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. Therefore, IJACSA in general, could serve as a reliable resource for everybody loosely or tightly attached to this field of science. And if only a single young researcher is inspired by this issue to contribute in the future to solve some of the problems sketched here or contribute to exiting methodologies and research work, the effort of all the contributors will be rewarded. In that sense we would like to thank all the authors and reviewers that contributed to this issue for their efforts and their collaboration in this project. We hope to continue exploring the always diverse and often astonishing fields in Advanced Computer Science and Applications. Thank You for Sharing Wisdom!

    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.

Recognize the bold new approach for delivering information to today’s college students (aka digital natives). Knowledge Is a Flat World The textbook publishing industry is undergoing staggering change as many traditional business models and practices quickly lose relevance. Peer-to-peer textbook trading networks, online used-book sellers, and a gray market that allows low-priced international editions to displace expensive U.S. texts push publishers to reconsider outmoded ways of delivering content. Likewise, the digital natives who make up our university student bodies (that’s you!) inspire educators to think about the transfer of knowledge in exciting new ways. How do we best communicate the most current thinking in our disciplines to students who expect up-to- the-minute information at a keystroke and who view educational materials as community—indeed, world—resources that can and should be freely shared and interactively constructed? We’ve created a new kind of text—one premised on the idea that college course material can wield wider influence and be of greatest public benefit as it becomes easily and inexpensively available to anyone with a desire to learn.

    The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies

    THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO REMIX STUDIES The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies comprises contemporary texts by key authors and artists who are active in the emerging field of remix studies. As an organic interna- tional movement, remix culture originated in the popular music culture of the 1970s, and has since grown into a rich cultural activity encompassing numerous forms of media. The act of recombining pre-existing material brings up pressing questions of authen- ticity, reception, authorship, copyright, and the techno-politics of media activism. This book approaches remix studies from various angles, including sections on history, aes- thetics, ethics, politics, and practice, and presents theoretical chapters alongside case studies of remix projects. The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies is a valuable resource for both researchers and remix practitioners, as well as a teaching tool for instructors using remix practices in the classroom. Eduardo Navas is the author of Remix Theory: The Aesthetics of Sampling (Springer, 2012). He researches and teaches principles of cultural analytics and digital humanities in the School of Visual Arts at The Pennsylvania State University, PA. Navas is a 2010–12 Post- Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen, Norway, and received his PhD from the Program of Art and Media History, Theory, and Criticism at the University of California in San Diego. Owen Gallagher received his PhD in Visual Culture from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin. He is the founder of TotalRecut.com, an online com- munity archive of remix videos, and a co-founder of the Remix Theory & Praxis seminar group.

Giuseppe La Spada Giuseppe La Spada was born in Palermo in 1974, but he grew up in Milazzo. In 2002, he graduated with honours in Digital Design at Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, where he remained as a professor until 2004. In 2006 Istituto Europeo di Design Rome conferred him the prize for best carrier in Visual Arts. In 2007, he won the prestigious Webby Awards, thanks to an ecological web project: the website “Mono No Aware” in support of the project “Stop Rokkasho” founded by Oscar winner Ryuichi Sakamoto. That same evening also David Bowie, Beastie Boys and YouTube founders received an award. In 2008, he worked with Sakamoto and Fennesz during the tournée “Cendre”, which ended with the unforgettable show at Ground Zero in New York. In 2010 he gave life, to “Afleur”, a live show which he also illustrated in a very particular and ecological object-book. In 2009 create ‘Afleur’, an art project that in 2011 was part of Digitalife2digital art exhibition, between the works of Marina Abramovic, Christian Marclay, Carsten Nicolai, Ryoichi Kurokawa and many other eminent contemporary artist. The representative picture of the event, itself, was his creation. In 2011, with the participation of more than 600 people, he staged an impressive tree in Piazza Duomo (Milan) in order to raise public awareness of the problem of pollution. In 2012, he curated the Ca’ Del Bosco event ‘With All Your Senses’, where he created an interactive multi- sensorial artwork well appreciated by critics and press.
