Poster 1:A Framework to Analyze Conflicts between Business and Technological Models of Privacy-enhancing Solutions for Electronic Commerce Abstract: This paper proposes a framework to analyze conflicts between the business and technological models in privacy-enhancing technologies for electronic commerce. It discusses the way in which ontology and bias are embedded both in code and business plans, and how these conflicts create policy problems. Authors: |
Poster 2: The Real-time State Observation System for WWW Server Abstract: Web site administrators measure several different performance indices, including the number of concurrent connections, response time and throughput. This paper proposes a new index of server performance and describes implementation of a real-time state distinction system. We define three possible states for the server: Normal, Saturated, and Stop. We developed a new system that distinguishes these server states, and showed the validity of our system through a series of benchmark tests. Authors: |
Poster 3: Analysis and Improvement of Fairness among Many TCP Connections Sharing Tail-Drop and RED Routers Abstract: In this paper, we first describe a new simple analysis method for determining the window size distribution of many TCP connections sharing a bottleneck router. We confirm that RED does not help improve the router's throughput even when appropriate control parameters are chosen but that it is still useful to provide the fairness among many competing TCP connections.

Poster 4: Information Technology Industry in Pakistan Abstract: This paper summarizes new developments in the information technology sector in Pakistan and describes the work of the APTUC Technology Group, a non-profit training institute within the National Trade Union. APTIC has provided over 600 trade union leaders, workers, government officials, semi-government officials, lawyers, students, women and NGO employees, with basic orientation and short-term training in computer and Internet use. The APTUC Technology Group seeks to help marginalized population and grassroots organizations improve their use of information technology. Author: |
Poster 5: Stigmergy Principle for Mobile Agent-based Intrusion Detection Abstract: This poster deals with an Intrusion Response System (IRS) based on Mobile Agents (MAs) distributed in the network. This IRS is dependent upon an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) also based on MAs. The designs of both the IDS and the IRS were inspired by biological systems, including the human immune system and insect pheromone detection systems. Author: |
Poster 6: LEARNStat: A Network Traffic Analyzing Tool for Bandwidth Monitoring and Network Management Abstract: LEARNStat analyzes and reports on either Cisco 'NetFlow' data collected by 'NetFlowMet' or data metered by 'NeTraMet'. LEARNStat also uses 'RRDTools', a tool for plotting time series data to present collected and analyzed data. The on-line module of LEARNStat provides a near real time data flow analysis capability and alerts via a common Web based interface. Author: |
Poster 7: Technical Intelligence -A Global Technological University Abstract: This paper proposes an Internet-based Global Technological University, which would enable interaction among students and talented professionals, create a network of "ready-to-help mentors," foster technology transfer, and provide access to financial assistance Author: |
Poster 8: Dimension of "Human Resources" in the Networks Security Evaluation Abstract: This contribution introduces a new approach for assessing the security of computer networks, which attempts to quantify human factors. By taking into account the people with access to the computer networks, it will enable the implementation of a more objective and thorough assessment tool. It was developed as part of a network security assessment tool using the Common Criteria for IT security. Authors: |
Poster 9: Aiming for Real Access to Technology I Abstract: bridges.org's 12 Real Access criteria: bridges.org have set out the 12 criteria which determine whether or not people have "real access" to technology; i.e. access that goes beyond just physical access and makes it possible for people to use technology effectively to improve their lives. Author: |
Poster 10: Aiming for Real Access to Technology II Abstract: bridges.org's 12 Real Access criteria: Continuing from bridges.org first poster on real access to technology, this poster further examines the effect of access to technology that goes beyond simple physical access and has the potential for real impact on the lives of people in developing countries.
