Abstract: Nowadays, user authentication is one of the important topics in information security. Text based strong password schemes could provide with certain degree of security. However, the fact that strong passwords being difficult to memorize often leads their owners to write them down on papers or even save them in a computer file. Graphical user authentication (GUA) has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text based authentication, motivated particularly by the fact that humans can remember images better ...

This article offers expert opinion on two Internet of Things (IoT) perspectives. The first is a research agenda for the IoT to ensure the development of a trusted, secure, reliable, and interoperable net-centric computing environment. The second discusses the IoT as a human agent, extension, and complement. Both discussions include accompanying video, available at http://youtu.be/ywjekHO1pAM and http://youtu.be/skX7DjB2lyg, respectively.

Purpose – This paper sets out the arguments for the use of social media as a tool for learning in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach – Not applicable – viewpoint paper Findings – Social media can play a valuable role in both formal and informal learning in those organizations in which employees have some discretion over how they use their time and

As wireless sensor networks continue to grow, so does the need for effective security mechanisms. Because sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and/or operate in hostile unattended environments, it is imper- ative that these security concerns be addressed from the beginning of the system design. However, due to inherent resource and computing constraints, security in sen- sor networks poses

▪   We explore the extent to which neocortical circuits generalize, i.e., to what extent can neocortical neurons and the circuits they form be considered as canonical? We find that, as has long been suspected by cortical neuroanatomists, the same basic laminar and tangential organization of the excitatory neurons of the neocortex is evident wherever it has been sought. Similarly, the inhibitory neurons show characteristic morphology and patterns of connections throughout the neocortex. We offer a simple model of cortical processing that is consistent with the major features of cortical circuits: The superficial layer neurons within local patches of cortex, and within areas, cooperate to explore all possible interpretations of different cortical input and cooperatively select an interpretation consistent with their various cortical and subcortical inputs.

Network security issues and game exploits can undermine the gameplay experience of networked games. With this in mind, this work tries to draw attention of the academic community to the issue and, through a vast bibliography, present: why research in this area matters, the state of current research in the field, a categorization of cheating types and, also, some possible

The Jackson Laboratory Colony Management System (JCMS) is a software application for managing data and information related to research mouse colonies, associated biospecimens, and experimental protocols. JCMS runs directly on computers that run one of the PC Windows® operating systems, but can be accessed via web browser interfaces from any computer running a Windows, Macintosh®, or Linux® operating system. JCMS

A common problem faced by institutions concerns the limited availability of expensive robotics and control equipment, with which students in the educational program can work, in order to acquire valuable 'hands on' experience. The Multiple Manipulators for Training and Education (MuMaTe) virtual control and robotics laboratory was launched on the World Wide Web (WWW). Its aim was to evaluate the

The paper would discuss the possibilities of using cloud computing as a solution to expand work efficiency at Taiz
university (TU) Computer Center and Information Technology (CCIT) labs, these Labs equipped with hardware and
software resources. Cloud computing has been adopted for managing the labs to facilitate maintenance and network
management according to cloud computing characteristics, also paper has studied the different types of cloud-based
computing to decide the appropriate type that would gain significant advantages for students and lecturers. Surely
result of this paper will be the guideline for all universities in Yemen to use the cloud computing in different areas of
their work
