Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Web Privacy: Issues, Legislations, and Technological Challenges(IGI Global, 2008) Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.People all over the world increasingly are concerned about the privacy issues surrounding the personal information collected by private organizations, governments and employers. Privacy relates to issues regarding collection, secure transmission, storage, authorized access, usage, and disclosure of personal information. This information is used for commercial gain by many organizations. Individual privacy concerns significantly affects consumer willingness to engage in electronic commerce over the Internet. The increased use of the Internet and Web for everyday activities is bringing new threats to personal privacy. This chapter assessed various issues related to individual privacy on the Web, growing concerns among the Web users, technologies employed for collecting and protecting information on the Web, privacy-enhancing technologies and the legal provisions to curb the Web privacy. This chapter also reported detailed discussion about Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), its structure, present scenario of its implementation and its future success. Global consistency on Internet privacy protection is important to promote the growth of electronic commerce. To protect consumers in a globally consistent manner, legislation, self-regulation, technical solutions and combination solutions are different ways that can be implemented. © 2008, IGI Global.Conference Object Complexity Engineering, Evolution and Optimality of Structures(Morgan Kaufmann Pub inc, 1999) Kundu, SComplexity Engineering deals with harnessing the power of Cellular Automata (CA) like simple models to solve real life difficult and complex engineering problems, dealing with systems that have very simple components that collectively exhibit complex behaviors. The state transition rules are generally fixed in a CA, but evolution of the rules, is considered here. To evolve the local rules, we use the Genetic Algorithm (GA) model. The example application described here will serve to demonstrate that the GAs can discover CA rules that give rise to emergent computational strategies by self-organization and exhibit globally coordinated tasks for optimization, with simple local interactions only.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Efficient Software Review Process for Small and Medium Enterprises(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2007) Mishra, D.; Mishra, A.A considerable amount of software is produced world-wide by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). These organisations do not have enough resources to implement a rigorous quality plan. It has been established that reviews of various artifacts play a very important role in ensuring the quality of software. Traditional review methods are rigorous and their implementation is cumbersome for SMEs. A new review process which is easy to implement and requires almost no documentation is introduced. It is based on reviewers' efforts to produce high-quality software while minimising the inspection cost. Additionally, people who are conducting this review need not be present at the same place during most phases of the review process. This process has been successfully implemented in a CMM level 3 software development company intending to achieve CMMI level 5 and results are found to be quite encouraging.Article Citation - WoS: 102Citation - Scopus: 113A 1.6-Mm, Metal Tube Ultrasonic Motor(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2003) Cagatay, S; Koc, B; Uchino, KA miniaturized metal tube ultrasonic motor, the dimensions of which are 1.6 mm in diameter and 6 rum in length, was developed. Two flattened surfaces with 90-degrees were ground on the outer surface of the stator. Two PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics were bonded onto these flat surfaces. The asymmetrical surface of the stator developed the split of the two degenerated orthogonal bending modes, resulting in a wobble motion. The working frequency of the 1.6-mm motor with 6 mm in length was 130 kHz. A torque of 0.5 mNm was reached at a maximum power of 45 mW with a speed of 45 rad/sec. The maximum efficiency was 16%.Article Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4A Layered Security Architecture for Corporate 802.11 Wireless Networks(Ieee, 2004) Erten, YM; Tomur, EIn this study we have investigated the security aspects of wireless local area networks and discussed the weaknesses associated with various conventional 802.11 security protocols such as WEP and 802.1x. We propose an architecture to control access to corporate 802.11 wireless networks, based on the privileges and location of users, using the tested wired network components such as VPNs and Firewalls. The presented architecture reduces the security risks in enterprise level deployment of wireless LANs.Conference Object A Bayes decision model for RSS based location estimation(Ieee, 2007) Dincer, Zeynep; Oektem, Rwen; Aydin, ElifThis work introduces a location estimation method based on Bayes Decision Theory using Radio Signal Strengths for indoor environment. Signal Strengths are observed through three transmitters at three distinct frequencies in UHF band, an active RFID tag and a modem connected to a computer. The test environment is 2100cmx720cm, which is divided into classed of square grids. For each class, a set of received signal strengths are measured and processed. Assuming that the class in which the RFID tag was located in the previous time of measurement is known, the next location (class) is estimated using Bayes Decision Theory. Proposed method is tested in a laboratory environment with obstacles. Results show that proposed method will be successful in location estimation where the estimation error stays within around 2m.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Optical Properties of Tlins2 Layered Single Crystals Near the Absorption Edge(Springer, 2006) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The sample thickness effect on the optical properties of TlInS2 layered crystals has been investigated at room temperature. The absorption coefficient of the samples calculated from the experimental transmittance and reflectance in the photon energy range of 1.10-3.10 eV has two absorption regions. The first is a long-wavelength region of 1.16-1.28 eV. The second region lies above 2.21 eV with a thickness-dependent indirect band gap. The energy gap decreases from 2.333 to 2.255 eV as the sample thickness increases from 27 to 66 mu m. The differential spectra of absorption coefficient demonstrates the existence of a thickness-dependent impurity level being lowered from 2.360 to 2.307 eV as sample thickness increases from 27 to 66 mu m.
