In face-to-face group situations, social pressure and organizational hierarchy relegate the less outspoken to silence, often resulting in fewer voices, fewer ideas, and groupthink. However, in mediated interaction like email, more people join in the discussion to offer their opinion. With this work, we aim to combine the benefits of mediated communication with the benefits and affordances of fa...

In face-to-face group situations, social pressure and organizational hierarchy relegate the less outspoken into silence, often resulting in fewer voices, fewer ideas, and group-think. However, in mediated interaction, such as email, it has been shown that more people join in the discussion. With this work, we aim to combine the benefits of mediated communication with the benefits and affordance...

Command control, communication, computer and intelligence (C4I) systems are the back bone complex information and communication systems for modern information warfare (IW). Managing security in C4I systems is a challenge due to complexity and criticality of these systems. This paper elaborates design methodology to incorporate security in the C4I systems in systematic and consistent way instead...

AJAX is a ubiquitous technology that empowers Web applications by facilitating communication with the server side of the Web transaction. The drawback of this enabling technology is that malicious exploits can use this AJAX “back door” to communicate on behalf the client/server and steal users’ information. In this paper, we present a technique that will protect the AJAX-enabled communication. ...

Almost everybody has heard horror tales of someone who was shocked after a doctor told him or her bad news in a rude manner. Breaking bad news represents a communication challenge. It is taught as a situation, where things can go utterly wrong. It has been viewed as the culmination point of difficult conversations, where the quality of a health care provider’s communication skills will be expos...

To expand the operative area for surveillance UAV, we propose the use of a relay UAV. The relay UAV is used as an intermediary node in a communication network: the surveillance UAV transmits data to the relay UAV, which sends it back to a ground station. In this exploratory report, we calculate the route for a relay UAV, to ensure communication at certain time points, given the route of the sur...

C. & H. Kirchner, ed. 15 International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-15), LNAI 1421, pp. 317–331, c ©Springer Verlag, 1998. Abstract. We present a theorem proving environment for the development of reliable and efficient group communication systems. Our approach makes methods of automated deduction applicable to the implementation of real-world systems by linking the Ensemble group co...

This paper proposes an architecture that can optimize inter-VM communication in an NFV environment through the creation of direct channels between virtual machines. Particularly, our prototype can transparently optimize the data transfer between virtual machines running DPDK applications by dynamically recognizing the existence of pointto-point connections in the traffic steering rules, reverti...

NoC i.e. Network –onChip is one of today’s emerging technology which has spread very fast to meet today’s need of fast communication. Few years back the communication was based on the bus addressing but as the number of components increased to gain and achieve higher improving or modified techniques; System –on-Board (SoB) transformed to System –on-Chip (SoC) which was further transformed to No...

[Context and Motivation] Requirements specifications often lack the details needed by software architects to make informed architectural decisions. Lacking such details, the architects either make assumptions or go back to business analysts for clarifications or conduct additional stakeholder interviews. This may result in incorrect requirements and project delays. [Question/problem] In global ...
