The Domain Name System (DNS) is used almost everywhere in mobile networks to determine the IP addresses of the network elements and thanks to the DNS architecture of the inter-operator IP backbone network, a network element of a public mobile network (PMN) can easily determine IP addresses of any other PMN. The analysis of some customers' complaints showed that it could be the cause of billing mistakes...
HTTP adaptive streaming is used by a numerous video streaming services in the internet. It facilitates video streaming through heterogeneous network, without the need of a dictated streaming infrastructure. The benefit of HTTP Adaptive Streaming, compared to classical HTTP, is the reduction of the interruption, i.e. stalling event, and the use of bandwidth. This technology tries to adapt the video...
The aim of this study is to construct a system for pre-processing a text, including tokenization and correction of statements from social network, in order to adapt them for further extraction of information and sentiment analysis. Correction algorithm uses dictionary methods, statistical methods and rules-based approach. The system was tested on 50 statements including different kinds of errors....
Machine Translation (MT) has progressively evolved since 1940's. It is a topic of active research now a days as the results found so far from machine translation tools are very unrealistic as compared to the human translation. Many different new approaches and techniques have evolved along with the new advent in machine translation. There are different paradigm of machine translation including Statistics...
Literature recommender systems support users in filtering the vast and increasing number of documents in digital libraries and on the Web. For academic literature, research has proven the ability of citation-based document similarity measures, such as Co-Citation (CoCit), or Co-Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) to improve recommendation quality. In this paper, we report on the first large-scale investigation...
Community Question-Answering (CQA), where questions and answers are generated by peers, has become a popular method of information seeking in online environments. While the content repositories created through CQA sites have been used widely to support general purpose tasks, using them as online digital libraries that support educational needs is an emerging practice. Horizontal CQA services, such...
In recent years, with the continuous development and transmission of micro-blogs. people do more research on analyzing the emotional tendency of short texts. Ignoring the context information, traditional emotional analysis methods on micro-blog are limited in a tweet itself. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a method of emotional tendency analysis which based on view of the context. Firstly,...
To design a secure system we need to understand its possible threats, more specifically we need to understand how the components of the architecture are compromised and used by an attacker in order to fulfill his objectives and how the attack proceeds through these units. We can do this using misuse patterns, an artifact we have introduced in earlier work. Threat modeling of IT systems has been widely...
Quantifying the semantic relation between words is a key element in several applications including the treatments at the meaning level. A great variety of approaches are proposed in order to quantify the semantic proximity between concepts or words. These approaches exploit computational models including the hierarchical and textual information of the semantic resources. Among these models, the distributional...
The emergence of the internet as a global, borderless communication platform afforded a wide range ofsocial and economic opportunities to people throughout theworld. Criminals have exploited the ability to communicateinstantaneously around the globe to facilitate crossjurisdictionalcyber-fraud and subsequently, online moneylaundering. Coordinating international fraud and moneylaundering schemes requires...
Today, E-Commerce has become the largest revenue generation industry, letting seller sell everything from a pen to plane to the customers across the globe. Over an E-commerce platform where user and vendor merely interact with each other, the trust is undeniably the most important factor for users to perform transactions online. But at the same time it can't be assessed directly using some pre-defined...
User-contributed content on the Internet has been growing at an extraordinary pace. Ranking vast amounts of such content, such as digital photographs, is handled well through user-driven ranking. It helps speeding up the ranking process while reflecting the opinions of the community. However, user-driven ranking can be often subjective and difficult to compare. We solve this using a well-known mathematical...
Social networking has become the main online platform not only to Generation Y cohorts, but also to other Internet user groups including Generation X and Baby Boomers.

The positive relation between the internet e-readiness and entrepreneurial activity has been well documented in many empirical studies. We conducted an explorative study to understand the internet e-readiness of micro women entrepreneurs in Ghana. The extensive data that we collected helped us understand the issues such as what are respondents understanding of e-readiness?; what entrepreneurial activities...
With the rapid development ot biomedical sciences, a growing amount of papers reporting new scientific findings are published and indexed in different unstructured biomedical data sources. In order to really appreciate and effectively benefit from the availability of this amount of data there is an urgent need to support the deployment of intelligent information services, such as: temporal trends...
This paper tries to do the research of analyzing the relation of the customer trust, the customer satisfaction and purchase intention under the electronic commerce shopping environment. Drawing on the theory of customer trust, customer satisfaction and purchase intention, based on a survey of 102 respondents from the University in China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the results showed...
Learning motivation plays an important role in college English teaching. This paper attempts to explore the application of information technology in order to solve the currently existing problem found by doing the questionnaire. Based on the theoretical explanation of the connotation and classification of learning motivation as well as the analysis of its affecting factors, two approaches have been...
The increasing growth of cities, the concurrent trend toward "smart" environments put the topic of mobility into the focus of information service developers. The increasing prevalence of smart devices allows an enhanced automated harvesting of data that can be processed to satisfy information needs of the actors within the mobility system thus, providing an environment for frequent interaction...
Learning service selection in context-aware ubiquitous learning systems is affected not only by human errors, those of sensors but also by the dynamic aspect of these systems. The service selection in these systems is based on the learner QoS requirements, needs. However, these latter are based on vague linguistic terms which should be represented by fuzzy set theory. To this end, we have proposed...
As the Internet has become a popular avenue for users to seek health-related information, the prevalence of online rumors represents a growing concern. If users trust and share bogus health information on the Internet, repurcussions could be serious.
