    A Publication of The Science and Information Organization A Publication of The Science and Information Organization (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol. 2, No. 5, 2011 IJACSA Editorial From the Desk of Managing Editor… It is a pleasure to present our readers with the May 2011 Issue of International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications (IJACSA). With monthly feature peer-reviewed articles and technical contributions, the Journal's content is dynamic, innovative, thought- provoking and directly beneficial to the readers in their work. The number of submissions have increased dramatically over the last issues. Our ability to accommodate this growth is due in large part to the terrific work of our Editorial Board. Some of the papers have an introductory character, some of them access highly desired extensions for a particular method, and some of them even introduce completely new approaches to computer science research in a very efficient manner. This diversity was strongly desired and should contribute to evoke a picture of this field at large. As a consequence only 29% of the received articles have been finally accepted for publication. With respect to all the contributions, we are happy to have assembled researchers whose names are linked to the particular manuscript they are discussing. Therefore, this issue may not just be used by the reader to get an introduction to the methods but also to the people behind that have been pivotal in the promotion of the respective research. By having in mind such future issues, we hope to establish a regular outlet for contributions and new findings in the field of Computer science and applications.

  • Changers People, Products, and Policies That Empower 21St Century Kids
    presents Gamechangers People, Products, and Policies That Empower 21st Century Kids April 28 and 29, 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA Sandbox Summit® is a series of conferences designed to address how technology affects the ways kids play, learn, and connect. As technology is woven into every aspect of our children’s lives, Sandbox Summit raises the bar on questions surrounding the use and development of their new toys and tools. Through high-energy panels, innovative demonstrations, original research, and thought-provoking discussions with industry and media leaders, analysts, journalists, educators and parents, each Summit strategically intermingles disciplines and viewpoints so that we never talk to a room full of nodding heads. The goal of every Sandbox Summit is to stimulate the means that encourage kids to become creative, critical thinkers in the 21st century. Our Mission: Play is how kids learn. By creating a forum for conversation around play and technology, Sandbox Summit strives to ensure that the next generation of players becomes active innovators, rather than passive users, of technology. ® 2 Sandbox Summit Game Changers Welcome. As we open our seventh Sandbox Summit®, and our second annual event at MIT, we can’t help but reflect on how the conversation has changed in the past three and a half years. We began talking about traditional toys and tech, wondering about the value of adding a chip or going online; now, both the vocabulary and the toys have evolved. Today, toys include tools, and the technology extends to multiple platforms, 24/7 connections, touch screens, and body language.
