This study examines several important factors of Internet usage and postal service performance in Australia from 2006 to 2010, using data from secondary sources. The results on Internet usage indicate increasing trends in domain name registrations, Internet user population, Internet usage duration, and e-commerce value. On the other hand, the results on postal service performance show stagnating trends...
Vertical search engines use focused crawlers as their key component and develops some specific algorithms to select web pages relevant to some pre-defined set of topics. Therefore, to effectively build up a semantic pattern for specific topics is extremely important to such search engines. Crawlers are software which can traverse the internet and retrieve web pages by hyperlinks. Here we propose an...
World Wide Web is hosting huge information regarding lots of areas and education is not an exception. Given the huge amount of data, searching for any educational resource manually is very difficult. To overcome this, an intelligent repository of educational resources that helps to decide among the available resources is needed. This paper discusses an attempt to build such repository. This will help...
We present a centralized integrated approach, ADWISER, for (i) managing an Internet access link bandwidth, and (ii) for enhancing the performance of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Our single-box approach is an extension to our previous work, where we focused on meeting TCP performance objectives over WLANs. In this work, we present a novel cascaded packet scheduling algorithm to address the issue of unfair...
Many services taken for granted in the developed world are often missing from the developing countries. One typical example is that of map systems that form the basis of several location driven services. Its heavy reliance on content, provides a huge barrier towards building such systems. Further, in developing countries like India, the infrastructure typically has a history of unplanned development,...
83% of the world population does not have access to Internet. Therefore there is a need for a simple and affordable interaction technology that can enable easy content creation and dissemination for this population. In this paper, we present the design, development and usage pattern of a VoiKiosk system that provides a voice-based kiosk solution for people in rural areas. This system is accessible...
This research paper examines the standing of wireless technology in higher education institutes located in a number of regions around the world. In this paper 33 higher education institutes have been surveyed to find out the current level of wireless development. Institutes were surveyed on wireless services provided, the number access points, the coverage area, level of growth, the impact of installing...
wildCENSE is a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system which attempts to monitor the behaviour and migration patterns of Barasingha (Swamp Deer). The system would collect the micro-climatic as well as positional information of the animal and communicate it to a base station through flooding of data using peer-to-peer network. The base station, using a gateway, will upload all the collected data to a...
We propose a technique for summarizing Web reviews. Information summarization has become an important problem in the current content saturated world. One such example is the World Wide Web which provides a platform to publish and evaluate information. This collaborative nature of the Web has enabled users to write their opinion on certain topics and also evaluate others' opinions by assigning ranks...
Unlike ad hoc networks where traffic is randomly distributed among every pair of nodes, the traffic in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is predominantly toward or from the Internet Gateways (IGWs)for Internet services. Due to this, interference and collision are more serious in the Mesh Router (MRs) closer to the IGWs and the Internet throughput of the network is limited by the number of orthogonal channels...
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the standard protocol for exchanging routing information between border routers of Autonomous Systems (ASes) in today's Internet. Within an AS, border routers exchange externally-learned BGP route advertisements via Internal-BGP (I-BGP) peerings. Naive solutions for these I-BGP peering sessions (e.g., based on full-mesh topologies) simply cannot scale to the sizes...
The need for having interoperable systems despite the presence of heterogeneous platforms has resulted in tremendous growth and acceptance of Web services in recent years. This success of Web services technology is fueling research efforts towards generalization into a science for service oriented computing (SOC). However, beyond the basic publish-find-bind model there is not much consensus yet on...
A wireless health recording and alert system for use by the elderly, athletes in training and firefighters has been devised and implemented. The system has a number of features that can be customized according to the user and type of service required. System consists of three units, i.e. sensor unit, base unit and server unit. The sensor unit basically measures a few physiological parameters in an...
