...M1 The internet today has grew massively there are new and much modernised technologies and ways to communicate. Communicating are making personal interaction fast, efficient and for some people a bit intimidating this is because the internet can be a dangerous place and people can forge people and impersonate them, peoples social media page has a lot of information on about that person so therefore people can have the necessarily information and can make other things up. The new technologies and communication methods are quickly becoming the ‘normal’ in today’s world. The concept referring to the changing trend in the use of web technology and web design is that they have to lead to the development of information sharing and collaboration capabilities. Web 2.0 is now referred to in new ways in which software developers and users use the web. It makes use of the web technologies that were always present but not technically or practically feasible in the web 1.0. there are more and modern technologies such as Ajax, wikis, folksonomy, web feeds, podcasts, semantic web, mashups, social networking, instant messaging, text messaging and blogging these are often referred as a web 2.0 technologies. The web 2.0 doesn’t represent a new version of the World Wide Web. Some social media and modern technologies we know or may use: Instant messaging (IM) Is a computer based method of communication in which a user can type and view messages sent to one or multiple people and can also view...

...Cloud computing A collection of working papers Thomas B Winans John Seely Brown Cloud Computing frequently is taken to be a term that simply renames common technologies and techniques that we have come to know in IT. It may be interpreted to mean data center hosting and then subsequently dismissed without catching the improvements to hosting called utility computing that permit near realtime, policy-based control of computing resources. Or it may be interpreted to mean only data center hosting rather than understood to be the significant shift in Internet application architecture that it is. Perhaps it is the name. Certainly it is more nebulous than mnemonic, if you’ll pardon the poor pun. We happen to think so too. We’d rather use the term service grid, frankly, but that name also has its problems. The fact is that cloud and service grid computing are paradigmatically different from their common interpretations, and their use can shed light on how internet architectures are constructed and managed. Cloud computing represents a different way to architect and remotely manage computing resources. One has only to establish an account with Microsoft or Amazon or Google to begin building and deploying application systems into a cloud. These systems can be, but certainly are not restricted to being, simplistic. They can be web applications that require only http services. They might require a relational database. They might require web service infrastructure and message queues...

Given the structure of social bookmarking systems, similarity measures need to be addressed from a social bookmarking systems perspective. We address the fundamental problem of weight model for tags over which every similarity measure is based. We propose a weight model for tagging systems that considers the user dimension unlike existing measures based on tag frequency. Visual analysis of tag clouds depicts that the proposed model provides intuitively better scores for weights than tag frequency. We also propose weighted similarity model that is conceptually different from the contemporary frequency based similarity measures. Based on the weighted similarity model, we present weighted variations of several existing measures like Dice and Cosine similarity measures. We evaluate the proposed similarity model using Spearman’s correlation coefficient, with WordNet as the gold standard. Our method achieves 20% improvement over the traditional similarity measures like dice and cosine similarity and also over the most recent tag similarity measures like mutual information with distributional aggregation. Finally, we show the practical effectiveness...

I understand that failure to attribute material which is obtained from another source may be considered as plagiarism. (Signature of student) Abstract Cloud computing is a breakthrough innovation in information technology industry. It brings new efficiencies and advantages to business. There is much hype about environmental impacts of cloud computing on green issues. Some favour of cloud computing as solution to green issues while others blame cloud computing as burden to environmental problems. Cloud computing, nevertheless, like other technology, is neutral. It can be either cause or solution to environmental issues. There is growing pressure on cloud computing industry to reduce the environmental impacts of their data centres. The current trend focuses on developing green cloud computing. However, the evaluation of solutions to green cloud computing bases on certain standards, metrics and benchmarks, which assess only parts of the environmental issues with cloud computing. This report will concentrate on green issues with cloud computing. Significant positive and negative impacts of cloud computing on the environment issues will be investigated. Next, a classification of green issues with cloud computing also is offered...

...CHAOS THEORY It is a field of study in mathematics, with applications in several disciplines including, and philosophy. Chaos theory studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions—a response popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as weather and climate. This behavior can be studied through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincare maps. This latter idea is known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions , a circumstance discovered by Edward Lorenz (who is generally credited as the first experimenter in the area of chaos) in the early 1960s. DEFINITION: It is the study of non linear dynamics, in which seemingly random events are actually predictable from simple deterministic equation. Chaos theory concerns deterministic systems whose behavior can in principle be predicted. Chaotic systems are predictable for a while and then appear to become random. The amount of time for which the behavior of a chaotic system can be effectively predicted depends on three things: * How much uncertainty we are willing to tolerate in the forecast? * How accurately we are able to measure its current state? * Which time scale is depending on the dynamics of the system? The two main components of chaos theory are the ideas that systems - no matter how complex they may be - rely upon an underlying...

...The Holographic Principle Andrew J. Birk Jr. Argosy University Page 1 Abstract The holographic principle; a seemingly abstract idea almost out of reach from the mentality of the average person that suggests the entire basis of existence is merely illusory images. William Blake, the early 18th century English poet in Auguries of Innocence made allegory to this notion: "To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, old infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour." The idea that everything in the world is subjective and the physical manifestations of matter are purely a construct of observation. The properties of certain immutable cosmic laws of the universe, physics and even mentality intertwine to depict a reality of literal imagination. The purpose of this thesis is to prove this very cogitation; the universe is most likely intangible and thus holographic by nature. Since, as human beings, our experience is totally confined to perception and it’s interpretation and due to many anomalous events and devices within the physical world; there lies credence in this theory. Anomalous objects such as black holes and their “informational paradox”, dark matter, atomic structure and even the manner of which the brain works all play a crucial role in supporting this outrageous, yet sensible idea. Keywords: quantum physics, reality, gravity, observation...

...Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases (2012) 2, 79–86 & 2012 JITTC Palgrave Macmillan All rights reserved 2043-8869/12 palgrave-journals.com/jittc/ Teaching case Understanding the process of backsourcing: two cases of process and product backsourcing in Europe Julia Kotlarsky1, Lars Bognar2 1 2 Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, UK; Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin, Ireland Correspondence: J Kotlarsky, Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK. Tel: þ 44 121 2043116; E-mail: j.kotlarsky@aston.ac.uk Abstract Backsourcing, defined generally as bringing services outsourced to a third party back inhouse, is now a growing phenomenon. The decision to backsource has several significant implications for an organization, as it requires the organization to manage organizational change, reintegrate knowledge, and develop new capabilities and competences. Taking into account there is very limited empirical evidence of how to successfully accomplish the backsourcing process, two case studies included in this teaching case offer additional insight into the process of backsourcing. To prepare students for case analysis, this teaching case starts by describing the backsourcing phenomenon, followed by an overview of the backsourcing trend, and includes a brief review of the relevant literature that mainly focuses on backsourcing decisions and touches on critical success factors for implementing a backsourcing initiative. This is...
