Internationalising Higher Education and the Role of Virtual Exchange (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Robert O'DowdThis volume introduces Virtual Exchange (VE) as an innovative form of online intercultural learning and investigates the myriad of ways VE is being carried out across universities, ultimately arguing for its integration into university internationalisation policies and course curricula. Against the backdrop of increased digitalisation initiatives throughout universities given the effects of the pandemic, chapters focus not only on providing new research findings, but also on providing a comprehensive introduction and argumentation for the use of VE in university education and also in demonstrating how it can be put into use by both university decision-makers and educators. Reviewing the limitations of the activity, this timely work also fundamentally posits how VE and blended mobility more broadly could be developed in future higher education initiatives. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics, scholars, and students involved with Open & Distance Education and eLearning, approaches to internationalisation in education, and the study of higher education more broadly. Those interested in innovative methods for teaching and learning, as well as educational research, will also benefit from this volume.

Internet Access in Vehicular Networks
by Haibo Zhou Xuemin (Sherman) Shen Wenchao XuThis book introduces the Internet access for vehicles as well as novel communication and computing paradigms based on the Internet of vehicles. To enable efficient and reliable Internet connection for mobile vehicle users, this book first introduces analytical modelling methods for the practical vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) Internet access procedure, and employ the interworking of V2R and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) to improve the network performance for a variety of automotive applications. In addition, the wireless link performance between a vehicle and an Internet access station is investigated, and a machine learning based algorithm is proposed to improve the link throughout by selecting an efficient modulation and coding scheme.This book also investigates the distributed machine learning algorithms over the Internet access of vehicles. A novel broadcasting scheme is designed to intelligently adjust the training users that are involved in the iteration rounds for an asynchronous federated learning scheme, which is shown to greatly improve the training efficiency. This book conducts the fully asynchronous machine learning evaluations among vehicle users that can utilize the opportunistic V2R communication to train machine learning models. Researchers and advanced-level students who focus on vehicular networks, industrial entities for internet of vehicles providers, government agencies target on transportation system and road management will find this book useful as reference. Network device manufacturers and network operators will also want to purchase this book.
Internet Annoyances
by Preston GrallaWhat began as an intrepid U.S. Government initiative in the early 1970's has turned into a global way of life. Indeed, with more than 500 million current users (and counting), the Internet has revolutionized the way societies function the world over. From dating and shopping online, to conducting informational research, to communicating via email, today seemingly everyone uses the Internet for one purpose or another. How, then, can something so vast and powerful be defiled by something as trivial as spam? It's true. The fact remains that despite the leading-edge technological sophistication fueling the Net, there are still many related annoyances that complicate and tarnish the Internet experience. And it doesn't matter if you're a homemaker in search of a fresh chicken recipe, or a civil engineer researching plans for a new skyscraper, the problems are the same. Internet Annoyances understands the universal nature of the Internet and strives to make its use as stress-free as possible. This insightful guide shows you how to overcome the most annoying Internet-related quirks, bugs, and hassles. You'll learn how to make a seamless connection, thwart would-be hackers, ensure greater security while surfing, eliminate pop-up ads, maximize online services, conduct more effective Google searches, better utilize digital media (music and video), and much more. In addition, Internet Annoyances discusses how to design and host a personal web site something once thought of as only possible for the technically gifted. Topics like blogs, domain names, setup, HTML, fonts, and graphics and are all dissected and analyzed for easy consumption. Unlike other books on the subject, Internet Annoyances assumes readers already possess a working knowledge of the Internet. By fully recognizing the experience level of today's Internet culture, author Preston Galla is able to cut immediately to the chase and not waste time on the more obvious points. Internet Annoyances , therefore, is a quick read that presents succinct solutions for the many glitches that still populate the Internet experience.

Internet Core Protocols: Help for Network Administrators
by Eric HallIf you've ever been responsible for a network, you know that sinking feeling: your pager has gone off at 2 a.m., the network is broken, and you can't figure out why by using a dial-in connection from home. You drive into the office, dig out your protocol analyzer, and spend the next fourhours trying to put things back together before the staff shows up for work.When this happens, you often find yourself looking at the low-level guts of the Internet protocols: you're deciphering individual packets, trying to figure out what is (or isn't) happening. Until now, the only real guide to the protocols has been the Internet RFCs--and they're hardlywhat you want to be reading late at night when your network is down. There hasn't been a good book on the fundamentals of IP networking aimed at network administrators--until now.Internet Core Protocols: The Definitive Guide contains all the information you need for low-level network debugging. It provides thorough coverage of the fundamental protocols in the TCP/IP suite: IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP (in its many variations), and IGMP. (The companion volume, Internet Application Protocols: The Definitive Guide,provides detailed information about the commonly used application protocols, including HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3, and many others). It includes many packet captures, showing you what to look for and how to interpret all the fields. It has been brought up to date with the latest developments in real-world IP networking. The CD-ROM included with the book contains Shomiti's "Surveyor Lite," a packet analyzer that runs on Win32 systems, plus the original RFCs, should you need them for reference. Together, this package includes everything you need to troubleshoot your network--except coffee.
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers im internationalen Rechtssystem: Wie diese die Europäische Datenschutz-Grundverordnung umsetzt und welchen Einfluss die Umsetzung auf das E-Mail-Marketing hat (BestMasters)
by Tobias SattlerFür den stabilen und sicheren Betrieb des Internets ist die US-amerikanische gemeinnützige Organisation Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) verantwortlich, wozu die Koordination der Vergabe von Domain-Namen gehört. Die Europäische Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (EU-DSGVO) dient der Vereinheitlichung des Datenschutzrechts und schützt die Verarbeitung von personenbezogenen Daten. Dies hat einen Einfluss auf die öffentlich zugänglichen Informationen von registrierten Domain-Namen, deren Veröffentlichung die ICANN in ihren Richtlinien vorschreibt. Diese Informationen umfassen personenbezogene Daten wie den Namen, die Postanschrift und die E-Mail-Adresse der Domain-innehabenden Person. Die ICANN änderte ihre Richtlinien, jedoch ist weiterhin die Veröffentlichung dieser Angaben möglich. In dem vorliegenden Buch werden die Auswirkungen der EU-DSGVO auf das E-Mail-Marketing und die Verwendung von E-Mail-Adressen für E-Mail-Kampagnen untersucht, insbesondere in Bezug auf unerwünschte E-Mail-Werbung. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: Welchen Effekt hat die Veröffentlichung der E-Mail-Adresse der Domain-innehabenden Person in den WHOIS-Datenbanken auf die Anzahl eingehender unerwünschter Marketing-E-Mails?

Internet Daemons: Digital Communications Possessed (Electronic Mediations)
by Fenwick McKelveyA complete history and theory of internet daemons brings these little-known—but very consequential—programs into the spotlight We&’re used to talking about how tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon rule the internet, but what about daemons? Ubiquitous programs that have colonized the Net&’s infrastructure—as well as the devices we use to access it—daemons are little known. Fenwick McKelvey weaves together history, theory, and policy to give a full account of where daemons come from and how they influence our lives—including their role in hot-button issues like network neutrality.Going back to Victorian times and the popular thought experiment Maxwell&’s Demon, McKelvey charts how daemons evolved from concept to reality, eventually blossoming into the pandaemonium of code-based creatures that today orchestrates our internet. Digging into real-life examples like sluggish connection speeds, Comcast&’s efforts to control peer-to-peer networking, and Pirate Bay&’s attempts to elude daemonic control (and skirt copyright), McKelvey shows how daemons have been central to the internet, greatly influencing everyday users.Internet Daemons asks important questions about how much control is being handed over to these automated, autonomous programs, and the consequences for transparency and oversight.
Internet Denial of Service: Attack and Defense Mechanisms
by Jelena Mirkovic Sven Dietrich David Dittrich Peter ReiherSuddenly your Web server becomes unavailable. When you investigate, you realize that a flood of packets is surging into your network.

Internet Economics
by Lee W. Mcknight Joseph P. BaileyThe Internet has rapidly become an important element of the economic system. The lack of accepted metrics for economic analysis of Internet transactions is therefore increasingly problematic. This book, one of the first to bring together research on Internet engineering and economics, attempts to establish such metrics. The chapters, which developed out of a 1995 workshop held at MIT, include architectural models and analyses of Internet usage, as well as alternative pricing policies. The book is organized into six sections: 1) Introduction to Internet Economics, 2) The Economics of the Internet, 3) Interconnection and Multicast Economics, 4) Usage Sensitive Pricing, 5) Internet Commerce, and 6) Internet Economics and Policy. Contributors: Loretta Anania, Joseph P. Bailey, Nevil Brownlee, David Carver, David Clark, David W.

Internet Election Campaigns in the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
by Diana Owen Shoko Kiyohara Kazuhiro MaeshimaThis book investigates how institutional differences, such as the roles of political parties and the regulation of electoral systems, affect the development of Internet election campaigns in the U. S. , Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. It examines whether or not the "Americanization of elections" is evident in East Asian democracies. While Japan is a parliamentary system, the U. S. and Korea are presidential systems and Taiwan is a semi-presidential system that has a president along with a parliamentary system. Furthermore, the role of the presidency in the U. S. , Korea, and Taiwan is quite different. Taking these variations in political systems into consideration, the authors discuss how the electoral systems are regulated in relation to issues such as paid advertisements and campaign periods. They argue that stronger regulation of election systems and shorter election periods in Japan characterize Japanese uniqueness compared with the U. S. , Korea, and Taiwan in terms of Internet election campaigns.
