At the same time, the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) has made it possible to provide resource constrained devices with RESTful web service functionalities and consequently to integrate WSNs and smart objects with the Web. The use of Web services on top of IP based WSNs facilitates the software reusability and reduces the complexity of the application development. This work focuses on RESTful WSNs. It describes CoAP, highlights the main differences with HTTP and reports the results of a simple experiment showing the benefits of CoAP in terms of power consumption compared to HTTP. The paper also describes the design and development of an end-to-end IP based architecture integrating a CoAP over 6LowPAN Contiki based WSN with an HTTP over IP based application. The application allows a user to access WSN data directly from a Web browser. The main system’s building blocks and functionalities...

...functions and use of different Servers in benefitting a small web-presence business needs With the 21st century been in the digital era the use and need for technology and computers is increasing and people want everything right there in front of them with only one click away. Web servers Web servers deliver web content from anywhere in the world to your computer, they can either be software which is a computer application the aids the delivery of web content or they can be hardware so the computer itself that delivers web content. A web server works by breaking the URL down into 3 parts, the protocol (http), the server name (web address) and the file name. So your computer communicates with the server name translating it into an IP address which will connect to the desired web server, following the protocol the browser sent a request to the web server asking for the file name and text. A web server can benefit a small business as since it’s designed to run multiple applications such a messaging, databases and email. Having a server makes it easier for your employees to communicate and share data. Due to the server being able to store images, documents etc. It can be used as a hub for sharing information with colleagues, with being able to access the server from anywhere in the world. Most servers are...

...the selling and buying of goods and services is being done n online. That is why Tony chips should also have a website where it can be able to advertize its business and reach many customers. This paper will cover the steps and requirements on how Tony chips will transfer web hosting from an external source to internal as well as how to make their website redundant. In the efforts to build that redundant and scalable website, the key principles of availability, performance, reliability, scalability, manageability and cost require much attention (Matsudaira, 2012). Also, the SDLC must be duly followed as it is the requirement of any system. These are systems planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and lastly system support/security (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2012). System Planning In this phase, the familiarization of the processes involved and objectives of the business must be well highlighted. A formal business plan needs to be in place to show which operations the company will undertake. There is a need to know all participants in the whole migration process and the time when they will you require then in the migration process. As the one of the requirements is that the website needs to be hosting should be internal, it means that a server there is a server requirement. Besides that, the website’s redundancy needs to be planned for, and the way customers will be able to place their orders online. We require architecture in this case that allows dynamicity...

... This paper describes the Inventory Management System sufficiently to determine the feasibility and usability of a finished system. The core concept is to track the sale of items from the cash registers with additional features for interpreting the data. It uses a client-server model with a connected database to allow multiple stores and warehouses to be connected. This allows for later expansion while still supporting the targeted small businesses. The core features and final framework should be completed within 2 weeks, leaving 5 weeks to implement additional features and testing. 1. Operational Concepts The Inventory Management System is a real-time inventory database capable of connecting multiple stores. This can be used to track the inventory of a single store, or to manage the distribution of stock between several branches of a larger franchise. However, the system merely records sales and restocking data and provides notification of low stock at any location through email at a specified interval. The goal is to reduce the strain of tracking rather than to handle all store maintenance. Further features may include the ability to generate reports of sales, but again the interpretation is left to the management. In addition, since theft does occasionally occur, the system provides solutions for confirming the store inventory and for correcting stock quantities. 2. System Requirements The Inventory Management System uses a web-based interface...

...Web Server Application Attacks Brooks Gunn Professor Nyeanchi CIS 502 July 10, 2013 Web Server Application Attacks Many organizations have begun to use web applications instead of client/server or distributed applications. These applications has provided organizations with better network performance, lower cost of ownership, thinner clients, and a way for any user to access the application. We applications significantly reduce the number of software programs that must be installed and maintained in end user workstations (Gregory 2010). Web applications are becoming a primary target for cyber criminals and hackers. They have become major targets because of the enormous amounts of data being shared through these applications and they are so often used to manage valuable information. Some criminals simply just want vandalize and cause harm to operations. There are several different types of web application attacks. Directory traversal, buffer overflows, and SQL injections are three of the more common attacks. One of the most common attacks on web based applications is directory traversal. This attack’s main purpose is the have an application access a computer file that is not intended to be accessible. It is a form of HTTP exploit in which the hacker will use the software on a Web server to access data in a directory other than the server’s root directory. The hacker could possibly execute commands...

...CITRIIX LICENSE CLUSTERING INTRUCTIONS The following steps describe the overall process involved in installing and configuring licensing on a cluster-enabled server. These steps assume you configured the clustering on the hardware on which you intend to install the license server. A detailed procedure follows. 1. Ensure that the first node has control of the cluster resources. 2. On the first node of the cluster, start the Citrix Licensing installation from the command-line and install it on the first node to the shared cluster drive (not the quorum drive). 3. Move the resources from the active node in the cluster to the second node. 4. Install the license server on the second node to the same shared location as the first node. 5. Obtain license files that specify the cluster name of the license server as the host name. After obtaining license files, you must add them to the license server and then reread them. 6. Configure your Citrix product to use the cluster name—not the node name—of the license server cluster. Note: When a clustered license server fails over, the cluster service renames the lmgrd_debug.log to the name of the node that previously hosted the services. Then it starts the services on the new active node and creates a new lmgrd_debug.log. To install licensing on a cluster-enabled server 1. Install Java on both cluster nodes. You can find a supported version on the Citrix product CD in the Support folder. 2. Ensure that the cluster IP address, cluster...

...Term Paper Website Migration CIS University 09/07/15 Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. Therefore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system. The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build the web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working. In order to build the architecture, migrate the existing website along with adding the ability for the customers to place orders online and providing for redundancy of the site the system development life cycle (SDLC) will be used. The SDLC consists of five phases that will be utilized in this project and the five phases are systems planning, systems analysis...

...advertising; the other sought a degree in graphic design technology. The graphic designer was learning how to take an art form that was originally done with paper, pens, acetate, tape and glue and apply those same skills using computerized graphics, layers, vectors and pixels. Business work such as accounting, proposals, estimates, invoices and contracts was performed on an IBM compatible machine while all the graphic and design work was performed on a Mac LC II. Internal communications were executed using a 9600 baud modem system. External communications were performed through U.S. mail, telephone calls and a relatively new technology called facsimile transmissions (fax). Primary project output consisted of creating marketing and advertising materials such as logos, corporate branding materials, advertisements and other promotional print driven materials. Like many partnerships, Creative Image owners eventually dissolved the working relationship to pursue other ventures; however the business license was retained for 20 years in order to continue to allow freelance work by the artist. In 2011, the designer re-entered college to support 20 years of freelance design experience with a Bachelor’s Degree and redirect a career based upon print experience into establishing an expertise on creating successful web presence. Thus began the reinvigoration of Creative Image Group. State of the Company Today the company primarily creates and maintains corporate websites...

...A server role in Windows Server 2008 R2 is defined as a service, feature, or program which allows a specific job function within a computer network. Many of these services are optional and do not come installed with Windows Server 2008 by default. Once roles are properly installed and configured they can become automated at a System Administrator’s disposal. The server roles available in Windows Server 2008 R2 are listed as follows: Active Directory Certificate Services This service is used for assigning and managing digital certificates used in software such as Adobe PDF’s. The AD-CS service is an excellent way to offer an extra layer of security among documents and files. Security layers consist of file encryption, digital signatures, and key authentication. AD-CS can also aid with Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Service (HTTPS) and authentication for employees using VPN services. Active Directory Domain Services Active Directory Domain Services allows computer, user, and device information to be stored. This allows for an easier, visual based management in a tree structured format; the domain is the host controller. AD-DS makes IT administration easier by allocating resources in one central, secure location. Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) ADFS is a service which authenticates users in-between two parties over an extranet. This server provides user identity which recognizes and authenticates a user between two different servers, businesses, or locations in...
