Group Dynamics: Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Groups are and always will be essential to human life. Our primal ancestors protected themselves from dangerous animals, human enemies, and natural disasters by joining together in groups. Teams of workers in ancient civilizations combined their efforts to build dams, irrigation systems, and colossal monuments. Merchants and craftspeople formed guilds to organize business practices as early as 300 B.C. The Romans used groups extensively, organizing their complex society by means of military tribunes, legislative bodies, and trade associations. Religious rites, too, have traditionally been group activities (Zander, 1985; full citations can be found at www.richmond.edu/~dforsyth).

An Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...
