TL;DR: According to the Internet in India [I Cube] 2007 report published jointly by the Internet and Mobile Association of India and IMRB International, the number of internet users in India in the ever user or claimed user category touched 46 million in September 2007 from 32.2 million in 2006 as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The world is moving towards Electronic Commerce activities at a very fast pace. Internet enables consumers to perform many stages of the sales process in a quick and efficient manner. It also provides comprehensive product information, facilitates comparison shopping, and allows for a condensed sales process. Online buying refers to buying through the Internet. Online buying assists buyers' anywhere, offering a platform with immense flexibility. Internet buying provides an opportunity to individuals to buy and sell products using a company's website. According to the Internet in India [I Cube] 2007 report published jointly by the Internet and Mobile Association of India and IMRB International, the number of internet users in India in the ever user or claimed user category touched 46 million in September 2007 from 32.2 million in September 2006. During the same period, the number of active internet users reached 32 million from 21.1 million (Source: IMRB).

TL;DR: This classroom was not intended to serve as a traditional "computer lab" or computer training facility, Rather, it was intended to function as a regular teaching classroom that allowed the seamless integration of computer and multimedia technology into any class, regardless of its subject content.
Abstract: Several years ago, faculty at the University of Mississippi's School of Business recognized the need to integrate computer and information technology into all aspects of business education in a manner that provides a practical, hands-on learning experience. Accordingly, plans were developed in the summer of 1992 for the construction of a state-of-the-art electronic classroom for large numbers of students in regularly scheduled classes. This classroom was not intended to serve as a traditional "computer lab" or computer training facility. Rather, it was intended to function as a regular teaching classroom that allowed the seamless integration of computer and multimedia technology into any class, regardless of its subject content. The Ole Miss Business Advisory Council and the Business Alumni Chapter enthusiastically endorsed the concept and helped fund the facility. Work began in late summer of 1992, and the electronic classroom was completed by December 1992 for a total of approximately $300,000. This cost included the complete renovation of an existing classroom, a dedicated heating/air conditioning system, and all computer and audiovisual equipment. * Architecture of the Room Many of the classrooms in the university's School of Business are designed for oral presentations and case discussions. A typical classroom contains up to 65 seats in semi-circles on several raised tiers. Therefore, only moderate architectural changes were necessary. We wanted to keep the face-to-face environment of the auditorium while simultaneously enabling students to use computer terminals on the desk in front of them. Figure 1 shows an architectural drawing of the finished electronic classroom. Desks were redesigned in the room to raise computer monitors, recess keyboards, and enclose the mini-tower microcomputer CPUs. In addition, four desks at the front of the room were tailored for wheelchair access. Although several aesthetic modifications were made (new ceiling panels, flooring, lighting, curtains, etc.), most work focused on the installation of wiring under the floor and a new air conditioning system for the room. * Hardware Components Our electronic classroom houses 54 486SX 25MHz microcomputers for students (each configured with 4MB of RAM, 40MB hard disk and 1028x768 color monitor) plus one 486DX2 66MHz computer for the instructor (with 8MB of RAM, 420MB hard disk, color monitor, SoundBlaster card, CD-ROM drive, stereo amplifier and external speakers). It also includes a BARCO video projection system and special software that enables an instructor to project whatever appears on any of the room's 55 monitors onto a large screen at the front. This motorized screen can be used with the BARCO projector for computer or video images or with a standard overhead projection unit. The 55 PCs (and other microcomputers throughout the building) are connected by an Ethernet local area network, via a Compaq ProSignia 486DX2 66Mhz file server outfit with 32MB of RAM and a 1GB hard disk located in a separate utility room at the back of the electronic classroom. Gateways from the LAN provide access to the university's library, mainframe and supercomputers, and the Internet. * Software Utilized in the Room A variety of software is provided on the network, including word processors, spreadsheets, databases, programming languages, etc. All are available for simultaneous use by the students. For example: * Finance classes use spreadsheets to model complex problems such as capital budgeting and cash forecasting. * Production and Operations Management classes use graphics and statistical programs to evaluate control charts and regression results. * Management Information Systems classes use programming languages, data bases, plus systems analysis and design software to design systems. …

TL;DR: The key technology of internet of things and its application model are explored and it is shown that Internet of things will be crucial in future computer application system.
Abstract: Internet of things is defined as a huge network combing with the Internet through using all kinds of information sensing equipments to collect all kinds of required information such as sound, light, heat, electricity, mechanics, chemistry, biology, and position. Analyzed from the structure of networking and the superior controllable performances of Internet of things, Internet of things will be crucial in future computer application system. In this paper, therefore, the key technology of internet of things and its application model are explored.

TL;DR: Existing approaches for implementing IoT search, as well as approaches for setting standards in this area are discussed, which will face a lot of challenges for search services.
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) data services are designed to be available to other services and users by demand. In other words, in practice, the services should be available at any time and at any location. But the big question here is how the other parties become aware of existing services. Sure, for some use cases we could have a static map of available services. But of course, it does not cover all the possible IoT deployment scenarios. So, the search (discovery) should be one of the keys for Internet of Things. And we can see here the whole analogue with the Internet itself. But for Internet of things, we will face a lot of challenges for search services. For example, we will see a lot of resources (billions of devices), heterogeneity, dynamic nature of services, streaming data, etc. In this paper, we discuss existing approaches for implementing IoT search, as well as approaches for setting standards in this area.
