Dr. R. Sridaran, Dean, Faculty of Computer Applications, Marwadi Education Foundation’s Group of Institutions, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. ----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Local Area Networks frequently referred to as WLANs or Wi-Fi networks are all the passion in recent times. Wireless networks offer handiness, mobility, and can even be less expensive to put into practice than wired networks in many cases. But how far this technology is going provide a protected environment in terms of privacy is again an anonymous issue. Realizing the miscellaneous threats and vulnerabilities associated with 802.11-based wireless networks and ethically hacking them to make them more secure is what this paper is all about. On this segment, we'll seize a look at common threats, vulnerabilities related with wireless networks. This paper presents an overview some of the WLANs Scanning, Sniffing and Auditing tools available on the internet. This paper Reviews these tools along with their merits, demerits and how they can be used for hacking, exploiting security holes and their usage characterization in WLANs.

  • Final Proposal
    The Importance and Preservation of the Thoreau Society’s Audio and Video media An Interactive Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by _______________________ William H. House _______________________ Keith R. Murphy Date: Feburary 27th, 2008 Approved: ___________________________________ Professor Wesley Mott, Advisor ___________________________________ Rodney Obien, Co-Advisor Abstract: The Audio and Video collections at the Thoreau Institutes Library are in Jeopardy of being lost forever. The media is inaccessible due to obsolescence, and much of it is deteriorating to a point were it couldn’t be read, even with an appropriate player. Due to much research we have found that the majority of the collections can be easily, safely, and cost effectively converted to a digital format. A digital format will make all the different media formats in the collections accessible by a computer and easy to back up, duplicate, and preserve.

This paper evaluates the potential contributions of natural language processing to requirements engineering. We present a selective history of the relationship between requirements engineering (RE) and natural-language processing (NLP), and briefly summarize relevant re- cent trends in NLP. The paper outlines basic issues in RE and how they relate to interactions between a NLP front end and system-development processes. We suggest some improvements to NLP that may be possible in the context of RE and conclude with an assessment of what should be done to improve likelihood of practical impact in this direction. Keywords: Requirements, Natural Language, Ambiguity, Gaps, Domain- Specific Methods. 1 Introduction A major challenge in requirements engineering is dealing with changes, especially in the context of systems of systems with correspondingly complex stakeholder communities and critical systems with stringent dependability requirements. Documentation driven development (DDD) is a recently developed approach for addressing these issues that seeks to simultaneously improve agility and de- pendability via computer assistance centered on a variety of documents [1,2]. The approach is based on a new view of documents as computationally active knowledge bases that support computer aid for many software engineering tasks from requirements engineering to system evolution, which is quite different from the traditional view of documents as passive pieces of paper.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions www.wireless-village.org The Wireless Village initiative: FAQs 26 April 2001 1. Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS) 1.1 What is IMPS? It stands for “instant messaging and presence service”, and includes four primary features: · Presence · Instant Messaging · Groups · Shared Content In the mobile Internet society, people have a greater need to communicate than ever before. In wire-line networks, people can use online chat software to communicate across the Internet using short text, or even multimedia, messages. This type of service is called an “instant messaging service”. In mobile networks, similar short message services have existed since the introduction of digital mobile phone service. The utility of instant messaging is greatly enhanced by the addition of a service that will keep track of the online status and availability of your chat partners or “friends”; as well as notify you of changes to their status or availability. This type of service is called a “presence service”. The combination of instant messaging, presence, groups, and shared content is called an IMPS. 1.2 Is the concept of IMPS new? No. Ever since the introduction of early time-sharing computer systems, there has been the availability of services desired to allow users of these systems to communicate or “chat” between terminals using short text messages. Some have even provided session based services that provide a “chat room” feature. Digital mobile phone users are also familiar with mobile-terminated and mobile- originated short messaging services. These services allow text-based messaging between mobile phone users. Internet “web portal” and online services users are also familiar with chat, chat room capabilities and “friends lists” for maintaining chat addresses of friends; along with their online status and availability.

  • Research Purpose Operating Systems – a Wide Survey
    GESJ: Computer Science and Telecommunications 2010|No.3(26) ISSN 1512-1232 RESEARCH PURPOSE OPERATING SYSTEMS – A WIDE SURVEY Pinaki Chakraborty School of Computer and Systems Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi – 110067, India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Operating systems constitute a class of vital software. A plethora of operating systems, of different types and developed by different manufacturers over the years, are available now. This paper concentrates on research purpose operating systems because many of them have high technological significance and they have been vividly documented in the research literature. Thirty-four academic and research purpose operating systems have been briefly reviewed in this paper. It was observed that the microkernel based architecture is being used widely to design research purpose operating systems. It was also noticed that object oriented operating systems are emerging as a promising option. Hence, the paper concludes by suggesting a study of the scope of microkernel based object oriented operating systems. Keywords: Operating system, research purpose operating system, object oriented operating system, microkernel 1. Introduction An operating system is a software that manages all the resources of a computer, both hardware and software, and provides an environment in which a user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner [1]. However, the principles and concepts used in the operating systems were not standardized in a day. In fact, operating systems have been evolving through the years [2]. There were no operating systems in the early computers. In those systems, every program required full hardware specification to execute correctly and perform each trivial task, and its own drivers for peripheral devices like card readers and line printers.
