Peering into the online future

The New York Times recently reported an exciting online trial of open community peer review. But this was not an experiment by one of the innovative new electronic journals — rather, it was carried out by a longstanding, prestigious publication in the supposedly-conservative humanities literature. ICaST’s co-Editor-in-Chief takes a look at how the web is transforming the way in which researchers in many disciplines share and develop their thoughts and ideas.

Ask someone off the street what they think of Shakespeare and you’re likely to get a mixed response. For many people the practical experience is one of stultifying English lessons, baffling encounters with Ye Olde Talke and something weird involving men in tights.

Which Architectures for the Cognitive Networks of the Future?

Network evolution towards self-aware autonomous adaptive networking aims at reducing the burden of configuring and managing networks, which leads to performance degradation. In order to optimize network operations, the introduction of self-awareness, self-management, and self-healing into the network was proposed, leading to a novel paradigm in networking — known as cognitive networking. However, such paradigm requires novel architectures to enable cooperation among network devices and across the network.

Interview with James Joshi, General Chair of CollaborateCom 2010

This month we talk to James Joshi, General Chair of CollaborateCom 2010. We ask him about the conference itself, the latest challenges and recent innovations of the field, and also about personal commitments.

Technology has evolved from standalone tools, to open systems supporting collaboration in multi-organizational settings, and from general purpose tools to specialized collaboration grids. Future collaboration solutions that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration require advancements in networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and interoperation with application-specific components and tools.

Interview with Dr. Ibrahim Baggili, General Chair of 2nd International ICST Conference on Digital Forensics & Cyber Crime (ICDF2C)

The Internet has made it easier to perpetrate traditional crimes by providing criminals an alternate avenue for launching attacks with relative anonymity. The increased complexity of the communication and networking infrastructure is making investigation of the crimes difficult, while clues of illegal activities are often buried in large volumes of data that needs to be sifted through in order to detect crimes and collect evidence.
