The study divides the Internet Economy into four layers. The first layer consists of the telecommunications companies, Internet Service Providers, Internet backbone carriers, local access companies and manufacturers of end-user networking equipment. In the second layer, Internet Applications Infrastructure involves software products and services necessary to facilitate Web transactions and transaction intermediaries. In addition to the software products that help facilitate Web transactions, this layer of the Internet Economy includes the consultants and service companies that design, build and maintain all types of Web sites, from portals to full e-commerce sites. The third layer, called the Internet Intermediary Indicator, consists of businesses that do not generate transaction-related revenues in the same way as the companies in other layers. There is a distinct type of company that operates in layer three, one that is predominantly an Internet pure-play. While not directly generating revenues from transactions, their Web-based business generates revenues through advertising, membership subscription fees and commissions. Many of the layer three companies are purely Web content providers, while others are market makers or market intermediaries. Finally, the companies that are included in layer four are only those companies that are conducting Web-based commerce transactions (Barua and Whinston, 2000).

Nowadays, with the wide applications of distributed systems, web-based applications, and communications systems over the Internet for carrying data between users such as terminal client and computer/server or communications between different devices using a computer network, network security has become crucial requirement to ensure authentic received data during transmission. Authentication and encryption are basic procedures to ensure secure communications over a public network due to tamper-resistance and convenience in dealing with a password file. Most of the used protocols; HTTP, FTP, and SMTP of the Internet applications use text stream that is more and more vulnerable to attacks. Encryption represents the main security for the most computer applications.This work proposes enhanced secure actions for transferring data using FTP protocol by using a smart token. A smart token has the capabilities of the smart card, but more secured beside some interesting operations. A practical and secure user scheme, based on a smart token device, is proposed. A Secure Platform has been developed using implemented APIs and PKCS#11 as RSA standard interface. The proposed API is called SAFEST (Secure Actions for FTP Environment with Smart Token). SAFEST API wraps a standard protocol for implementing the communication between a token and the application using it. This API is a platform independent, scalable to support more functionality, optimizing token usage and adding more security for accessing token objects. The smart token can process the cryptographic key operations on its own rather than on the host computer, which supports high-level platform independence. In addition, through the proposed SAFEST API, standard interfacing to such token devices from any vendor can be implemented through using PKCS#11 interfaces, developed by RSA labs.

Health-related web content is constantly increasing, and cancer survivors use it to manage their health and activities of daily living. However, the actual usage of and satisfaction with web contents among cancer survivors is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey to understand the satisfaction with web content in those cancer survivors who use the Internet to cope with their anxiety/stress, sleeplessness, or cognitive difficulties. The survey questionnaire was e-mailed to 1.2 million voluntary registrants at a research company. Cancer survivors who accessed any content via the Internet and experienced anxiety/stress, sleeplessness, or cognitive difficulties were included in the study. Out of the 412 survivors who completed the survey, 357 experienced some degree of anxiety or stress, 258 experienced sleeplessness, and 161 experienced some cognitive difficulties, such as forgetfulness or lack of attention. They used web contents to record their health or (n = 205), relieve their anxiety or stress (n = 238), and devise activities of daily living (n = 232) during cancer therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The web contents included “interactive contents” (users engage with the web content by responding to it in some form), “non-interactive contents” (information medium without any user engagement), “web-storage,” or “scrolling.” Multivariate logistic regression revealed greater satisfaction with “interactive contents” in cancer survivors. This reflects that the sharing of personal experiences as well as objective information should be considered to create satisfying and effective web contents.

AbstractThe library is a source of knowledge and supporting facilities in each educational institution, especially in this discussion the library is at a college or university. With the library, it will facilitate students in finding various information about teaching and learning, and will also improve the teaching and learning process. The Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APPJI) in its survey of several years stated that the use of mobile devices has a very large increase. Recorded from 2013 to 2017 has a very large increase of 61.26 million internet users in Indonesia. The behavior of internet users based on the device used to access the internet is 44.16% in the use of mobile devices, mobile devices and computers ortop 4.49%, the use of mobile devices and computers by 39.28%. This means that the behavior of internet users in Indonesia is very dominant in accessing the internet through mobile devices. Moreover statistics show that mobile internet users are also increasing from year to year. Previously there was a library system at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang web-based. But in this case the tendency of the behavior of internet users in the use of mobile devices, the Muhammadiyah University Library of Malang has a huge opportunity in developing an improving services in meeting the needs of students in finding information needs.AbstrakPerpustakaan adalah sumber ilmu pengetahuan dan sarana penunjang pada setiap instansi pendidikan terutama dalam pembahasannya ini perpustakaan yang ada pada perguruan tinggi atau universitas. Dengan adanya perpustakaan maka akan memudahkan mahasiswa dalam mencari berbagai informasi mengenai belajar mengajar, dan juga akan meningkatkan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Asosiasi Penyelenggara Jasa Internet Indonesia (APPJI) pada surveynya dari beberapa tahun ini menyatakan penggunaa pada perangkat mobile memiliki peningkatan yang sangat besar. Tercatat dari tahun 2013 sampai 2017 memiliki peningkatan yang sangat besar yaitu 61,26 juta jiwa pengguna internet di Indonesia. Perilaku pengguna internet berdasarkan perangkat yang digunakan untuk mengakses internet yaitu 44.16% dalam penggunaan perangkat mobile, perangkat mobile dan komputer ataulaptop 4.49 %, pengunaan perangkat mobile dan komputer sebesar 39.28%.  Hal ini berarti perilaku pengguna internet di Inonesia sangat dominan mengakses internet melalui perangkat mobile.

Background.Despite high levels of mental illness, Vietnamese youth have limited access to mental health care. Internet interventions, evidence-based psychotherapy treatments delivered through the internet, have the potential to increase access to mental health for youth in Vietnam. This study explored the perceptions of youths and parents toward internet interventions for youth mental health.Methods.Four focus groups were conducted with youths (n = 20) and parents (n = 20) in Danang, Vietnam. The Technology Acceptance Model was used a framework for focus group questions. The data were analyzed using direct content analysis.Results.Most youths and parents agreed that the internet serves well as a care delivery model. Participants expressed that the web would be useful for psychoeducation and sharing and receiving information with others. Both groups reported lack of awareness of web-based interventions and logistical concerns regarding access as main barriers. In addition, many parents were concerned about internet addiction. Specific adaptations in Vietnam such as standalone internet service centers and partnering with local organizations may benefit uptake of internet interventions.Conclusion.This study suggests that internet-based programs for youth mental health, particularly interventions incorporating psychoeducation and social networking components, will be well received in Vietnam. Barriers need to be addressed to successfully implement internet-based treatment. Future initiatives should incorporate acceptance models to improve development of internet interventions for youth.

Although distributed services provide a means for supporting scalable Internet applications, their ad-hoc provisioning and configuration pose a difficult tradeoff between service performance and availability. This is made harder as Internet service workloads tend to be heterogeneous, and vary over time in amount of concurrent clients and in mixture of client interactions. This chapter presents an approach for building self-adaptive Internet services through utility-aware capacity planning and provisioning. First, an analytic model is presented to predict Internet service performance, availability and cost. Second, a utility function is defined and a utility-aware capacity planning method is proposed to calculate the optimal service configuration which guarantees SLA performance and availability objectives while minimizing functioning costs. Third, an adaptive control method is proposed to automatically apply the optimal configuration to the Internet service. Finally, the proposed model, capacity planning and control methods are implemented and applied to an online bookstore. The experiments show that the service successfully self-adapts to both workload mix and workload amount variations, and present significant benefits in terms of performance and availability, with a saving of resources underlying the Internet service.

The internet service is provided by a given number of servers located in the main node of internet service provider (ISP). In some cases; the overload problem was occurred because a demand on a given website goes to very high level. In this paper, a fuzzy logic control (FLC) has proposed to distribute the load into the internet servers by a smart and flexible manner. Three effected parameters are tacked into account as input for FLC: link capacity which has three linguistic variables with Gaussian membership function (MF): (small, medium and big), traffic density with linguistic variables (low, normal and high) and channel latency with linguistic variables (empty, half and full); with one output which is the share server status (single, simple and share). The proposed work has been simulated by using MATLAB 2016a, by building a structure in the Fuzzy toolbox. The results were fixed by two manners: the graphical curves and the numerical tables, the surface response was smoothly changed and translates the well-fixed control system. The numerical results of the control system satisfy the idea of the smart rout for the incoming traffics from the users to internet servers. So, the response of the proposed system for the share of server ratio is 0.122, when the input parameter in the smallest levels; and the ratio is 0.879 when the input parameters are in highest level. The smart work and flexible use for the FLC is the main success solution for most of today systems control.
