This article provides an overview of the use of the Internet for conducting studies after terrorist attacks and other large-scale disasters. We begin with a brief summary of the scientific and logistical challenges of conducting such research, followed by a description of some of the most important design features that are required to produce valid findings. We then describe one approach to Int...

This paper discusses the current challenges being presented to the Internet. Starting from the service point of view, we discuss new enterprise requirements being laid upon the net, and the Internet potential to fulfil them. In particular, the introduction of quality of service in the network and the differentiated services perspective are addressed from the point of view of introduction of new...

To date, research focused on "traditional" (i.e. in-person) youth bullying behaviour has documented serious psychosocial challenges for those involved. How this literature translates to youth engaging in aggressive behaviours online has yet to be examined. Using the largest US sample of youth Internet users to date, psychosocial characteristics of youth engaging in Internet harassment were exam...

Internet measurement data provides the foundation for the operation and planning of the networks that comprise the Internet, and is a necessary component in research for analysis, simulation, and emulation. Despite its critical role, however, the management of this data—from collection and transmission to storage and its use within applications—remains primarily ad hoc, using techniques created...

Video streaming in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a real challenge due to frequent changes in network topology, and sensitiveness of radio links. Recent approaches make use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies to combat these challenges because the technologies have been already found to be effective for content delivery on the Internet. However, as the Internet and MANET operate differently, t...

The Internet is evolving into a ubiquitous platform for the delivery of services and content. This evolution brings with it a sea of change, as it rapidly becomes the chosen medium for commercial published material and communication. The evolution of Internet services, both mobile and fixed, presents the industry and academia with many research and engineering challenges. Among these the challe...
