INTRODUCTION C ONCURENTLY with the advent and progress of the globalisation process all enterprises, whatsoever their size, are confronted with a tough market in which knowledge supported by new technologies has become one of the main production impetus, alongside capital and labour. In particular, this is true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) where knowledge plays an important role for coping with the competition and quality requirements. A natural consequence of this situation, the existing vocational training programmes had to be updated and adapted to respond to the nowadays market requirements in most enterprises. The crucial role of digital technologies in shifting vocational training from just-in-case to justin-time to fulfil training requirements is undisputed. Therefore training and learning had to switch rapidly to the newly developed domain, called e-Learning, meaning ... the use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services as well as remote exchanges and collaboration (EU eLearning Action Plan ­ 2001).

By comparison with the mass media, we can identify all basic characteristics of the latter: a location where the message is elaborated to be then spread through specific channels of distribution bearing in mind the same goals. Moreover, tourism as mass media allows the target to check the information on location during the trip, a kind of feed back that makes the information the more trustworthy.

INTRODUCTION HE topic Visions of Sustainability of ATLAS annual conference entailed me to ask myself which is my vision on that subject. After a moment of meditation I found out that I have none. So, I started to ponder over. From all the questions I asked myself and I realized that I have chosen some: -What is tourism? -What is sustainability? -How can tourism be connected with sustainability? I stop myself here, as the answers were quite unusual. The first one is about the meaning of tourism. I. WHAT IS TOURISM? Is tourism just a nowadays activity or has travel enlarged so far its meanings that we have to determinate the meaning of these terms? Main notice: the gap between different countries allows me to state that tourism (in its classical meaning) is only for rich countries and people: we can not talk about tourism in Ethiopia, or Bangladesh, or Afghanistan; there we can find travels of some minorities. More complexes are the situations in the former socialist countries where, for a couple of decades people have enjoyed mass tourism. The main document after Rio might be The Earth Council ­ Agenda 21 for the Travel and Tourism Industry: Toward Environmental Sustainable Development of the WTO and WTTC.

Routing diversity refers to the dynamism of routing between endpoints. As we are interested in the security issues related to networks we will start giving some general definitions to vulnerability, threats and controls. A vulnerability is a weakness, the threat is a circumstance which has the potential to determine a loss and the control is an action, device, procedure or technique that reduces or removes a vulnerability. We intent to present a list of the most relevant vulnerabilities for computer networks. Another issue of network security is the profile of the attackers. In order to have that, it is interesting to gather some motivation attributes. From those we can list: money, fame, challenge, and ideology. Regarding ideology, there is a long history of computer security events related to the tension in U.S. and China relations. The data siege which took place in Estonia this year is another example and is said to be determined by the relations between Estonia and Russia. Denning proposed two types of behaviors related to ideology: hactivism and cyberterrorism [5]. Hactivism is intended to disrupt normal operations but not causing serious damage. On the other hand, cyberterrorism is more dangerous, it is politically motivated and the intentions are to cause severe damages. II.

Applications that are expensive in resources (either memory or time consuming, or both) are far beyond the capabilities of a regular computer. They are being approached again, from a different point of view: their study is oriented towards resource sharing technologies ­ grid and cluster computing. While cluster computing is using very expensive multi-processor machines, grid computing is establishing itself as the de facto standard for solving computationally or data intensive problems. Grids use a large structure of computing resources, connected by a network (the internet), in order to solve large-scale computation problems. The grid computing model is making a better use of distributed resources, put them together in order to achieve higher throughput and be able to tackle large scale computation problems. It also offers better means of sharing research results.

This paper presents some of the solutions implemented and currently used for optimization of backup management on an university network. Keywords -- backup management, networking, backup server, open source. I. INTRODUCTION N important role of the network is to provide an infrastructure for remote backup of computer data. There are many backup solutions currently available [1], some open source, others commercial, some easy to configure but lacking features, others very complex and refined but cryptic for the regular user, some on disk, others on tape. While offering backup services during the last decade for a large network of computers in an academic environment, the authors experimented with multiple solutions and a large array of software packages. This paper offers an overview of the experience we got in the field and presents some of the work we have done to improve the efficiency of the backup process. Some of the ideas presented here are already implemented and used in a production environment containing more than 1000 computers including desktops, servers, and clusters. Other ideas belong to an open source software project for backup management, which is a work in progress. Most existing backup solutions are tailored for the desktop user, usually involving local or network backup storage space (DVD, USB external disk, web service) and software that copies files from the main working area to the media. These solutions are expensive in terms of infrastructure and user time, and have deep privacy implications. They do not provide a systematic backup history      ");

The democratization of knowledge is all to the good if that means the democratization of access to knowledge. The Internet offers the possibility of a freedom of knowledge and information by opening a new medium of communication that escapes the traditional structures of someones control. Furthermore, five specific features of the Internet open up possibilities for future development: interactivity, mult      ");

Abstract -- This study examines the link between computer-aided English lessons and students performance and motivation. The experiment was built on one of Campbell and Stanleys experimental models for educational research. Two groups of students with similar socio-economic backgrounds were randomly appointed to represent G1, the experimental group (N=40) and respectively, G2, the control group (N=40). Both groups were given similar types of written tasks, computer aided in G1. The statistical analysis shows significant differences between the two groups after 39 weeks, differences which were inexistent at the beginning of the experiment. Both proficiency and motivation are much higher in G1, which is attributed to the use of computerized tasks. The findings support the feasibility of integrating the computer in the English classes and suggest that more research be done to evaluate the metacognitive aspects of authentic, computer-aided writing in a foreign language. II. THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS When compared, speaking and writing reveal differences in the three dimensions implied: the situation, the type of language used and the way of thinking and organizing the process, reflected in the types of cognitive behavior. As far as the situation is concerned, it goes without saying that those who write, unlike those who speak, dont share the same space with those for who them write so they cannot use gestures to emphasize or make their point and cannot see or hear if they have made themselves understood. They have the advantage of time, though, the possibility to reflect longer to what they intend to write, but lacking immediate feedback, they have the obligation to express themselves clearly, anticipating the readers understanding difficulties [2].

TERENA is an acronym for the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association. This is an association of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in and around Europe. These NRENs provide advanced, high-speed and high-performance Internet connectivity for universities and research institutions in their countries. TERENA is first and foremost a collaborative organisation. The development and advances in Internet infrastructures and technology have been led by the academic community since the very beginning of the Internet, some thirty-five years ago. In Europe, this leading role has been made possible by cooperation and collaboration between network engineers, managers and researchers in the academic community all over the region. TERENA and the founding organisations and initiatives that preceded it have contributed significantly to this leading role. The core business of the association is to bring together managers, technical specialists and other people in the research networking community with their counterparts from other countries in Europe, mobilising the expertise and experience of hundreds of professionals in the research and education networking area. How can you participate? TERENA activities depend on the human and other resources that are contributed by the research networking community. Task forces are groups of experts who undertake joint work in their common areas of interest. In principle, participation is open to any individual who can offer appropriate expertise, manpower, equipment or services. As a rule, each task force has a limited life span, depending on the work area, scope and number of planned deliverables.

The ATN is based on OSI protocols which are known to be complicated and cumbersome. Additionally there is very little experience and equipment that utilizes them. IP protocols in contrast are much more lightweight and they have been the mainstay of most networks for several decades. Naturally this has lead to the availability of extensive know-how and ample, cheap off the shelf equipment. These advantages have drawn the attention of the aeronautical community. IPv6 is the obvious choice for the new architecture since it overcomes all the limitations of IPv4 and most importantly provides ample addressing spaced, allows for efficient addressing schemes and enables reliable, QoS-based packet flow. These characteristics are of paramount importance for the aeronautical community and were some of the main reasons for selecting OSI over TCP/IP in the first place. To accommodate for the expected growth in aviation over the next decades, ATN must give its place to a new, innovative and flexible architecture, which will allow for enhanced data flow and enable a quantum leap in ATM/CNS information dissemination. Managing the increased number of aircraft in combination with more demanding passengerrelated services will see the requirements for information generation, gathering, and sharing among the various involved entities rise dramatically. The ATENAA project [3] investigated the potential of a new architecture, based on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), which acts as the glue between innovative data link technologies such as Outer Optical Links (OOL) and Kaband air-to-air communications. MANETs have been investigated intensely in the past years, however they have not found their way in commercial applications until now. However their use in military systems has been quite widespread.

They are necessary in order to allow optimum bandwidth, delay and latency so that critical data streaming, as multimedia information to be fully and in time recovered as media information at the receiver side. The involved factors are very different, from the technology related ones to working conditions. Since some problems are as in wired networks they can be solved accordingly. The factors identified by the author as being directly involved are: - Latency - Packet loss - Jitter - Delay - Bandwidth / Throughput However the main problem is related with the particularities of data transmissions when using radio waves. The paper attempts to identify solutions to evaluate the possibility of sending the maximum number of VoIP (Voice over IP) streams as it is available at the application level. Since the problem is already solved in wired networks due to QoS prioritization technique, the article will focus on VoIP over WLAN (Wireless LAN) problems.

BACKGROUND QoS represents the network capability to deliver better services for the selected flows over different technologies. The main goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled latency and jitter, and improved loss characteristics. Also QoS parameters delivering for one or several flows must not determine significant decrease in performance or even elimination of the other flows. A service represents the traffic performance provided to the client and is characterized by the QoS parameters. Loss rate, delay, delay variation or jitter, network availability and bandwidth are the main QoS parameters. QoS techniques represent the specific methods of implementation, including traffic identification and marking, queue and congestion management, link efficiency, traffic shaping and policy, specific protocols. The service and QoS techniques are different but strongly interconnected, since these techniques are used for service construction. The main frameworks and te      ");

Puschita, Student Member, IEEE, Tudor P. Palade, Member, IEEE conventional wired last-mile access systems. IEEE 802.16 realizes a fixed point-to-multipoint wireless broadband access system [2]. Various scenarios will arise, where 802.16 might have to compete with already deployed and operating Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) of 802.11 like in office and residential deployment scenarios [3]. Finally, the success of one technology is determined, not only by their contributions to the way people live, but also by their implementation and technical feasibility [4]. In this paper we first provide an overview of the 802.11 (WiFi) and 802.16 (WiMax) standards. Then a comparative performance on the wireless access segment of these two technologies is performed. The study consist on analyzing (1) the effect of number of nodes and packet length, (2) the effect generated number of packets/second, (3) the influence of adaptive modulation, (4) the influence of mobility, (5) the effect of packet length for communications through the base station. The handover procedure was analyzed considering the effect of the mobile station speed over the links parameters. Transmission performances were extracted considering: (1) throughput, (2) jitter, (3) average end-to-end delays, (4) number of active sessions, (5) handover delays. For the study we used the ns-2 simulator. We have added a mobility package which implements IEEE 802.16 standard. The analysis conclusion recommends the implementation of the IEEE 802.16 standard even for the last-mile wireless access system. II.

The novelty of our approach is that it uses existent protocols to build new ones. Another benefit of the approach is that it maintains at the same time the security properties of all the involved protocols. The approach is based on an extension of the strand space model, which allows an atomic treatment applied on all messages. Using the proposed strand-based model and composition algorithms we illustrate the approach by creating a new protocol from two existing security protocols. Keywords -- Composition, Security Protocols, Strand Spaces. I. INTRODUCTION Security protocols are communication protocols in which participants use encryption to send each other encoded information. With the rapid growth of the Internet and a desperate need to secure communication, in the last few decades the attention of many researchers has been focused towards analyzing security protocols [1]-[2]-[3][4]-[5]-[6]. Recently, there have been several proposals developed to help the process of security protocol design using formal methods and tools [7]-[8]-[9]-[10]-[11]-[12]-[13]. Most of the proposed techniques use a modular approach in the design process, where the user is given a set of small protocols from which more complex protocols can be constructed, process also known as composition [9]-[10][1 1] . In the existing composition techniques, authors mainly deal with the sequential and parallel composability of security properties viewed as a set of information transmitted over messages. However, the composition of message components has not been addressed in a proper manner, meaning that users have to solve the problem of resulting message term duplicates on their own. Solving this problem, apparently insignificant, can lead to protocols executed in half the time the original, composed protocols are executed in. In addition, the composition process can lead t      ");

We present the design of an educational wireless network which handles security based on 802.1X standard. Keywords -- Wireless networks, security, mobility, WIFI, RADIUS, EduRoam authentication, tunneling and the 802.1X standard. In Section VI we describe the hierarchical architecture of our system. Section VII is about our approach for the authentication, user management, mobility and monitoring problems. In Section VIII, EduRoam, the solution for the WiFi mobility between universities is presented. II. SECURITY IN WIRELESS NETWORKS To ensure the security of computer networks there are three attributes that have to be maintained. Integrity refers to maintaining data identically during transfer. This attribute is violated if data is modified by unauthorized users. Confidentiality is achieved if only those being authorized have access to the information transferred on the network. The last criterion of network security is availability. In order to be able to use information, it has to be available all the time. In the past, wireless LAN technology proved to fail in all three areas. Most notable failures were targeted towards confidentiality aspects, both in terms of the fundamental flaws in early encryption protocols (RC4 IV flaw) and the lack of strong user authentication (WEP key management). These problems were solved in newer protocols, however we still have a fundamental flaw regarding availability of wireless network due to its shared transmission medium and the physical properties of radio waves, problem for which no solution is seen in the near future[5] [6].

This work is focused on providing a system that can be used for management of lowrate wireless personal area network equipment. Index Terms -- embedded systems, network management, Personal Area Network, SNMP EEE 802.15.4 was developed to address low-cost and low-power design to enable applications in the fields of industrial, agricultural, vehicular, residential, and medical sensors and actuators [1]. This standard deals with low data rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and moving devices with no battery or very limited battery consumption requirements typically operating in the POS (Personal Operating Space) of 10 m. SNMP framework was developed for management of equipment that uses TCP/IP stack. As this is rather a complex stack, it seems that adding SNMP to devices implementing IEEE 802.15.4 standard is not quite suited.

BACKGROUND Several definitions for Quality of Services (QoS) have been identified throughout the years in different standards and bibliographical references, without any unique and exhaustive formal definition. The most ilustrative definitions of the concept are [1]: [ISO 8402/1986] - Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs. The product, respectively the service, represents the result of the activities or processes within the system. [ITU-T, 1994] - defines the collective effect of services performance, which determines the level of satisfaction of the service user. [ISO/IEC X641] - it defines the qualities that refer to the way an object or a group of objects (components) collectively works, or reflect the qualitative performance of the service offered through the network At network level, QoS represents the network capability to deliver better services for the selected flows over different technologies.

Several types of translation solutions are available for multicast [1]: · Multicast in dual-stack networks: When deploying multicast in a dual-stack network, one will probably want to deploy both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast. They are both mostly deployed using PIM-SM and the classical Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model with Rendezvous Points (RPs) and to some extent SourceSpecific Multicast (SSM). There is no problem deploying both. Both routers and hosts can simultaneously do IPv4 and IPv6 multicast, and both can be done over the same network links. A router could also be an RP for both IPv4 and IPv6 groups. · Application solutions: A single source is sending data to a number of clients. This can be audio and video streaming from a conference or from television. If RTP/RTCP is used, the receivers are also sources because they send RTCP reports. It is not critical to receive the reports though. · Translation solutions: Translation can be performed in several ways. The idea is to have one or more translation devices on the path between sources that use one IP protocol and receivers that use another IP protocol. In some cases translation might also be carried out within the sending or receiving host. This can be useful on a dual-stack host where the application used only supports one IP protocol. In many cases the hardest part, when using translation devices, is to make sure that the translation device will be on the data path. MTP (Multicast Translator Proxy) [2] and UNINETT [3] are translation mechanisms designed for multicast. The first one uses IGMP [4] and MLD [5] protocols and the second one uses PIM-SM [6] for IPv6 and IGMP for IPv4. Both use a special type of IPv6 addresses termed IPv4 compatible IPv6 multicast group address. The address is identified by a /96 prefix for IPv6 mu      ");
