In the last few years, cyber-activism has become a very hot topic. In countries with authoritarian regimes, the Internet has offered new spaces of expression (Benkler, 2006). The recent emergence of social media and the Web 2.0 has increased this phenomenon. Social media offer innovative terrains of expression, less standardized and controlled. Particularly where public venues are too dangerous...

This paper introduces an emerging research area – Social and Community Intelligence (SCI). It aims at revealing the individual/group behaviors, social interactions as well as community dynamics by mining the digital traces left by people while interacting with cyber-physical spaces. The digital traces are generated mainly from three information sources: Internet and Web applications, static inf...

We present techniques that enable designers to algorithmically synthesize cyber-physical architectural models with real-time constraints. We do this by providing a meta-architectural specification language that allows designers to specify what properties their architectural models should have, not how to achieve them. This provides designers with a qualitatively new level of abstraction that en...

Human Computer Symbiosis is similar to Human Computer Interaction in the sense that it is about how humans and computer interact with each other. For this interaction to be made there needs to be a symbiotic relationship between man and computer. Man can interact with computer in many ways, either just by typing with the keyboard or surfing the web. The cyber-physical-socio space is an importan...

A new generation of young learners often described as digital native school children are attitudinally and technically equipped to employ social media as a social process in learning. However, few international virtual learning projects have been implemented and researched. This article examines a trial which aimed to combine viable technology with future pedagogic solutions for primary student...

Cyber bullying or cyber harassment is a form of using electronic means. and are also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers adolescents, due to the communication technology advancements young people's increased use such technologies. when someone, typically teenager, bullies harasses others on internet other digital spaces, particularly social me...

In the past two decades, a lot of research activities have been dedicated to the fields of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). More recently, the cyber physical system (CPS) has emerged as a promising direction to enrich the interactions between physical and virtual worlds. In this article, we first review some research activities inWSN, including networking issues...
