Sosiaalinen media yrityksen sisäisessä viestinnässä
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään sosiaalista mediaa yrityksen sisäisen viestinnän välineenä. Yritykset ovat ottaneet sosiaalisen median osaksi ulkoista viestintäänsä, kuten markkinointia. Vähitellen sosiaalinen media on kuitenkin valtaamassa alaa myös yritysten sisäisestä viestinnästä. Aiheen tutkiminen on mielenkiintoista aiheen ajankohtaisuuden vuoksi. Esimerkiksi Suomessa suurissa yrityksissä on otettu käyttöön sosiaaliseen mediaan pohjautuvia sisäisen viestinnän järjestelmiä. Aiheesta löytyy kuitenkin hyvin vähän tutkimustuloksia; tämä tekee aiheen tutkimisesta entistä tärkeämpää. Tutkielmassa pyritään vastaamaan kirjallisuuden avulla kysymyksiin siitä, mitä ominaisuuksia sisäisellä viest…
Accessibility of the Italian institutional web pages: a survey on the compliance of the Italian public administration web pages to the Stanca Act and…
2014
Accessibility of the Italian public administration web pages is ruled by the Stanca Act and in particular the Decree of the Minister issued on July 8, 2005. In this paper, an objective test is performed on the official web pages of the Italian province and region chief towns to check their compliance to the 22 technical requirements defined by the Stanca Act. A sample of 976 web pages belonging to the websites of the Italian chief towns have been downloaded in the period October---December 2012. Such a data collection has been submitted to Achecker, the worldwide recognized syntax and accessibility validation service. Several accessibility and syntax errors have been found following the aut…
Constructing Knowledge through a Role-Play in a Web-Based Learning Environment
2003
This study aimed to find out how and on what level the students of two separate secondary schools shared and constructed knowledge on imperialism by interacting through historical role characters in a Web-based environment. Furthermore, the study aimed to find out how social and contextual features affected the nature of knowledge sharing and construction. The data about the history project were gathered by various means in order to validate the findings of the case study. The results demonstrated that the level of the Web-based messages remained quite low. Also the use of the Web-based environment in terms of shared knowledge construction was rather weak. In comparison, different instruct…
HTTP-level e-commerce data based on server access logs for an online store
2020
Abstract Web server logs have been extensively used as a source of data on the characteristics of Web traffic and users’ navigational patterns. In particular, Web bot detection and online purchase prediction using methods from artificial intelligence (AI) are currently key areas of research. However, in reality, it is hard to obtain logs from actual online stores and there is no common dataset that can be used across different studies. Moreover, there is a lack of studies exploring Web traffic over a longer period of time, due to the unavailability of long-term data from server logs. The need to develop reliable models of Web traffic, Web user navigation, and e-customer behaviour calls for …
Web Monitoring System and Gateway for Serial Communication PLC
2012
Abstract An industrial process requires interacting with the rest of the plant, being able to exchange data with other devices and monitoring systems in order to optimize production, reporting information and providing control capabilities to distant users. Internet, and, especially web browsers are an excellent tool to provide information for remote users, allowing not only monitoring but also controlling the industrial process as an SCADA software or HMI system. The proposed system does not need specific proprietary software and its associated license costs. In this work, a webserver system is implemented under a Freescale microcontroller, acting as a gateway for a simple PLC with single …
WiSHFUL : enabling coordination solutions for managing heterogeneous wireless networks
2017
The paradigm shift toward the Internet of Things results in an increasing number of wireless applications being deployed. Since many of these applications contend for the same physical medium (i.e., the unlicensed ISM bands), there is a clear need for beyond-state-of-the-art solutions that coordinate medium access across heterogeneous wireless networks. Such solutions demand fine-grained control of each device and technology, which currently requires a substantial amount of effort given that the control APIs are different on each hardware platform, technology, and operating system. In this article an open architecture is proposed that overcomes this hurdle by providing unified programming i…
Optical wireless communication systems
2017
Abstract The emerging field of optical wireless communication (OWC) systems is seen as potential complementary technology to the radio frequency wireless communications in certain applications. It is deemed as a possible technology in the future 5th Generation communication networks to address the spectrum congestion and improve the system’s capacity. More research and developments in OWC is still needed in order for it to be adopted in current and future communication systems. This special issue brings together research papers on OWC covering free space optic, visible communications and ultraviolet communications.
Energy-aware design for wireless mesh networks
2014
International audience; Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are the next step in the development of the wireless architecture, delivering wireless services for a large variety of users in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan areas. Energy efficiency solutions are becoming more vital for both local access networks and wireless networks and Green IT has attracted a considerable attention. However, the application of green network for wireless mesh networks has seldom been described in the literature. However, WMNs infrastructure devices are always active. Thus, during lower traffic periods the energy consumption is the same as in busy hours, while it would be possible to save a large amount of…
Security in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks – A Survey
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Communications. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4304/jcm.6.2.128-142. OA Thanks to recent advances in robotics, sensors and wireless communications, it is feasible to develop a variety of new architectures for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) that play an important role in various applications such as battlefield surveillance, harbor monitoring, etc. However, due to the dynamic of mobile network topology in MWSNs, many new security challenges have emerged. In this article, we give a survey on the state of the art technologies in security aspects of MWSNs. We review existing work that provides securi…
Link scheduling in sensor networks for asymmetric average consensus
2012
Wireless Sensor Networks constitute a recent technology where the nodes cooperate to obtain, in a totally distributed way, certain function of the sensed data. One example is the average consensus algorithm, which allows every node to converge to the global average. However, this algorithm presents two major drawbacks in practice. The first one is that instantaneous symmetric links are required, which are hard to ensure in practice because of the presence of wireless interferences. The second one is that all the nodes are required to communicate with all of their local neighbors in every iteration, which can lead to an unbounded delay. In order to solve these issues, we propose a novel link…
