Human Rights Protection in Global Politics

The 2005 World Summit recognized the responsibility to protect. In one sense, this might be considered a normative revolution: a sign that the international human rights regime has reached a middle stage in a ‘lifecycle’ that has the potential to end in states’ internalization of the obligations of human rights protection (Finnemore and Sikkink 1998). In another sense, however, this was…

Package ‘network’

The network package provides tools for creation, access, and modification of network class objects. These objects allow for the representation of more complex structures than can be readily handled by other means (e.g., adjacency matrices), and are substantially more efficient in handling large, sparse networks. While the full capabilities of the network class can only be exploited by means o…

Total Lion Superguide

The last time Apple updated the Mac operating system—2009’s Snow Leopard release—the most noteworthy changes happened under the hood. That’s not the case with Lion, the next major version of Mac OS X. Apple has gradually pulled back the curtain on a pretty significant shift for the Mac OS, influenced in large part by Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS. Lion’s big changes naturall…

MULTI-CORE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

There are many interesting “laws” in the folklore of Information Technology. One of them, attributed to Niklaus Wirth, states that software is slowing faster than hardware is accelerating—a testimonial to the irony of modern- day system design. The “slowing down” in Wirth’s law can refer to both the run-time performance as well as software development time. Due to time-to- market pr…

POLITICS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

The aim of this book is to explore the chang- ing nature of politics in the developing world in the twenty-first century. Both ‘politics’ and the ‘developing world’ are concepts that require fur- ther elaboration and which are discussed more fully below. By politics, we mean broadly activities associated with the process and institutions of gov- ernment, or the state, but in the context…

Audience Selection for On-line Brand Advertising

This paper describes and evaluates privacy-friendly methods for extracting quasi-social networks from browser behavior on user-generated content sites, for the purpose of finding good audiences for brand advertising (as opposed to click maximizing, for example). Targeting social-network neighbors resonates well with advertisers, and on-line browsing behavior data counterintuitively can allow t…

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

Industry experience indicates that the ability to incre- mentally expand data centers is essential. However, ex- isting high-bandwidth network designs have rigid struc- ture that interferes with incremental expansion. We present Jellyfish, a high-capacity network interconnect which, by adopting a random graph topology, yields it- self naturally to incremental expansion. Somewhat sur- prisingly…

In fact, the University of Tromsø is situated on a coastal island i…

Revolutionizing Education through Technology

Economic competition is global, focused, and unrelenting; there is no such thing as a “safe” job. Whatever it was that formed the basis of your state’s economy 50, 25, or even 10 years ago is now at risk; and whatever it is that is coming next is hard to see or define, let alone prepare for. This came home to me in the late 1990s when the bloom of the dot com bubble was beginning to fade…

IPv6 for Enterprise Networks

The success of most IT projects can be boiled down to how well they were planned, test- ed, and piloted. It is critical to the success of any IPv6 rollout to establish a lab and work through the network configurations, application deployment, operating system nuances, and management of the entire environment. The lessons learned from the lab directly translate into a more streamlined pilot. Eve…

Information Storage and Management

Information storage is a central pillar of information technology. A large quantity of digital information is being created every moment by individual and corporate consumers of IT. This information needs to be stored, protected, optimized, and managed. Not long ago, information storage was seen as only a bunch of disks or tapes attached to the back of the computer to store data. Even today, o…

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK SECURITY

Network security is the identification and mitigation of undesirable information flow. Understanding the impacts, ramifications, and options re- quires a basic background in general computer security processes, network theory, and for some protocols, a basic understanding of cryptography. This knowledge can be used both offensively and defensively. Ethics determine whether the knowledge is used…
