Quality of Services Based on Routing in IP Networks
Multimedia applications have very stringent Quality of Service (QoS) demands and require a connection oriented service. For these applications, a path satisfying their requirements in terms of bandwidth, delay, buffer etc.The goal of QoS routing algorithms is to find a loop-less path satisfying a given set of constraints on parameters like bandwidth, delay, etc. The path selection process could return either the entire path to the destination or the best next hop for the request.The first case is called as Source routing and the second is referred to as distributed routing, Proposed system uses a new distributed QoS routing algorithm for unicast flows, which has a very low call establishment overhead.

Rogan's World
This book discusses the origins of internet in the context of globalization, the emergence of World Wide Web and Podcasting phenomena. It focuses on a young man's opinion in the context of digitalization and war. The author uses a historical perspective and his journalistic ability to objectively describe Joe Rogan as an individual who has influence on society due to his communication output. The book is full of humorous takes on irreversible societal and technological changes, war, and communication as a whole. This book is recommended for everyone interested in politics, podcasting, comedy or technology. 'Creating these robots and observing how they learn, we want to see how they gradually begin to understand that they are created by us, that their existence is conditioned by simulation. Doing all this, being so inventive, we find a way to continue fighting. Rivers of blood flow. The gods of war are pleased, but their hunger never ends. The technologies I mentioned earlier march hand in hand with human interest. Drones are used to blow up houses, and artificial intelligence spies on your private life. Private? What's that? Artificial intelligence continues to carry packets encoded with ones and zeros through fields and mountains, carried by electricity and thin cables. Bullets, explosions, dirt, and poverty are much closer and more tangible concepts for an ordinary worker... In Ukraine, the land is nourished by blood, ashes, and the remains of the fallen. Later, it will yield crops and sunflowers. Fields and meadows will flourish. The harvest will be abundant because the fertilizers were highly effective and plentiful. The fields will fall under Corporate America and Corporate Deutschland. They will cultivate and sell food for future generations. Everything is planned and calculated. Fields will be worked by robots, occasionally unearthing the bones of Ukrainian soldiers.'

With system security an increasingly fundamental part of a connected world, it has never been more important that cyber professionals understand the pen test and its potential applications. Pen Testing from Contract to Report offers a step-by-step overview of the subject. Built around a new concept called the Penetration Testing Life Cycle, it breaks the process into phases, guiding the reader through each phase and its potential to expose and address system vulnerabilities. The result is an essential tool in the ongoing fight against harmful system intrusions. In Pen Testing from Contract to Report readers will also find: Content mapped to certification exams such as the CompTIA PenTest]Detailed techniques for evading intrusion detection systems, firewalls, honeypots, and moreAccompanying software designed to enable the reader to practice the concepts outlined, as well as end-of-chapter questions and case studies Pen Testing from Contract to Report is ideal for any cyber security professional or advanced student of cyber security.
Media Technology in Education
This volume offers rare perspectives examining the influence of media technology on learning patterns and behaviours among today's youth in Uganda. The various contributions from international scholars discuss general introductory aspects dealing with the fabric and structure of Uganda's society and educational institutions, and how they are affected by new media technology and innovations.Next to outlining the increasing challenge to unify traditional patterns and the adaptation of media-based practices that modern societies are built upon, the book offers detailed insight into practical solutions that serve as inspiring examples of how to successfully bridge the gap between the two.While titles on youth and media tend to focus on a Western perspective, the proposed volume enables a closer look at things in a country and a region often neglected by researchers. The work offers a specific examination of media and education provided by national and international scholars.
The Rise of the Algorithms
The meteoric rise of online video is reshaping the competition for human attention. The Rise of the Algorithms argues that this new technology has changed the way we interact with others, our relationships with public institutions, and our very own behaviors and psyches. In tracing the origins and evolution of online video, John M. Jordan examines the mechanics--and the ethical stakes--of online video platforms, especially YouTube and TikTok but also others, such as Twitch. Tracing the use of algorithms pioneered by Facebook and Google and so successfully exploited by TikTok's corporate parent, ByteDance, Jordan shows how these platforms now engineer human behavior--with consequences for culture, politics, and identity. Jordan argues that we are at an inflection point. Until now we have proved, as a society, ill-prepared or unwilling to address such problems as the power of digital platforms, the personal cost of viral celebrity, the invasion of privacy, and the proliferation of disinformation. The Rise of the Algorithms combines this urgent assessment with a clear-eyed discussion of present challenges and recommendations for reclaiming our online futures.A valuable resource for understanding the transformations that have been and will be brought by YouTube, TikTok, and similar platforms, Jordan's timely book is a vital work for anyone who uses the internet and especially for policy makers, technologists, communication and media specialists, and researchers who have a direct hand in determining the future of our online world.

Systems and Implemented Technologies for Data-Driven Innovation, Addressing Data Spaces and Marketplaces Semantic Interoperability Needs
In the second i3-MARKET series book we review the basic technological principles, software best practices, and standards for implementing and deploying data spaces and data marketplaces. The book provides a definition for data-driven society as: The process to transform data production into data economy for the people using the emerging technologies and scientific advances in data science to underpin the delivery of data economic models and services. This book further discusses why data spaces and data marketplaces are the focus in today's data-driven society as the trend to rapidly transform the data perception in every aspect of our activities. In this book, technology assets that are designed and implemented following the i3-MARKET backplane reference implementation (WebRI) that uses open data, big data, IoT and AI design principles is introduced. Moreover, the series of software assets grouped as sub-systems and composed by software artefacts are included and explained in full. Further, we describe i3-MARKET backplane tools and how these can be used for supporting marketplaces and its components including details of available data assets. Next, we provide descriptions of solutions developed in i3-MARKET as an overview of the potential for being the reference open-source solution to improve data economy across different data marketplaces.
Concepts and Design Innovations Addressing the Digital Transformation of Data Spaces and Marketplaces
In the first part of the i3-MARKET Book series we begin by discussing the principles of the modern data economy that makes readers more aware about the value of the data that is produced everyday by individuals and also in a collective manner, i.e. in an industrial manufacturing plant, a smart city full of sensors generating data about the behaviours of the city and their inhabitants and/or the wellbeing and healthcare levels of a region or specific locations. Data, and the use of it, is one of the most disruptive areas in today's global economy, particularly with the value that large corporations have embedded in their solutions and products because of their use of data from every individual.
