This document aims to provide a framework for the support of wireless LANs (WLANs) in an IPv6-only environment. It is hoped that it will serve as an IPv6 WLAN design and implementation guide for readers that are unfamiliar with IPv6 and/or WLANs. The original focus for this document was to be on access control solutions but we have now expanded the scope to include all aspects of deploying IPv6...

According to Patrick Colm Hogan, in the US academic context, few people in literary theory or comparative literature have much familiarity with non-Western literary theories, and fewer still have research expertise in the field. While working on a project in non-Western literary theory, he was surprised to find that many of his friends and colleagues found it difficult to understand what non-We...

Internet-enabled, location aware smart phones with sensor inputs have led to novel applications exploiting unprecedented high levels of citizen participation in dense metropolitan areas. Especially the possibility to make oneself heard on issues, such as broken traffic lights, potholes or garbage, has led to a high degree of participation in Urban Infrastructure Monitoring. However, duplicate r...

Tallying, the recording of the number of occurrences of specific events, although basically a simple repetitive act, has somehow failed to become mechanized in the general trend toward relieving humans of the drudger-y of paper work. A tremendous amount of event counting is still recorded in the tally records of modern business establishments in the symbols of the ancients, the four strokes and...

This paper discusses the role of context in a mobile ticketing system for public transport. Although context-awareness in this domain promises benefits such as simplified and smarter usersystem interaction, the context of telecommunication services raises issues of security and privacy. We present a system architecture utilizing a privacy enhancing protocol that allows secure exchange of sensit...

Software repositories include information which can be made available for bug fixing or maintenance using repository mining. The identification of coupled changes have been proposed several times. Yet, existing studies focus on the found couplings and ignore feedback from developers. We investigate three development projects and their repositories to find files that frequently change together t...

The number of FLOSS projects that include a QA step in the development model is increasing which suggests that a new layer may be emerging in the classic “onion model”. This change might affect the information flow within projects and implicitly their sustainability. Communities, the essential resource of FLOSS projects, have been extensively studied but questions concerning QA remain. This pap...

Over the last 20 years, the increasing complexity and technical intensiveness of health care in French hospitals have increased the level of uncertainty in the process of care. This paper argues that beyond quality management approaches, the most important issue in health care management is the need to implement new organizational methods in response to the dynamic changes that are transforming...

The increasing complexity of both the environment in which companies operate and of their internal workings combined with an increasingly high pressure for innovation make knowledge and its efficient management central to business success today. The management of knowledge is more than directly managing knowledge as a resource. It is more concerned with providing knowledge-friendly environments...
