As android devices have increased in number in the past few years, the android operating system has started dominating the smartphone market. The vast spread of android across all the devices has made security an important issue as the android users continue to grow exponentially. The security of android platform has become the need of the hour in view of increase in the number of malicious apps and thus several studies have emerged to present the detection approaches. In this paper, we review the android components to propose a threat model that illustrates the possible threats that are present in the android. We also present the attack taxonomy to illustrate the possible attacks at various layers of the android architecture. Experiments demonstrating the feature extraction and classification using machine earning algorithms have also been performed.

Android Operating System

The Internet is not safe anymore, malware can be discovered anywhere on the Internet. The risk of malware has increased also due to the increasing popularity and use of Smartphones and their underlying cost-free applications. With its great market share, the Android operating system has become a prime target for malware developers. When an Android phone is injected with a malware, it may result in compromising the privacy of the user by stealing sensitive and private information like contacts, ids, passwords, photos, call records, and so on. Compared to any other Android-based application category, games are the most preferred zone for attackers, due to the high interest of users in game applications. When an end user downloads a game, which is injected with malicious code, user data is infected without bringing in the knowledge of the user. Though, there still are not sufficient protection mechanisms or guidelines stated for end user against Android malware, this study offers a novel approach to detect Android malware in order to ensure the safe usage of Android applications. The advantage of this approach is its ability to utilize Android manifest files for the detection of malware. The availability of manifest file in every Android application makes this approach applicable to all Android applications. It can also be considered as a lightweight method for malware detection, and its efficiency is experimentally confirmed by testing and comparing the results of 50 Android games samples. Experiments are carried out using the Android Package Kit (APK) tools, and based on the experiments, different kinds of malware identification and prevention guidelines have been proposed for the safe and secure usage of the Android operating system.

Sistem e-farmers merupakan sebuah sistem penjualan berbasis teknologi (e-commerce) yang dapat diakses melalui website, digunakan untuk membantu para petani menjual hasil pertanian berupa beras secara langsung ke konsumen. Namun dengan adanya kendala dalam hal kepemilikan perangkat komputer dan laptop, petani maupun konsumen yang merupakan pengakses website ladangku.id beralih menggunakan perangkat mobile. Dengan alasan ini, maka peneliti membuat sebuah sistem e-farmers yang awalnya berupa website dapat juga diakses melalui perangkat mobile dengan sistem operasi Android. Karena sistem berbasis website berbeda dengan sistem berbasis mobile, untuk itu dibutuhkan sebuah perancangan sistem e-farmer yang berbasis mobile yang akan terintegrasi dengan sistem berbasis website. Di mana metode yang digunakan adalah metode Research and Development (R&D), yang mana mengembangkan sistem yang sudah ada dan hasil akhirnya menghasilkan sebuah produk berupa rancangan sistem aplikasi e-farmers yang dapat berkerja di platform Android.  E-farmers system is a technology-based commerce system (e-commerce) that can be accessed via a website, used for assisting farmers in selling rice product directly to consumers. However, due to the constraint in the ownership of computer and laptop, farmers and consumers as the users of the website ladangku.id now use mobile devices instead. For this reason, the researcher developed an e-farmers system that was initially only accessible via the website but now can be accessed via mobile devices with the Android operating system. Because the website-based system and mobile-based system are different, it is necessary to have a mobile-based e-farmer system design that is integrated with the website-based system. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) method by developing the existing system, and the final product was in the form of a design of e-farmer application system that can work on Android platform.

Traveling from one place to another takes time and cost. Especially for tourists who get difficulties to find worship locations because of a vast area with the numbers of worship location. This study aims to design application based android to determine the location of worship with the shortest path. A method used to develop the application is Waterfall method that includes the beginning of the analysis phase up to the application maintenance stage. Result from this research is Djikstra method can searching the location with the shortest path. Geolocation technology is used to identify a real-world geographical location that can be applied to the android operating system. As a case study, this research has been successfully applied to searching the location of worship in Kudus District include mosques, christian churches, catholic churches, and monasteries.

The android operating system is basically an operating system for mobiles and is rapidly gaining market share, with dozens of smart phones and tablets either released or set to be released. It is mobile operating system that uses a modified version of the Linux kernel 2.6. Google developed Android as part of the Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 mobile and technology companies working to open up the mobile handset environment. Android’s development kit supports many of the standard packages used by Jetty, due to that fact and Jetty’s modularity and lightweight foot print, it was possible to port Jetty to it so that it will be able to run on the Android platform.

Due to the poor database performance situation on Android operating system, put forward a methods of database access performance optimization. The paper first analyze the Android database access principle, architecture of SQLite and Berkeley DB, and methods of Berkeley DB in concurrent access, then put forward a method of porting Berkeley DB to Android to replace SQLite to enhance the database access performance. Finally a series of practical benchmark results shows that the porting brings performance improvement effect.

From hard to soft: theory and Neolithic studies in Scotland

The Past

The Scottish Theoretical Archaeology Group (STAG) conference organisers expressed some doubts about how far theory has changed, and impacted, archaeological establishment and academia in Scotland. In this paper, I will argue that Scotland is certainly not isolated in a theoretical sense, although in the past, Scottish archaeology could be accused of being theoretically conservative, or at least dependent on ideas and models developed elsewhere. A case-study looking at Neolithic studies will be used to illustrate that despite some recent critical historiographies of the study of the period in Scotland, archaeologists in Scotland and those working with Scottish material have been theoretically innovative and in step with wider paradigm changes. The study of the Neolithic in Scotland, it could be argued, has been shaped by theory more than the study of any other period; we are not isolated, but rather part of wider networks of discourse.
