Abstract
Recent advances in hardware, software, and communication technologies are enabling the design and implementation of a whole range of different types of networks that are being deployed in various environments. One such network that has received a lot of interest in the last couple of years is the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). VANET has become an active area of research, standardization, and development because it has ....etc

Introduction

According to the American Marketing Association, green marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus green marketing incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task where several meanings intersect and contradict each other; an example of this will be the existence of varying socia ....etc

Tourism Development Initiatives and Challenges of Kerala
The size and economic significance
of travel and tourism have attracted
the attention of many developed and
developing countries in actively promot-
ing tourism as a way to stimulate their
economies, and in the process, many
have been successful in attracting large
number of international tourists (WTTC,
2003). For developing countries, World
Tourism Organization (WTO, 1998) has
recognized the potential of tourism sec-
tor for the purpose of poverty alleviation

Connected Sensor Cover: Self-Organization of Sensor Networks for Efficient Query Execution (Java)
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Vol. 14, No. 1

Abstract:
Spatial query execution is an essential functionality of a sensor network, where a query gathers sensor data within a specific geographic region. Redundancy within a sensor network can be exploited to reduce the communication cost incurred in execution of such queries. Any reduction in communication cost would result in an efficient use of the battery energy, which is ....etc

Challenges in the Migration to 4G

Second-generation (2G) mobile systems were very successful in the previous decade. Their success prompted the development of third generation (3G) mobile systems. While 2G systems such as GSM, IS-95, and cdmaOne were designed to carry speech and low-bit-rate data, 3G systems were designed to provide higher-data-rate services. During the evolution from 2G to 3G, a range of wireless systems, including GPRS, IMT-2000, Bluetooth, WLAN, and HiperLAN, have been developed. All these systems were designed independen ....etc

Global Challenges for Multinational Corporate are Corporate Social Performance - An evolving Concern for all

Abstract:

The future belongs to those who understand that doing more with less is compassionate, prosperous, and enduring, and thus more intelligent, even competitive.
- Paul Hawken

Global integration of markets across countries has created a favorably climate for corporates to grow into large entities. The number of MNC's including Indian MNC's is growing rapidly. Many such corpora ....etc

A multi-scale model for electrochemistry in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been developed. The multi-scale model involves four scales: atomic-scale for kinetics of chemical/electrochemical reaction, nano-scale for surface reactions, micro-scale for electrolyte transport, and macro-scale. The energetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions are computed using quantum computation which serves as input for the kinetics on nano-scale catalysts which is simulated using the dynamic Monte Carlo (DMC) method. A full fuel cell model w ....etc

Abstract

The use of sensor networks in aquatic environments has been quite limited, partially due to the harsh underwater environments and associated high system costs. Nevertheless, cost-effective and resource-efficient Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) will bring significant benefits to numerous aquatic applications. The unique properties of underwater environments raise many new challenges in building an efficient UWSN. We will discuss several architectural challenges and possible research topics in this paper.

Abstract
Ocean bottom sensor nodes can be used for oceanographicdata collection, pollution monitoring, offshore explorationand tactical surveillance applications. Moreover, Unmannedor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (UUVs, AUVs),equipped with sensors, will find application in exploration ofnatural undersea resources and gathering of scientific data incollaborative monitoring missions. Underwater acoustic networkingis the enabling technology for these applications. UnderwaterNetworks consist of a variable number of sensors and vehiclesth ....etc

a pervasive computing environment can be expected based on the recent progresses and advances in computing and communication technologies. Next generation of mobile communication will include both popular infrastructured wireless networks and novel infrastructureless mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). A MANET is collection of wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any pre-existing fixed network infrastructure. Wireless ad-hoc networks are increasingly being used ....etc
