This paper presents a system consisting of the FPGA IP core, the simple network protocol and the Linux device driver, capable of efficient and reliable data transmission from a low resources FPGA chip to the Linux-based embedded computer system, via a private Ethernet network (consisting of a single segment or a few segments connected via an Ethernet switch). The embedded system may optionally ...

While the increasing number of services available through computer networks is a source of great convenience for users, it raises several concerns, including the threat of hacking and the invasion of user privacy. Hackers can easily block network services by flooding traffic to servers or by breaking through network security, hence causing significant economic loss. It is well know that a Distr...

The network-centric warfare philosophy is becoming more firmly entrenched in US military doctrine and operations. As a result, the state and trustworthiness of the network and its computational resources are becoming even more important for commanders, particularly as the network itself is becoming an ever more lucrative target for cyber attack. In cyberspace, however, given human limitations a...

One of the World Wide Web characteristics, besides its omnipresence in computer systems, is the adoption of a universal user interface that is used to access several different services that were previously accessed individually by independent applications. The Internet resources started to be identified by URI schemes, a text string with specific syntax and grammar. Although existing for severa...

Accessing computer resources from off campus has been a continuing problem for both students and faculty, and this problem has been exacerbated by the growth of our graduate program. A multi-layered remote authentication system has been created for use by students and faculty providing the ability to telecommute and gain remote access to these resources. Security concerns have also been address...

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimizing the Internet Service Provider (ISP) profit by providing a periodic Dynamic Partitioning (DP) model for utilizing network resources in the context of Virtual Private Networks (VPN). In literature, Complete Sharing (CS), Complete Partitioning (CP), and Bandwidth Borrowing (BR) techniques have been proposed for resource allocation where the foll...

The technological infrastructure of Finnish schools varies a lot. In some schools there are computers almost for every pupil in the classroom. On the other hand there are also schools with only a few computers in the whole school. The purpose of this paper is to study how teachers from different schools and school levels utilize technological resources in their teaching. The hypothesis is that ...

water resources local governance can is one of the most influential collaborative approach in the water resources management. social monitoring of local stakeholders plays an important role in planning, resources management and water efficient governance. therefore to achieve this goal, social network analysis has been considered as an approach of analysis of the relationship among local stakeh...
