The paper initiates a comprehensive conceptual framework for an integrated simulation environment for unmanned autonomous systems (UAS) that is capable of supporting the design, analysis, testing, and evaluation from a “system of systems” perspective. The paper also investigates the current state of the art of modeling and performance assessment of UAS and their components and identifies directions for future developments. All the components of a comprehensive simulation environment focused on the testing and evaluation of UAS are identified and defined through detailed analysis of current and future required capabilities and performance. The generality and completeness of the simulation environment is ensured by including all operational domains, types of agents, external systems, missions, and interactions between components. The conceptual framework for the simulation environment is formulated with flexibility, modularity, generality, and portability as key objectives. The development of the conceptual framework for the UAS simulation reveals important aspects related to the mechanisms and interactions that determine specific UAS characteristics including complexity, adaptability, synergy, and high impact of artificial and human intelligence on system performance and effectiveness.

This paper presents a web based system for recording, monitoring, and studying pediatric patients with bone and joint infections. A rapid prototyping method was followed based on Adobe Fireworks CS3. The database is developed in MySQL. The application is based on PHP and JavaScript. The system’s architecture and design are based on three principles; “to follow the way Medical Doctors think and work,” “to make Medical Doctors work easier and faster,” and “to record scientifically validated data elements for research.” The developed system is “doctor-friendly” because it is based on classifications and knowledge grouping specialized on children infections on bones and joints, using the experience of Medical experts on the field. The benefits of the system expand to Patients, Medical Doctors, HealthCare Systems, Research & Science and every day clinical practice.

Aiming to augment the quality of decision making in vessel dismantling, this paper presents an innovative decision support system that takes into account the diversity of the associated constraints to aid stakeholders handle issues such as the appropriateness of a disposal methodology or the level of safety in a dismantling yard. Being seamlessly integrated with an advanced simulation environment, the system also facilitates the collaborative design of dismantling processes.

Background: The ability to identify and authenticate users is regarded as the foundation of computer security. Although new authentication technologies are evolving, passwords are the most common method used to control access in most computer systems. Research suggests that a large portion of computer security password breaches are the result of poor user security behaviour. The password creation and management practices that online consumers apply have a direct effect on the level of computer security and are often targeted in attacks. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate South African online consumers’ computer password security practices and to determine whether consumers’ perceptions regarding their password security ability is reflected in the password creation and management practices that they apply. Method: A Web-based survey was designed to (1) determine online consumers’ perceptions of their skills and competence in respect of computer password security and (2) determine the practices that South African online consumers apply when creating and managing passwords. The measures applied were then compared to (1) the users’ perceptions about their computer password security abilities and (2) the results of international studies to determine agreement and inconsistencies. Results: South African online consumers regard themselves as proficient password users. However, various instances of unsafe passwords practices were identified. The results of this South African study correspond with the results of various international studies confirming that challenges to ensure safe online transacting are in line with international challenges. Conclusion: There is a disparity between South African online consumers’ perceived ability regarding computer password security and the password creation and management practices that they apply.

Simulation of complex dynamic systems is an interdisciplinary problem. To solve this problem the author suggests a distributed simulation environment as a new form of simulation means system organization that provides web-based distributed simulation of engineering and industrial tasks as simulation services using Discrete Event Simulation Framework on the basis of Grid infrastructure. The Unified Process of Simulation Services Development based on Unified Modeling Language is proposed.

Kampung Cau Padjadjaran (KCP) is an agency and bananas distributor that has the empowerment and utilization activities of local bananas. KCP partnered with several villages in the cities and districts of West Java, such as Sumedang, Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya, Garut, and Purwakarta. Up to now, KCP need to fulfill the market demand reaches 10 tons per week. Currently, KCP collects the data directly by visiting each village partners that each village is far enough to be visited, these are considered inefficient because it can be a waste of time and energy on the go and also the 10 tons bananas data per week is a high amount of data to be managed. To facilitate the achievement of the KCP objectives as a unit that raises superior local wisdom, hence the design of the web-based information systems will be conducted that can be used to manage the KCP banana database. In addition, it is also expected to enhance the empowerment of local communities each village partner by managing the information systems. The designing is conducted through several stages, such as the early stage (field observations), the designing stage (needs analysis, user-interface web design, programming implementation) and the final stage (testing of information systems, research results and conclusion). The expected result is a system that empowers youth and improving the welfare of banana farmers by providing pertinent information availability of bananas each partner KCP village in West Java.
