Internet Technology Diffusion: Adoption of IPV6

Abstract: With the explosive growth of the Internet in the 1990s, the scalability of current technologies has become a significant issue. The current version of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) apart from some other drawbacks limits the number of available IP addresses. The next version of IP, version 6 (IPv6), provides a comprehensive solution to several limitations of current Internet technology. However, to date Ipv6 has not been widely adopted. Traditional diffusion theory suggests five factors that effect adoption of new technologies. Economists who suggest network externalities and economic returns as additional factors provide an alternative perspective. This paper discusses these factors and how they are likely to influence the uptake of IPv6 by Internet Service Providers.

Towards the Internet of Things: An Introduction to RFID Technology

Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology making its way to supply chains in Retail, Pharmaceutical, and other industries. RFID extends the reach of supply chain information systems in such a way that it will soon be possible and economically feasible to tag valuable physical objects and then to track and trace them, enabling many novel and useful applications. This paper provides an introduction to RFID for practitioners with a computer science background.

Networking Foundations for Collaborative Computing at Internet Scope

Abstract: : Despite significant proliferation of Internet services in recent years, technology for computer-supported cooperative work and groupware have not progressed at the same rate. A wider distribution of the work force motivates the need for networked multimedia and groupware at Internet scope and for larger groups of end-users. In particular, synchronous telecollaboration enables people in different geographic locations to bridge time and space by sharing and jointly manipulating multimedia information in realtime and at various levels of granularity. This aspect stands in contrast to legacy client-server applications such as Internet radio broadcast or video-on-demand, and to asynchronous, document-centric collaboration tools like email, instant messaging, or chat rooms. In this paper, we provide a framework for network-supported synchronous multimedia groupwork at Internet scope and for large user groups. Contributions entail an novel classification for such systems concerning scale and scope of interaction, a formal framework for Internet sessions and mediation of access to concurrently shared resources, a taxonomy of crucial elements in cooperative applications, and a discussion of a generic network coordination protocol to sustain live interaction among concurrently active user groups. The core ideas put forward in this paper are useful for the characterization and rapid prototyping of a new generation of collaborative applications.
