Penn State researchers have proposed a new marking process for Internet messages to make it easier to trace the originators of spam, illegal copyrighted material or a virus attack.

The new marking scheme produced less than one percent false positives per 1000 attacking addresses in simulated distributed denial of service attacks and even fewer false positives and zero missed detections tracing addresses transferring copyrighted material in another simulation.

Marking messages via

Researchers in Germany claim to have opened the door to a new form of wireless communication by transmitting information at “terahertz” frequencies for the first time. The work could eventually lead to mobile phones that can transmit greater amounts of information at faster speeds than conventional devices, which use lower frequency microwaves. The team, led by Martin Koch from the Technical University of Braunschweig, encoded the electrical output from an audio CD player onto a terahertz beam and se

R&D continuously generates innovative technologies and solutions. But all too often insufficient business knowledge prevents their commercial exploitation. But TRAIN-IT’s hands-on business planning training and coaching resulted in 36 start-ups and a wealth of success stories.

The major obstacle facing would-be start-ups is the business plan, which in today’s post-Internet bubble world has to be not just good, but great in order to convince banks and venture capital firms to suppl

Often maligned as just another one of the Internet boom’s myriad hypes, e-learning’s chasm between theory and performance is being bridged by a new platform from SCHOOL+ that supports rather than imposes technology on Europe’s classrooms.

The three-year IST project SCHOOL+ project is developing a comprehensive online teaching and learning environment known as SCHOOL+ Microcosmos, which has been tested in 20 European schools at the beginning of this year. Simultaneously, this

Football stadiums and museums may not have much in common, but for two IST projects, EVENTS and VISIRE, they are the perfect testing grounds for computer vision technologies that have the potential to change key areas of visual media forever.

Coordinated by Eptron in Spain, the groundbreaking initiatives have resulted in two state-of-the-art computer vision applications that far surpass anything currently available on the market. “EVENTS is an image interpolation system that creates multi-v

Construction companies in the UK can now make use of new internet-based services that will enhance collaboration and teamwork within the whole European construction industry.

Thanks to a grant of almost €1.5 million from the Information Society Technology (IST) Programme of the European Union’s Framework Programme, the project named OSMOS (Open System for Inter-enterprise Information Management in Dynamic Virtual Environments) succeeded in providing all the necessary conditions for optimis
