Between April of 1994 and March of 1995 the University of Oregon worked with U S WEST and a number of other participants in an extensive technical trial of ATM equipment and services. This paper shares experiences and lessons learned during that trial. A primary area of emphasis during the trial was a complex mixture of ATM LAN and WAN capabilities. ATM connectivity was extended to high-end des...

Open Educational Resources (OER) give an openly available set of content and tools that in principle provide a basis for formal and informal communication and collaboration between groups of individuals around teaching and/or learning. In practice, most communication and collaboration around OER appears to be asynchronous, loosely connected and not sustained. The success of social networking si...

The paper presents a survey on OpenFlow related technologies that have been proposed as a means for researchers, network service creators, and others to easily design, test, and deploy their innovative ideas in experimental or production networks to accelerate research activities on network technologies. Rather than having programmability within each network node, separated OpenFlow controllers...

Online social networking (OSN) is a range of activities enabled by social technologies and operationalised by a group of people. More recently, social technologies such as blogs, wikis, photo and video sharing, podcasts, social bookmarking, social networking sites, instant messaging and online discussion boards have been widely used to facilitate OSN. OSN is popular mostly for non-educational p...

The increased use of social networking applications on smartphones makes these devices a goldmine for forensic investigators. Potential evidence can be held on these devices and recovered with the right tools and examination methods. This paper focuses on conducting forensic analyses on three widely used social networking applications on smartphones: Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. The tests we...
