This paper describes the development and implementation of a blockchain to improve security, knowledge and intel ligence during the communication and col laboration processes between agents under restricted Internet Infrastructure domains. It is a work that proposes the application of a blockchain, independent of platform, in a particular model of agents, but that can be used in similar proposals, since the results in the specific model were satisfactory. Additional ly, the model al lows interaction and, also, col laboration between humans and agents.

Este documento descreve o desenvolvimento e implementação de uma blockchain para melhorar a seguranca, o conhecimento e a inteligência durante os processos de comunicação e colaboração entre agentes em domínios restritos da Infraestrutura da Internet. E um trabalho que propoe a aplicação de uma "blockchain", independente de plataforma, em um modelo particular de agentes, mas que pode ser utilizado em propostas similares, uma vez que os resultados no modelo específico foram satisfatórios.

Internet latency is crucial in providing reliable and efficient networked services when servers are placed in geographically diverse locations. The trend of mobile, cloud, and distributed computing accelerates the importance of accurate latency measurement due to its nature of rapidly changing locations and interactivity. Accurately measuring latency, however, is not easy due to lack of testing resources, the sheer volume of collected data points, the tedious and repetitive aspect of measurement practice, clock synchronization, and network dynamics. This chapter discusses the techniques that use PlanetLab to measure latency in the Internet, its underlying infrastructure, representative latency results obtained from experiments, and how to use these measure latencies. The chapter covers 1) details of using PlanetLab, 2) the Internet infrastructure that causes the discrepancy between local and global latencies, and 3) measured latency results from our own experiments and analysis on the distributions, averages, and their implications.

In this chapter, I examine trends in today's news-orientated interfaces and the impact of digital interfaces on news consumption. Digital interfaces will be differentiated from traditional informational sources such as newspapers and television news. Additionally, I will explore several major characteristics or trends germane to today's news interfaces and their implications for how people consume news and, more generally, for how they transform information services: a) rapid innovation, b) interactivity, c) social, d) standardization, e) scale, f) media convergence and, g) the Internet of Things and Big Data.

This chapter discusses the role of integrating medical education with medical practice through online collaborative learning among the various stakeholders involved with healthcare education and practice. It elaborates the discussion with examples of information needs and information-seeking behaviors of patients and physicians. The role of the Internet (infrastructure), and especially the WWW (applications and content), is elucidated with respect to the concepts of online collaborative learning as applied to medical education and practice where the emphasis is on user driven healthcare. “

An attempt to do a comparison between the various DDoS attack types that exist by analysing them in various categories that can be formed, to provide a more comprehensive view of the problem that DDoS poses to the internet infrastructure today. Then DDoS and its relevance with respect to IoT (Internet of Things) devices are analysed where attack types have been explained and possible solutions available are analysed. This chapter does not propose any new solutions to mitigating the effects of DDoS attacks but just provides a general survey of the prevailing attack types along with analysis of the underlying structures that make these attacks possible, which would help researchers in understanding the DDoS problem better.

A digital transformation is underway. One that is redefining the essence of human interaction and with ideas, share unused resources and create new on-demand services that are customisable and unique. These are only a few examples of real productivity that when layered on the Internet creates an abundance of resources and opportunity. This people-powered abundance is called the crowd economy. It is the way the society lives, works and plays. There is a new paradigm shift that challenges traditional notions of the “norm” while expanding possibilities. The hallmark of the digital age is social connections that are boosted by the web and mobile networks. These technological advances have taken collaboration and cooperation to a level never seen before. Social connections through the web have gone beyond social media likes and shares and has evolved into social productivity - a phenomenon that arises when networked crowds collaborate to solve problems, raise funds, and come up with innovative ideas and solutions.

Introduction. With the advent and extensive use of the Internet and smartphones, social networking has become a pervasive part of human interaction. The use of these social networking sites or the Internet affects the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the people. Hence, there is need to understand how the time spent on social networking is affecting the quality of life (QOL) as a whole, especially among college-going students who are most likely users of social networking sites (18–21 years). Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 220 college-going students (18–21 years) in Chandigarh in 2012. The data were collected using a pretested self-administered questionnaire, adapted from Young’s Internet usage questionnaire. Appropriate statistical analysis was done. Results. Almost all (98%) of the respondents use the Internet. As compared to nondaily users of social networking sites, daily users were better able to handle stress related to (1) relationships (moderate to severe stress among daily users vs. nondaily users, 15.2% vs. 30.5%) and (2) work (moderate to severe stress among daily users vs. nondaily users, 18.2% vs. 35.4%). The daily users of social networking sites feel significantly more satisfied with their classmates, the way they handle the problems, their physical appearance, and their accomplishments in their life. Conclusion. Social networking sites are steadily penetrating in the lives of adolescents in India. The advantages on quality of life for daily users of social networking sites versus nondaily users are enormous. Also currently, Internet use might not have reached the levels where it embarks on the existing state of health; therefore, continuous and critical observation of the changing trends is warranted.
