What you post could have a bigger "audience" than you think. Even if you use privacy settings, it's impossible to completely control who sees your social networking profile, pictures, videos, or texts. Before you click "send," think about how you will feel if your family, teachers, coaches, or neighbors find it. • Once you post information online, you can't take it back. You may think that yo…
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) has recently emerged as a vibrant research endeavor shaping our view of future computing and its role in society. While the inception point of AmI could always be argued about, it becomes apparent today that AmI has emerged and established itself as a result of a vivid synergy between several essential components such as- ubiquitous or pervasive computing, intelligent…
Wireless networking is widely used in everybody’s daily lives. Nevertheless, not everyone has considered the reasons for such increasing utilization and nor have they understood the consequences. In this introduction, we provide a brief background regarding wireless networking evolution and the main scenarios where these networks are currently deployed.
In this paper, we survey recent work on peer-to-peer systems, and venture some opinions about future requirements for research. The paper is a survey to support the tutorial at the Networks 2002 Conference and is therefore neither complete, nor likely to be up-to-date by the time you are reading this, since the topic was extremely fast- evolving at the time of writing. Instead, we try to bring …

Wireless LANs, a term that was formerly known only to a few, has in a short period of a couple of years become a layperson’s term. The market penetration has been as unexpected as the growth of mobile communications and the Internet in the boom era. This growth has obviously been due to the benefits of wireless local area networks (WLANs), e.g., ease of deployment, low cost, and flexibility. …

The past year has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of social information published in RDF documents. Our investigations [1, 2] show that the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) on- tology [3] is among the most used semantic web ontologies. This is true if we measure the number of semantic web documents (SWDs) that use the FOAF namespace, as Table I shows, or the number of triples using FOAF terms. …
Distance education as a primary means of instruction is expanding significantly at the college and university level. Simultaneously, the growth of social networking sites (SNS) including Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace is also rising among today’s college students. An increasing number of higher education instructors are beginning to combine distance education delivery with SNSs. However, …
