The world is continually changing: the emergence of new technology and new demands for pertinent information pose new challenges and possibilities for forest management. Are forest growth models keeping up with client needs? To remain relevant, modelers need to anticipate client needs, gauge the data needed to satisfy these demands, develop the tools to collect and analyze these data efficientl...

This paper claims that the strategies applied in designing e-learning solutions tend to focus on how to proceed after the precondition, e.g., learners requirements, pedagogical choice, etc., have been decided upon. Investigating the HCI research field, we find that the methodological approaches focus on end-users and primarily address the phases succeeding the initial pre-analysis. The HCI appr...

Once a message meets the criteria of rigor and relevance, it may still fail to inform a client if it lacks resonance: the ability to impact client mental models. To achieve resonance with an individual client involves issues beyond the nature of the message itself. Filters that can interfere with resonance include informational, cognitive, risk/time preference, motivational, and visceral (e.g.,...

In this paper we discuss an emerging direction for Intel® vProTM technology called Dynamic Virtual Client (DVC) computing. DVC addresses the needs of IT organizations and end-users by enabling client computing diversity across alternative computing models. DVC is a client virtualization architecture combining hardwareand software-enabled features based on the foundation elements of Intel® Virtu...

In the present scenario various wired and wireless networks are contributing in information access for different users. But as we are moving towards next generation, the communication is targeting for integration of these wired and wireless networks. Once a client obtains a global address from Internet gateway it is able to communicate with nodes in Internet or it is able to access information ...

Home-based palliative care (hospice) services require comprehensive and fully integrated information systems to develop and manage the various aspects of their business, incorporating client data and management information. These systems assist in maintaining the quality of client care as well as improved management efficiencies. This article reports on a large not-for-profit home-based palliat...

Authenticated Key Establishment (AKE) protocols enable two entities, say a client (or a user) and a server, to share common session keys in an authentic way. In this paper, we review AKE protocols from a little bit different point of view, i.e. the relationship between information a client needs to possess (for authentication) and immunity to the respective leakage of stored secrets from a clie...

The goal of this project is to develop a web based Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The client only needs a web browser and an internet connection. By connecting to the server, an IDE looking page is downloaded by the browser that looks like and has the functionality of an IDE environment. The client is able to access previous code stored in the database or create new projects, compile...
