This research paper reports the findings from an international survey of fieldwork practitioners on their use of technology to enhance fieldwork teaching and learning. It was found that there was high information technology usage before and after time in the field, but some were also using portable devices such as smartphones and global…

The development and diffusion of information and communication technologies, particularly the internet, creates a worldwide trend of using ICTs and the internet to deliver public services. This new form of electronic administration--e-government--potentially offers great benefits to society in that it can enhance public service efficiency,…

Anomaly detection is an important and indispensable aspect of any computer security mechanism. Ad hoc and mobile networks consist of a number of peer mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other absent a fixed infrastructure. Arbitrary node movements and lack of centralized control make them vulnerable to a wide variety of…

This is a special issue published in version 1.0 of "Global Journal of Computer Science and Technology." Articles in this issue include: (1) [Theta] Scheme (Orthogonal Milstein Scheme), a Better Numerical Approximation for Multi-dimensional SDEs (Klaus Schmitz Abe); (2) Input Data Processing Techniques in Intrusion Detection…

The 13th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2020) was originally arranged to take place in Ifrane, Morocco. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) epidemic, EDM 2020, as well as most other academic conferences in 2020, had to be changed to a purely online format. To facilitate efficient transmission of…

The research program is designed to accomplish two primary objectives: (1) to obtain a basic understanding of the digital encoding algorithm under certain general conditions, and (2) to determine explicitly what kinds of practical digital encoding equipment should be used for the various tasks which require it. In order to accomplish these…

Discusses the rapid increases in data processing technology and the problems they pose for data processing teachers. Suggests that graduate courses may be needed to keep course content current. (JOW)

The use of computers in Virginia's institutions of higher education is reviewed and the role played by data communications in the work of the institutions is discussed. In this paper, data communications is defined to mean the movement of information from one place to another without changing the value of the information. State plans for…

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the history, development, and services of the packet switching network services that currently exist in the United States. The character of packet switching, a computerized method of transmitting data, is used as the basis for tracing the development of the industry itself. Contending that the…

Outlines the essential details of a computer network protocol at the application level for interchanging information between host computers in the community of libraries, book publishers, and bibliographic service centers. Control header structure is detailed, and a skeleton outline is given for 20 header field types and 15 control message types.…

The identification of administrative authorities and the development of associated procedures for registering and accessing names and addresses of communications data systems are considered in this paper. It is noted that, for data communications systems using standards based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model specified by…

The different technologies applicable to computer networks serving limited geographic areas, e.g., a single campus, factory, or office complex, are discussed in a number of short presentations made by active researchers and implementers in this field. Intensive discussion by participants in working sessions is reported for six topics: subnet…

A new approach was instituted for the fourth Automatic Data Processing Conference of the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Agency personnel were interviewed prior to the Conference to establish questions and issues that the meeting ought to address. An objective opinion was sought from Organizational Development Associates, a…

The personal computer--with its ability to store, sort, and retrieve large amounts of data, generate reports, and graphically present statistical information--is becoming an integral tool in the administration of the modern media center. The need to share and retrieve information beyond the immediate environment of the media center has always been…

The community cable that brings television programs to homes can, at a small cost, be utilized by schools and local governments as a medium for data communication. Technical and legal aspects are addressed. (MLF)
