Information-centric networking has been touted as an alternative to the current Internet architecture. Our work addresses a crucial part of such a proposal, namely the design of a network node within an information-centric networking architecture. Special attention is given in providing a platform for development and experimentation in an emerging network research area; an area that questions m...

Security in information and communication technology currently relies on a collection of mostly un-related and un-coordinated security mechanisms. All in all, the end-user has no chance to get a good perception of the security properties satisfied for actions she is executing in the Internet. Classical approaches (e.g. perimeter security) do not work in open and heterogeneous communication envi...

Increased understanding of the stress and performance effects of gun range drills with police officers is of importance for law enforcement trainers. Seventy-one police officers participated in routine night shooting drills over a two week period as part of regular training regimen. This paper examines the effects of two shooting range tasks on police officer’s time perception, individual diffe...

Personalization of browsing and searching: given a video that is of interest for a user, browsing involves being able to quickly assess the most interesting (relevant, typical or unusual) frames/scenes in the video in order to decide whether it is worth watching in its entirety (or which portions are worth viewing). Users should be allowed to select at view-time basic parameters such as storybo...

In this thesis, we start from the observation that the Internet is a critical infrastructure, which needs severe protection. We take a practical view on Internet security, considering the whole ecosystem including the network, end devices, and services, protected and threatened by current and future Internet protocols. We contribute tools, methodologies, and measurement results to improve the c...

The obvious move towards a Future Internet environment that is strongly distributed, mobile, cloud-based, semantically rich has raised and emphasized the need for a different type of applications. The focus of this new type of applications can no longer be on the software itself but directly on the relevant needs and goals of end-users. We argue that because these applications are strongly end-...

This paper provides a brief background of the education system in Saudi Arabia and current special education services and programs for students with disabilities. Additionally, this paper presents the findings of some studies that examined teachers' perspectives regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities.
