The continuous usage of ICT is an essential requirement of the society, especially during a disaster. Besides that, resilient ICT is desirable not only for almost any business environment but also for business continuity planning of such businesses in order to make their internal ICT resilient. We first discuss the requirements of resilient ICT based on surveys of the latest technologies that aim to improving resiliency, such as virtualization of servers and networks. We then argue that it is necessary to consider two levels of ICT resiliency. Additionally, we propose how to select evaluation means of the technologies for facilitating resiliency, and operational frameworks for achieving resiliency.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115593572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to extract all XML data that match queries from the XML streams immediately and efficiently under the constraint of scanning the streams only once. A grammar-based, continuous-query matching method, namely GCQ, is proposed. GCQ generates a context-free grammar according to the queries being processed, and then produces a parser capable of parsing the grammar by using a compiler tool such as YACC. With the parser, GCQ matches multiple queries concurrently in XML data streams. With the matured compiler techniques and tools, we concentrate on solving the matching problem by a set of declarative grammar rules. Both of the algorithms for grammar generation and query matching have polynomial time complexity. Experiments were also conducted to show the efficiency and scalability of GCQ in various aspects. Consequently, GCQ is beneficial for building efficient publish/subscribe applications.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130028680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we study the effect of mobile sink and mobile sensors in WSN performance. The WSNs should allow a systematic deployment of sensor nodes including mobility among the sensor nodes. The disseminated data from the sensor nodes are gathered at the sink node. Data dissemination is the major source for energy consumption in WSNs. We consider as evaluation parameters, good put, depletion and Routing Efficiency (RE) to evaluate the performance of WSNs considering different speeds of mobile sink and sensor nodes. The simulation results show that when the network is not congested, the good put when sink and sensor nodes move with 10m/s, is higher than the case when they move at 5m/s. Depletion is higher for higher values of the sink and sensor nodes speed and RE is higher for 5m/s moving speed.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121164206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the User Equipment (UE) moves between the heterogeneous networks such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), SIP is used to perform the handoff for SIP-based multimedia services. This paper proposes a Fast Security Association (SA) Update mechanism to improve the handoff performance for secure SIP/IMS access in the integrated UMTS-WLAN environments. Specifically, the Fast SA Update mechanism reduces the SIP messages transmitted between the UE and the IMS. Thus, this mechanism not only reduces the radio bandwidth consumption due to handoff but also saves the battery power of the UE.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121785484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to establish early warning indicators, principal component analysis is used to analyze, in the first instance, first-year engineering student academic records.

The trade-offs for encoding methods are the moderate increase of software complexity due to the need of a simple communication protocol to distinguish different types of data packets.
