just like spyware by monitoring individuals activities in a computer through internet scanning actions.
Impacts of security threats
In the technology industry the threats mentioned above have led to impacts like;
Social media attacks where social attackers are influencing social platforms as a way to spread risks known as water holing.
They also cause a lack of encryption which is essential for guarding confidential data.
The threats also cause outdated security software making them unable to prevent information from attacks.
They also cause inadequate security technology with weak security.
Countermeasure
Some of the fundamental countermeasures the technology industry uses include;
Ensuring strong password management
Employing firm security guards
Applying access management around an operating system
The sector also involves the implementation of important input/output systems known as BIOS password
Additionally, it also offers security awareness t.

Cloud Computing and Data Security
Introduction
In today's world, the movement of data is from a store that is severe and it is located centrally to the storage of cloud, services in the cloud offer the flexibility, scalability, and concerns that are proportionate that concerns the issue of security. Safety is an aspect that is important and it associated with the computing of cloud because information can be stored on the cloud by the users with the help of providers that works in the service of the cloud. In the security f data and computing of the cloud, there are some problems that are available. They include backups of data that is improper and inadequate that have caused organizations been among those that are vulnerable to threats that re-associated with security measures.
Data that is found in an organization and is stored in files that are encrypted are interfered by these threats. Problem found under these investigations is significant to this study and these show that the threats that emerge because of backups concerning data that is improper lead to an issue that is significant in the security of data in the computing cloud and also security concerning data.
The study tends to shows that security of data and computing of data leads to the provision of ways that helps in the protection of data that is private and also information that is classified away from such threats. That may include attacks in the cyber sector and losses that occur in case of disasters (Strategic Cyber Security, 2011). This study has limitations that state that assurance of security to the computing of cloud is not available and that there is no protection of data that is vital in an organization to a hundred percent.

Intrusion Detection Techniques In Mobile NetworksIOSR Journals
This document discusses intrusion detection techniques for mobile networks. It begins by outlining the vulnerabilities of wireless networks, including the open medium, dynamic topology, lack of centralized monitoring, and cooperative algorithms. It then explains the need for intrusion detection systems, as completely preventing intrusions is unrealistic. The document classifies intrusion detection systems and outlines their requirements, including continuous monitoring, fault tolerance, and adaptability. It concludes by describing the two main techniques of intrusion detection: anomaly detection, which flags deviations from a normal activity profile; and misuse detection, which searches for patterns matching known attacks.
This document summarizes security challenges and recommendations for securing e-commerce systems for small businesses. It discusses common attacks such as port scanning, social engineering, malware and denial of service attacks. It recommends implementing standards like ISO 17799 for asset classification, access control and policies. Overall the document provides an overview of security threats faced by small businesses and low-cost methods to protect their networks and sensitive information.

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS): Systems (usually electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff, patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. (http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
· e-Prescribing: The electronic generation, transmission and filling of a medical prescription, as opposed to traditional paper and faxed prescriptions. E-prescribing allows for qualified healthcare personnel to transmit a new prescription or renewal authorization to a community or mail-order pharmacy.
· Home Health Care and Remote Monitoring Systems: Care provided to individuals and families in their place of residence for promoting, maintaining, or restoring health or for minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. In the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and Medicare claims and enrollment data, home health care refers to home visits by professionals including nu.

Culture, by definition, is rooted in place with a reciprocal relationship between people and place
Culture:
“Place tilled” in Middle English
Colere : “to inhabit, care for, till, worship” in Latin
In the context of globalization, what is the relationship between culture and place?
Culture is both placed and displaced

Cultural Space
The communicative practices that construct meanings in, through and about particular places
Cultural space shapes verbal and nonverbal communicative practices
i.e. Classrooms, dance club, library.
Cultural spaces are constructed through the communicative practices developed and lived by people in particular places
Communicative practices include:
The languages, accents, slang, dress, artifacts, architectural design, the behaviors and patterns of interaction, the stories, the discourses and histories
How is the cultural space of your home, neighborhood, city, and state constructed through communicative practices?

Place, Cultural Space and Identity
Place, Culture, Identity and Difference
What’s the relationship between place and identity?
Avowed identity:
The way we see, label and make meaning about ourselves and
Ascribed identity:
The way others view, name and describe us and our group
Examples of how avowed and ascribed identities may conflict?
How is place related to standpoint and power?
Locations of enunciation:
Sites or positions from which to speak.
A platform from which to voice a perspective and be heard and/or silenced.

This document summarizes Jean Anyon's observations of 5 elementary schools that served different socioeconomic classes. In working-class schools, classroom activities focused on rote memorization and following procedures without explanation of underlying concepts. Work involved copying steps and notes from the board. In contrast, more affluent schools emphasized conceptual learning, creativity, and preparing students for professional careers through activities like experiments and projects. Anyon concluded schools were preparing students for different roles in the economy and society based on their social class.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

(1) How does quantum cryptography eliminate the problem of eaves.docxAASTHA76
Quantum cryptography eliminates eavesdropping by using the principles of quantum mechanics, where any interception of encrypted information can be detected. However, quantum cryptography has limitations in the distance over which it can be effectively implemented and requires specialized equipment. Developments in both theoretical and applied cryptography will be influenced by advances in computing power, communication technologies, user needs for security and privacy, and socioeconomic or geopolitical factors.

10 Event Trends for 2019
I am very glad to welcome you to the 8th edition of our annual
event trends. This is going to be a different one.
One element that made our event trends stand out from
the thousands of reports and articles on the topic is that we
don’t care about pleasing companies, pundits, suppliers, star
planners and the likes. Our only focus is you, the reader, to
help you navigate through very uncertain times.
This is why I decided to bring back this report, by far the most
popular in the industry, to its roots. 10 trends that will actually
materialize between now and November 2019, when we will
publish edition number nine.
I feel you have a lot going on, with your events I mean.
F&B, room blocks, sponsorship, marketing security, technology.
I think I failed you in previous editions. I think I gave you too
much. This report will be the most concise and strategic piece
of content you will need for next year.
If you don’t read anything else this year, it’s fine. As long as you
read the next few words.

// Function: void parse(char *line, char **argv)
// Purpose : This function takes in a null terminated string pointed to by
// <line>. It also takes in an array of pointers to char <argv>.
// When the function returns, the string pointed to by the
// pointer <line> has ALL of its whitespace characters (space,
// tab, and newline) turned into null characters ('\0'). The
// array of pointers to chars will be modified so that the zeroth
// slot will point to the first non-null character in the string
// pointed to by <line>, the oneth slot will point to the second
// non-null character in the string pointed to by <line>, and so
// on. In other words, each subsequent pointer in argv will point
// to each subsequent "token" (characters separated by white space)
// IN the block of memory stored at the pointer <line>. Since all
// the white space is replaced by '\0', every one of these "tokens"
// pointed to by subsequent entires of argv will be a valid string
// The "last" entry in the argv array will be set to NULL. This
// will mark the end of the tokens in the string.
//
void parse(char *line, char **argv)
{
// We will assume that the input string is NULL terminated. If it
// is not, this code WILL break. The rewriting of whitespace characters
// and the updating of pointers in argv are interleaved. Basically
// we do a while loop that will go until we run out of characters in
// the string (the outer while loop that goes until '\0'). Inside
// that loop, we interleave between rewriting white space (space, tab,
// and newline) with nulls ('\0') AND just skipping over non-whitespace.
// Note that whenever we encounter a non-whitespace character, we record
// that address in the array of address at argv and increment it. When
// we run out of tokens in the string, we make the last entry in the array
// at argv NULL. This marks the end of pointers to tokens. Easy, right?
while (*line != '\0') // outer loop. keep going until the whole string is read
{ // keep moving forward the pointer into the input string until
// we encounter a non-whitespace character. While we're at it,
// turn all those whitespace characters we're seeing into null chars.
while (*line == ' ' || *line == '\t' || *line == '\n' || *line == '\r')
{ *line = '\0';
line++;
}
// If I got this far, I MUST be looking at a non-whitespace character,
// or, the beginning of a token. So, let's record the address of this
// beginning of token to the address I'm pointing at now. (Put it in *argv)

Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America and its affiliates (the National Council), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net
assets, of functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

The executive summary, and the importance of the wireless
technology:
The Wireless is wider communication type which means
synchronous connecting to many
devices via single modems without wires. IT has many
advantages; like the following:
� It connects many devices remotely and in the same time; like
the connections of the wireless
PC, wireless laptop, wireless printer, and wireless phone at the
3. same time with the single
wireless router.
� Its signals can access all the locations, especially to the
locations that impossible accessed via
the wires.
� It eliminates the dangerous of the wires in the home.
� It eliminates the cost of the wires.

� The continuous connection between the device and the
Internet, without reactivate the
connection every time.
All these good points in wireless connectivity make
research on this topic is important. So, it
will research about the SWOT analysis of this technology to
improve this communication type. Then,
it will explain some ethical and legal concerns that related with
the wireless connection with the
mitigation mechanisms. Next, the evolution of this technology

world.blogspot.com, 2009).
SWOT Analysis:
SWOT analysis Which refers to the Strength, Weakness,
Threats, and Opportunities. It is
the assessment tool that used to analyze the external and
internal business factors in order to
assess, and improve the products, or services of this business.
The external factors include the
Threats and opportunities; while the internal factors include the
Strengths and Weaknesses. The
strengths are the good characteristics, and the weakness are the
bad characteristics; while the
threats are the vulnerabilities of the bad points, and the
opportunities are the good points that can
be exploited by the manufacturers to enhance the products or
the services. (Harmon et al., 2015).
The Wireless technology is like any other services have
many characteristics with many
threats and opportunities. So, the SWOT analysis to the
Wireless service as the following:
5. � The strengths:
TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
4
� It is free wire connection.
� It has Global coverage.
� It has the ability to access all the locations, especially the
places that couldn't be
accessed by the wires.
� It has a flexible connection for many devices at the same
time, with the ability to
improve the connection.
� It is used widely by many devices, satellite, wireless LAN
WLAN, Pans, mobile
telephone, laptops, cellular phones, GPS, remote garage-door
opener, etc.
� It is cheaper and easier to be maintained than the wire
connection.
� Weaknesses:
6. � Its infrastructures are expensive.
� It is affected by the physical obstructions, and weather
conditions.
� Sometimes, the interference occurs between many devices.
� The big effort is needed to safe the wireless connection.
(Maru, 2014).
� Opportunities:
� There are many opportunities to resolve the wireless threats;
protecting the
enterprise connection.
� It can find a policy framework for determining the protection
requirements,
administration features, and so on.
� Protecting the sensitive data by many defensive mechanisms.
TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
5
� Threats:
� The security and privacy issues are very big threats (like the
Denial of Service
7. DoS, and eavesdropping), and the biggest challenges of the
wireless technology,
especially the growth of this problem is continuous. (Mathias,
2006).
An ethical and legal concerns:
There are many ethical and legal concerns with the using
to the Wireless technology, and
every one of these issues because of many reasons and from
many sources. The followings are
these ethical and legal concerns:
� The privacy: Keeping the personal information is a big
challenge with the wireless
connection. The medical healthcare record is one of the sources
that contain the personal
information about the patients. So, it must protect these
documents away from an
intrusion or hacking tries. The using of the security defensive
mechanisms (like the
antivirus, firewalls, IDS, etc.) is one of these protection types.
Also, it can let the patients
to access their documents directly to keep their privacy.)
� The security: It is a very big issue that needs several defense
mechanisms. The using of
8. the wireless means unlimited access to the resources and
locations. Also, it means the
access to the personal information and sensitive data can be
remote without the physical
entry. There are many sources of the security problem with the
wireless communication;
like the Internet connection, the Web-based access, the
unauthorized access, the
authentication, the viruses, the application, etc. every one of
these threats need to be
TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
6
resolved by many procedures and steps that must be used by the
users and companies.
(Ameen et al., 2012).
The security issue and its avoidance (with detail):
The Wireless connection is very big security challenge
because of its free connection (no
physical connection), unlimited access to the information, and
many other reasons. There are
9. many threats kinds that must be known to prevented or
mitigated by many security defense
mechanisms:
� Threats:
� Access control attack: It is the attack that tries to access the
network by the
wireless devices; like the MAC spoofing, Wardriving, etc.
� Confidentiality attack that can be used to access the private
or sensitive
information when it transmitted over the Internet.
Eavesdropping and Man in the
middle are the examples of this attack.
� Integrity attack is the attack that alters the information by
controlling the wireless
connections; for example, the Denial of Service DoS attack.
� Authentication attack is used by the intruders to steal the
account information of
the users to be used in another time to access the private
network. The login
cracking, and VPN cracking are examples of this attack.
10. TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
7
� Availability attack is used to deny the user access to the
information or services or
idle these sources that accessed by the users, like using the
Denial of Service
attack. (Phifer, 2009).
The following are some countermeasures for mitigating
practices to prevent the
vulnerabilities and threats from occurring:
� The Authentication vulnerability can be avoided by applying
a strong session
management; like the choosing a strong password did not permit
the system to remember
the account information, making the log out from the system
correctly, and keeping the
expire date.
� The injection attack can be avoided by ensuring from any
data before inputting it, to
prevent any exploiting to any data by the hacker.
� It can mitigate the risk of the Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
11. attack by being aware of any
link that must be trusted, and it did not have any special
characters.
� Also, it can protect any Sensitive data from any exposure by
using the strong algorithm to
save the password, using the encryption algorithms, and delete
any additional data that is
not needed.
� Lastly, Invalidated redirects and forwards and using the sites
with unknown
vulnerabilities can be avoided by preventing the using of the
forwards and redirects links,
and it must use only the trusted webs. (Gregory, 2009).
TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
8
Also, there are some defense mechanisms to keep the
security of the business, like the
following:
� The policies are some guidelines for some procedures and
items that must be followed by
12. all the managers, employees, and administrators to keep the
security. For examples of the
policy, items are deleting all unused data, limiting the
legitimating for everyone in the
company, etc.
� The awareness and education programs are the rules of some
practices like the preventing
the open to any suspicious link.
� The Mitigating to the vulnerabilities by some practices, such
as the patch management,
access control management, least privilege, and so on.
� Mitigating the threats by some principles: "organizations
should perform threat
mitigation to detect and stop malware before it can affect its
targets. This section
describes several types of security tools that can mitigate
malware threats: anti-virus
software, spyware detection and removal utilities, intrusion
prevention systems (IPS), and
firewalls and routers." (Mell et al., 2005, pg. 3.6).
The Wireless technology evolution:
In the last years, an enormous evolution has occurred in
13. the communication services,
especially with the Wireless connection.
TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
9
� It is supported in all smartphones. Many new standards
appeared; like the 802.11ac
which increases the data bandwidth in the mobile devices with
higher capacity. Also, the
appearing of the 802.11ad that is the multi-Gigabit in the short
range. Then, the 802.11ah
was created to increase the battery life with the smart and
sensor home. One of the big
achievements in the wireless is the solving to the traffic
problem that increases the
throughput and data access. Therefore, the next generation of
the wireless (802.11ac) is
3x throughput than the previous one, lower latency, and more
bandwidth of the data.
� It became the center of the smart home, by the Universal
technology. The home was
14. provided by many services (like, the Multimedia, various home
operations, Life
management, and Bring Your Own Device BYOD technique.),
and was connected via the
smart gateway to the Cloud computing technique.
� And, it opened the door for many new applications and
services. (www.qualcomm.com,
2014).
The future of the Wireless technology:
The future of the Wireless technology is the competition
to the wireless alternatives (like
the Bluetooth). It will create the new standards to compete for
these alternatives in order to be
used by the products that use the IoT Internet of Things, and
machine to machine applications.
The new standards are HaLow (802.11ha) will join the WiFi AC
(802.11ac), and WiGig
(802.11ad). The WiGig uses the shorter bandwidth of the data
(60 GHz) but with faster access
than the previous standard. Now, the HaLow will use the
shortest bandwidth of data which is
15. TERM PAPER: NETWORKING
10
(900 MHz) with the fastest access. “But it's conceivable that the
same underlying concepts could
be applied to new flavors of Wi-Fi -- for example, controlling
the Wi-Fi ac and WiGig devices
and new Wi-Fi HaLow machines permitted to connect to
corporate WLANs and carrier
networks, respectively.” (Phifer, 2016).

21. mobile as a way of life.
Expectations are shifting requiring all industries to meet these
needs through multichannel
mobile interaction methods. As these changes take place, people
in society are frequently
changing their attitudes, goals and requirements from all
enterprises. Society is embracing digital
technologies more than ever demanding a more convenient
online experience. Industries are
being challenged to develop technical strategies to simplify
daily tasks that are faster, more
secure and more contextual.
Although mobile-savvy individuals want ubiquitous access,
businesses have struggled to
provide pure-mobile services due to challenges related to
security, providing always-on
connectivity and replicating the online experience. Technical
capabilities have become so
sophisticated that stationary devices i.e. telephones, facsimile
(fax) machines, computers and
other communication devices connected to wires to power
sources and telecommunication
networks are ever-present in many industries. The primary
challenge is to develop affordable,
22. reliable, widespread capabilities for untethered
communications. By relating and combining the
attributes of wireless and mobile technologies it will enhance
the individuals online experience.
Therefore, wireless technology is the link for mobile
communication.
This paper will focus on how wireless technology has evolved
in today’s society in
addition to the role it plays in wireless communications and
networking solutions. Some of the
current trends and future applications will be examined and
addressed through a SWOT analysis
to identify the current state of wireless technologies and the
effects it has on network security
3
issues and networking solutions. It will examine the ethical and
legal concerns governing
wireless technology. The prediction of how communication
technology will play a role in the
future and improvements for both personal and commercial use
23. will be explained. Time
management in the workplace and identifying employee rights
to spend personal time on social
media sites on company time will be also addressed.
Introduction
Wireless Technology is among biggest contributions to today’s
society. Wireless
technologies are now more attractive than ever in terms of their
performance, quality and cost.
In today’s society life is managed on the go desiring the ability
to access and transact business in
real-time from any mobile device. The growth of wireless
network has achieved that goal and
has enabled capabilities for the use of personal devices
anywhere and anytime. This has helped
play a role in the future of technology as the evolution of
technology is constantly changing.
The term wireless refers to communications sent without wires
or cables. It is the process
of sending information through invisible waves in the air.
Information such as data, voice, and
video are carried through the radio frequency of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Some of the
24. devices used for wireless communication are cordless
telephones, mobiles, GPS units, wireless
computer parts, and satellite television.
The strong public demand for wireless services is fueling
intense industrial and
government activity, including research and development
(R&D) aimed at improving the quality
and reducing costs of wireless technology, design of innovative
systems and services, and
implementation of new technical standards and policies. This
dynamic environment is producing
diverse wireless technologies and standards, in stark contrast to
other areas of communications
4
marked by a convergence toward uniformity. All this activity
will bring the reality of the next
century close to the vision of "anytime, anywhere"
communications. (Council, 1997)
Driving the evolution of wireless broadband technology is
customers’ increasing
25. expectations for speed, bandwidth and global access. Customers
today are connected 24/7 via
their wireless devices and want immediate access to the
applications and content they use most:
business productivity tools, streaming video, social networking
and more. The desire for instant
access creates a need for greater bandwidth, improved
responsiveness and faster upload and
download speeds than was offered by previous generations of
wireless technologies. Wireless
carriers’ networks need to function more like landline IP-based
networks to achieve the speeds
and connectedness customers have come to expect.
SWOT Analysis
In business, several elements must be considered, one of which
is most important is
conducting a SWOT analysis. SWOT is an acronym that stands
Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats. “A SWOT analysis is an organized
list of your business’s strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats. (Berry, 2014)
Weaknesses and strengths represent the
core factors of the company while opportunities and threats
represent the external factors. The
26. analysis is part of the initial planning process to determine what
is needed to sustain the business
and meet mission and vision statements.
The importance of conducting an internal and external
comprehensive analysis serves to
identify the internal and external strengths and weaknesses of
the business model. All wireless
technologies past, present and future have strengths and
weaknesses because each technology
has been or will be developed to solve a particular problem. In
order for a SWOT analysis to be
5
conducted the organization must be able to understand how the
company operates and know its
strengths and weaknesses.
Addressing a company’s strengths should be conducted from
internal and external
perspective that expresses the customer’s views and needs.
Once the strengths are established
27. then the weaknesses of the company need to be addressed and
determine what needs to be
improved and what is contributing to losses that is affecting the
company’s sales and revenue.
“Weaknesses are aspects of your business that detract from the
value you offer or place you at a
competitive disadvantage.” (Berry, 2014)
Weaknesses can be overcome by using effective strategic
planning that will allow the
company to make the necessary adjustments. “Weaknesses are
aspects of your business that
detract from the value you offer or place you at a competitive
disadvantage.” (Berry, 2014) To
maximize growth, profitability remaining competitive and
minimizing risk, organizations must
continually monitor internal and external environmental factors
and adjust their strategy
accordingly. To do that, it's important to know what the internal
and external factors can consist
of in addition to, what is needed to sustain the business and
meet organizational goals.
Ethical and Legal Concerns Surrounding Wireless
Communication
An important concern with any new technology is deciding how
28. current laws deal with
new issues that this new generation of products might raise.
Several actions that used to be taken
for granted now can possibly be perceived as illegal. With the
market for wireless applications
and hardware growing at a phenomenal rate, as with most new
technologies that gains market
acceptance, the deployment phase is usually followed by the
discovery of security issues.
6
The legal and ethical issues pertinent to the use of cell phones,
PDAs and other
telecommunication mobile devices are evolving as rapidly as
technology itself. Issues center
around using these devices in a manner that respects the rights,
safety and privacy of others.
Legal concerns about misuse of e-mail and the Internet relate to
liability and privacy. Most
employers want to trust employees and respect their privacy,
however they fear the organization
29. will be liable for the content of e-mail messages. Gossip,
derogatory comments, lewd or obscene
messages or graphics, harassing messages, or any number of
other things can be retrieved from
e-mail files and used as evidence. Having such messages
originate within the workplace
negatively affects the organization’s responsibility for a
harassment free environment and could
ultimately tarnish their image and decrease productivity.
The fear of litigation and the concern over wasted time prompts
some organizations to
monitor staff use of electronic resources. Special network and
software programs exist just for
this purpose. The Electronic Privacy Act gives an employer the
right to access an employee’s e-
mail and voicemail messages that are maintained on a system
provided by the employer. To
eliminate this fear and improve awareness, clear policies on the
use of electronic company
resources are developed and become a part of the hiring
process.
Another privacy issue includes Internet research. Technology
makes it feasible to gather
information about computer users without their knowledge or
30. permission. This practice many
consider to be unethical and an invasion of individual privacy.
Objections arise because
advertisers on the Internet may secure information from sites to
track ones’ preferences and
online shopping habits. To alleviate concerns about cookies,
organizations frequently include a
7
privacy statement on their Web sites that explains the type of
information that will be gathered
and its use.
Company Time
An employer has the right to monitor all employees who utilize
company resources on
the network during company time. Social networking has made
it easy for employees to
communicate and share information with colleagues, connect
with customers, and advertise for
the business. Employees are able to remotely connect to the
company’s network and still have
31. the same access to social media sites to include Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter to share
information. Employees have a right to privacy, however not on
company time. “Unfortunately,
American and international laws do not directly address social
networking site usage” (Coco,
Kaupins, Little, 2012, p.1). Employees should be aware and
limit the amount of time spent on
social networking sites, unless it is work-related. Corporate
policies on social networking should
provide clear, concise direction to as a part of security
awareness to all employees to govern
usage. Corporate policies should also provide consistent
monitoring of employees with constant
reminders or notifications routinely as a form of policy
enforcement.
Technology Improvements
Radio systems, such as mobile phones and wireless internet
connections, have become an
integral part of modern life. However, today's devices use twice
as much of the radio spectrum as
is necessary. New technology is being developed that could
fundamentally change radio design
32. and could increase data rates and network capacity, reduce
power consumption, create cheaper
devices and enable global roaming.
8
This important change in radio design could offer a range of
benefits. In Wi-Fi systems
this would double the capacity of a Wi-Fi access point, allowing
more users and higher data
rates. For cellular systems, full-duplex operation would also
deliver increased capacity and data
rates, or alternatively the network operators could provide the
same total network capacity with
fewer base station sites, giving obvious benefits in the cost and
environmental impact of running
the network.
In today's mobile devices, a separate filtering component is
required for each frequency
band, and because of this, today's mobiles phone do not support
all of the frequency channels
which are in use across the world. Different devices are
33. manufactured for different regions of the
world, and there are currently no 4G phones capable of
unrestricted global roaming. Replacing
these filters with the research team's duplexer circuit would
create smaller and cheaper devices,
and would allow manufacturers to produce a single model for
the entire world. This would
enable global roaming on 4G and would further decrease cost
through greater economies of
scale.
Future Role of Wireless Technology for Personal and
Commercial Use
Wireless technology is a powerful tool utilized to aid in
boosting productivity and
encouraging information sharing. With untethered access to
documents, emails, applications and
other network resources, employees can travel where they need
to and have constant access to
the tools required to do their jobs. Some of the ways both
individuals and businesses alike are
taking advantage of wireless technology through increased
mobility and collaboration, improved
responsiveness, better access to information and easier network
scalability.
34. 9
Wireless communication technology gives mobile access to
information through a variety
of portable communication devices. Organizations and
individuals alike are increasingly
dependent on computers and other technology devices to handle
the volume and complexity of
information communicated through daily operations. In years to
come, all aspects of wireless
communications are subject to rapid change globally. These
changes include rapidly expanding
public demand for products and services, major changes in
government policies, emergence of a
variety of new systems for delivering communications services
to wireless terminals and
profound changes in communications industries as evidenced by
mergers, alliances involving
some the world’s largest corporations. Beyond the enduring
need for improved efficiency, there
are two key technology developments, neither of which is
35. particularly unique to wireless, that are
expected to continue to fuel the advancement of wireless
technologies for the foreseeable future:
cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
With the development of cloud computing, data has become
mobile, transferable, and
instantly accessible. Cloud computing refers to a network model
in which applications reside on
network servers and are accessed from end clients. Cloud
computing typically relies heavily on
the concept of virtualization, where servers may actually be
virtual appliances and an actual
physical device may be hosting many virtual appliances. To end
users, it may appear as if they
are accessing a physical server, but in reality they are accessing
a piece of software that is
emulating a physical server. This concept of virtualization
allows for significant network
abstraction and rapid reconfiguration to meet user needs.
Although cloud computing is an incredibly powerful concept for
information technology,
this trend has placed enormous strain on the communications
infrastructure. It has also presented
36. 10
security risks, regulatory compliance, and connectivity and
availability issues as a concern that
still prevents some businesses from adopting the use of cloud
technology. With end users
increasingly accessing both applications and content from the
cloud, their bandwidth
consumption has significantly increased.
Cloud computing is expected to increase, and combined with
increasing user mobility
and mobile computing, this trend will continue to place strain
on wireless communications
infrastructure. Cloud computing is one of the main reasons we
expect the time frame between
major commercial technology releases to continue to shorten.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the vision of connecting devices
that can generate data
and information that can be accessed from anywhere via the
Internet. This connectivity allows
governments, businesses, and individuals to make data-driven
37. decisions in real time. The most
common view of the IoT refers to the persistent inclusion of
Internet connectivity, usually
wireless, in common everyday objects.
In the Internet of Things (IoT) model, Internet connectivity
extends beyond traditional
devices such as laptops and smartphones to include everyday
items such as refrigerators,
microwave ovens, dishwashers, thermostats, automobiles, and
road signs. Micro-
electromechanical systems (MEMS) are embedded into objects
to enable communication and
interaction with the environment. These objects can range from
humans with implanted medical
devices to controllers in oil refineries. Current projections
estimate tens of billions of devices
will be connected to the Internet by 2020, and wireless
technology will be a key enabler.
11
38. Conclusion
Cconsumer demand is stimulating many advances in wireless
communications
technology. The future of wireless technology is significant as
it represents the frontier of
communication. However, determining which wireless
technologies should be used in the future
has become an increasingly daunting endeavor considering the
variety of options available.
Innovation and integration of mobile and wireless technologies
are an on-going process, which
have given shape to the industry.
Wireless technology is a part of the past, present and future.
