Editor in Chief Fred Douglis discusses the pros and cons of removing a social network presence.

As the worldwide demand for faster Internet connections continues, regulatory agencies are pushing for more radio spectrum. Wireless broadband networks are expected to deliver great advances in ubiquitous connection and speed very quickly in both the US ...

Trust and reputation management research is highly interdisciplinary, involving researchers from networking and communication, data management and information systems, e-commerce and service computing, artificial intelligence, and game theory, as well ...

Trust and security have prevented businesses from fully accepting cloud platforms. To protect clouds, providers must first secure virtualized data-center resources, uphold user privacy, and preserve data integrity. The authors suggest using a trust-...

Reputation systems rely on historical information to account for uncertainty about users' intention to cooperate, but accumulating experience over long time periods is challenging in many situations. In peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, this operation is ...

Electronic auction reputation systems have improved in recent years. However, most don't rely on user feedback but are still bound to old-fashioned comment counting while substantial information embedded in those comments is omitted. The authors' system ...

Building trust models based on a well-defined semantics of trust is important so that we can avoid misinterpretation, misuse, or inconsistent use of trust in Internet-based distributed computing. The authors present an approach to a formal-semantics-...

Although Web service technologies promote reuse, Web Services Description Language (WSDL) documents that are supposed to describe the API that services offer often fail to do so properly. Therefore, finding services, understanding what they do, and ...

Due to a lack of precise and exact terms of reference, the Internet features very little content related to agriculture. Agropedia, one of the world's first agricultural knowledge repositories built from semantic, collaborative, and social networking ...

As online games become significant contributors to Internet traffic, practitioners must look to measure and understand game traffic in order to provision for it. Despite gaming's significant implications for the Internet, no general framework exists for ...

Cloud computing is a new field in Internet computing that provides novel perspectives in internetworking technologies and raises issues in the architecture, design, and implementation of existing networks and data centers. The relevant research has just ...

Free riding, whereby a peer utilizes network resources but doesn't contribute services, could have a huge impact on the efficacy of streaming systems, leading to scalability issues and service degradation. BitTorrent-like tit-for-tat mechanisms can't ...

S/MIME is the standard, widely available protocol for sending and receiving protected MIME data. It provides authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation of origin (using digital signatures), and data confidentiality (using encryption). Here, ...

When building Web applications in a functional programming language, it pays to choose a templating system that works well with the functional model. This article explores the consequences of an unwise choice and describes two Clojure-based templating ...

The Internet is ready for a makeover, a need that becomes more urgent with each passing day. Although the Internet is a global infrastructure and a platform for business, discussions about the future Internet remain largely regional. The approaches in ...
