In recent years, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system has undergone tremendous changes in the kinds of products and services it offers and the methods by which users can access them. AskERIC, a computer network-based question-answering service and virtual library, exemplifies these changes. This article describes AskERIC, other ERIC gopher sites, the National Parent Information Network, ERIC listserv activity on the Internet, and ERIC 's offerings on commercial online services. It also lists resources for librarians who do training sessions on ERIC and sketches ERIC's future direction.

This article is intended to see the future existence of the institution of information center and library as an institution that will continue to exist even if the information could be found by the community easily through the development of information and communication technology. In the present, people can access information through any approach in the world's information network known as the internet. Moreover, if in the future the ability of people to choose the type of information needed better. Therefore it becomes a matter as how the prospect of information center and library in the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). By exploring the Information Science and Library as a fundamental branch of science, both seen from ontology, epistemology, and axiology is expected to know the basics of the prospects of information centers and libraries. The things that the information center and library should do will be seen through this assessment so that it will provide very useful inputs.

The article analyzes the main approaches to the prospects for the development of network communication practices via the Internet. The influence of the development of digital technologies of social communication on the processes of socio-economic development, expansion of political participation, distribution of power and political mobilization is explored. At the same time, special attention is paid to the challenges and risks posed by Internet technologies for personal rights and freedoms. In particular, the emphasis is on the perception by Internet users of threats they face in the global computer network, on their behavioral responses to cybercrime, including safer patterns of behavior in cyberspace. Over time the level of competence of Internet users, their awareness in the field of cybersecurity is constantly increasing. There is also a growth, sometimes noticeable, in the share of the Internet audience utilizing various types of online services. The research illuminates that despite the growing scale of danger and concern of users themselves, the actual level of cyber-victimization among residents of EU countries remains quite stable. Such a positive trend is explained by both the effectiveness of measures to prevent and combat cybercrime implemented by government and corporate institutions and proactive and conscious position of the users themselves. The latter, being aware of the depth and scale of the risks, make various efforts to ensure network security (they periodically change passwords to access various online services, seek help from relevant organizations – both public and private).

Connecting to the  electronic information network (internet) became the most characteristic that distinguish this era However , the long hours which young men daily spend on the internet On the other hand ,there are many people who are waiting for the chance to talk and convince them with their views This will lead the young people to be part in the project of the “cyber armies “that involved with states and terrorist organizations  This project has been able  to recruitment hundreds of people every day to work in its rank . It is very difficult to control these websites because we can see the terrorist presence in all its forms in the internet   In addition there are many incubation environments that feed in particular the young people minds                                                                                         Because they are suffering from the lack of social justice Also the unemployment, deprivation , social and political repression So , that terrorist organizations can attract young people through the internet by convincing them to their views and ideas . So these organizations will enable to be more  stronger.

Beside the fact that the Internet was not primarily educational network (it didn’t emerge from the intention to be systematically used in the field of education), shortly after it emerged, possibilities of its application in education were recognised. This paper is dedicated to analysis of the most important chronological moments (technological and social in the first place) that were crucial in sense of comprehensive application of the Internet in service of education in general, but also in service of adult education. Having all mentioned in focus, in more details, we analysed emergence and development of the Internet observed as educational computer network in frame of general development of information and communication technologies. While realising mentioned analysis, our focus was on four historical periods of educational computer technologies. We also intended to emphasize the activities of international institutions that followed, encouraged and supported the development of the Internet use and the use of other information and communication technologies in the field of education. According to that, we distinguished the main moments referring activities of these organisations which describe in the best manner their contributions to growing application of the Internet in education in general, but also in adult education.

By reason of being able to obtain natural language responses, natural answers are more favored in real-world Question Answering (QA) systems. Generative models learn to automatically generate natural answers from large-scale question answer pairs (QA-pairs). However, they are suffering from the uncontrollable and uneven quality of QA-pairs crawled from the Internet. To address this problem, we propose a curriculum learning based framework for natural answer generation (CL-NAG), which is able to take full advantage of the valuable learning data from a noisy and uneven-quality corpus. Specifically, we employ two practical measures to automatically measure the quality (complexity) of QA-pairs. Based on the measurements, CL-NAG firstly utilizes simple and low-quality QA-pairs to learn a basic model, and then gradually learns to produce better answers with richer contents and more complete syntaxes based on more complex and higher-quality QA-pairs. In this way, all valuable information in the noisy and uneven-quality corpus could be fully exploited. Experiments demonstrate that CL-NAG outperforms the state-of-the-arts, which increases 6.8% and 8.7% in the accuracy for simple and complex questions, respectively.

A source detection problem in complex networks has been studied widely. Source localization has much importance in order to model many real-world phenomena, for instance, spreading of a virus in a computer network, epidemics in human beings, and rumor spreading on the internet. A source localization problem is to identify a node in the network that gives the best description of the observed diffusion. For this purpose, we select a subset of nodes with least size such that the source can be uniquely located. This is equivalent to find the minimal doubly resolving set of a network. In this article, we have computed the double metric dimension of convex polytopes R n and Q n by describing their minimal doubly resolving sets.

In 1969, the U.S. created the ARPAnet computer network, linking the computer centers of the Department of Defense and several academic organizations. This network was designed for a narrow purpose: mainly to study how to communicate in the event of a nuclear attack and to help researchers exchange information. As this network grew, many other networks were created and developed.
