Access Security and Personal Privacy in Public Cellular Communication Systems: The Past, the Present and Beyond 2020

2010

In order to predict the future one needs to understand the past and then interpolate as best as possible. We expect this to work reasonably well for a “2020 Scenario”, but we do not expect this approach to be valid for a “Beyond 2020” scenario.

VEF Traces: A Framework for Modelling MPI Traffic in Interconnection Network Simulators

2015

Simulation is often used to evaluate the behaviour and measure the performance of computing systems. Specifically, in high-performance interconnection networks, the simulation has been extensively considered to verify the behaviour of the network itself and to evaluate its performance. In this context, network simulation must be fed with network traffic, also referred to as network workload, whose nature has been traditionally synthetic. These workloads can be used for the purpose of driving studies on network performance, but often such workloads are not accurate enough if a realistic evaluation is pursued. For this reason, other non-synthetic workloads have gained popularity over last dec…

Does Animation Facilitate Comprehension of Public Information Graphics? Evidence from Eye Tracking.

2011

Graphic information displays have the potential to communicate public information in situations where normal announcement types are ineffective. This study used eye tracking techniques to analyze comprehension mechanism of event-related information on railway traffic disruptions presented via different graphic formats. One hundred thirteen participants were asked to understand and compare series of traffic disruption messages delivered via three purely visual formats. Animated displays were the most effective presentation type. Eye tracking data showed why an animation facilitates comprehension: it enhances processing strategies which provide the best condition for segmenting the causal cha…

Carbon monoxide detection

2019

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a particularly toxic gas, and the CO poisoning is the leading cause of fatal poisoning in the world. One solution to deal with this dangerous gas is to exploit the advantages given to us by the applications and the technology advances in internet of things (IoT). In this context, we propose to integrate carbon monoxide detection objects to the internet, as part of civil protection intervention applications in case of detection of carbon monoxide to avoid poisoning. To do this, we propose a typical IoT architecture to manage the alerts sent to civil protection in the event of detection of carbon monoxide (CO). The architecture is based on the Message Queue Telemetry T…

The Antecedents of Consumers’ Negative Attitudes Toward SMS Advertising: A Theoretical Framework and Empirical Study

2013

Short message service (SMS) advertising refers to the transmission of advertising via mobile phones in the form of text-based messages (Haghirian, Madlberger, and Tanuskova 2005). Recent marketing research indicates that investigations on consumers’ attitudes toward SMS advertising are limited, and empirical examination of antecedents that negatively influence attitudes toward SMS advertising is even scarcer. As a consequence of this lack of knowledge, current practices of mobile advertising might be ineffective. This research examines irritation, privacy concerns, and intrusiveness perception as main factors that provoke a negative attitude toward SMS advertising. Using structural equation…

Effects of message appeal and service type in CSR communication strategies

2015

Abstract Studies highlight the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for companies' stakeholders. Consumers, however, are often unaware of such initiatives. Understanding how to effectively communicate socially responsible initiatives is an important challenge for both researchers and managers, who invest considerable resources in CSR initiatives. This study examines consumers' responses to two types of CSR initiatives (environment-related and employee-based) using two types of message appeals (emotional and rational) across two service types (hedonic and utilitarian). Responses provide data on consumers' awareness of CSR initiatives, attitudes toward the company, perceived co…

The effects of message framing in CSR advertising on consumers’ emotions, attitudes, and behavioral intentions

2022

While recent research on sustainability communication demonstrates the relevance of message framing, research on the effects of message framing on consumers' emotions is scant. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (5-0-R) framework, this paper examines the impact of environmental advertisements (stimuli) on two discrete emotions - hope and guilt - (organism) and how these emotions influence consumers' behavioral intentions (responses). Relying on the prospect theory, this study focuses on positive (gain) and negative (loss) frames. Study 1 shows that, in the context of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a gain message elicits hope while a loss-message triggers guilt. Study 2 shows that …

X-stream CSD atbalsts Vērtspapīru uzskaites sistēmā

2015

Bakalaura darba mērķis ir novērtēt Vērtspapīru uzskaites sistēmas ziņojumu apmaiņas ar X-stream CSD sistēmas ieviešanas iespējamību, apskatīt ierobežojumus un ieviešanas prasības. Papildus nepieciešams novērtēt esošo situāciju un X-stream CSD atbalsta ieviešanas Vērtspapīru uzskaites sistēmā potenciālās priekšrocības un ieguvumus. Sekundārie bakalaura darba mērķi ir iegūt plašākas zināšanas par ISO 20022 standartu un NASDAQ OMX piedāvātā X-stream CSD risinājuma iespējām un metodēm, kuru izmantošana ļauj veikt atbalsta ieviešanu Vērtspapīru uzskaites sistēmā. Pēc darbā aprakstītās realizācijas ir jāspēj veikt X-stream CSD atbalsta ieviešanu Vērtspapīru uzskaites sistēmā.
