Cyberworlds in the era of ’cloud’ computing are being created on the Web where data and its dependencies are constantly changing and evolving. The problem of combinatorial explosion in system development inevitably arises when dealing with cyberworlds. To solve the problem, we have developed a data processing system called the Cellular Data System (CDS), based on the Incrementally Modular Abstraction Hierarchy (IMAH) in the cellular model, which offers powerful mathematical reason. In this paper, we design and implement a continuous quantity factor to deal with objects that express continuous quantity and integrate it into the condition formula search, which is the effective data search function of CDS, used to analyze data in cyberworlds without limitation by defining schema. If you take advantage of continuous quantity factors with the condition formula search in business application development, application logic development is made much simpler. In addition, we verify the effectiveness of a continuous quantity factor by taking up examples of core logic development of business applications.

Digital evidence is proving increasingly pivotal in criminal investigations whether it is an arrest for a minor offence or a more serious activity. As people rely on mobile phones and their many functions, the digital trail of evidence continues to grow. The forensic examination of mobile phones is a relatively new discipline and research activity into the forensic analysis of these types of phones, and the information they may contain, is limited when compared to the exponential increase in ownership of these types of phones. The amount of ubiquitous information stored on mobile phones will continue to grow as their processing power and storage capacity increases and the phones incorporate more functionality and applications. Guidelines, publications and research into the more traditional digital forensic examination of computer hard disks are well documented, whereas for mobile phones, the publications and research are not that established. The aim of this paper is to examine the current methods involved in the forensic examination of mobile phones and to identify those areas of mobile phone examination where the current United Kingdom ACPO guidelines and the United States of America NIST guidelines are unclear or insubstantial.

3GPP standards release 8 and 9 have introduced Long Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Access Technology (RAT) to provide broadband services to end users. LTE is an all-IP packet switched technology. The evolution path towards LTE can be done in two ways. First, for GSM only operators, internetworking between GSM networks and LTE is envisioned to go through IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Second, for 3G/3.5G operators the internetworking can be utilized through Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW). LTE deployment and internetworking with the existing GSM/EDGE Radio Access Technology (GERAN) and / or UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Networks (UTRAN) will bring out several technical issues. First, internetworking between GERAN and LTE will highlight the control of voice calls over IP networks. However, most operators agreed to support VoLTE. Second, LTE will be deployed in the same frequency band as of GERAN/UTRAN which will cause signalling problems. In this paper, first, based on service requests, we propose an algorithm to optimize the available network resources in multi radio deployment. Second, single radio IMS enhanced user equipment is modelled, and finally, a voice call continuity study will be conducted through a Discrete Event Simulator (DES) based on multi service environment.

In recent years, an ever-increasing growth in international air traffic has made airports the most complex and busiest built environments known. Provisioning quality of service (QoS) to passengers and staff, in such a dynamic environment, is extremely challenging. However, having previously designed and determined the passenger flow [1,2] according to flight departures, in this paper we propose an ad hoc network scenario to disseminate important information to staff and travellers for business, security and social reasons. This setup not only helps us to provide useful information to the users in a cost-effective way, it also enables us to study some unknown parameters such as the impact of buffer size and battery consumption in this dynamic environment.

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access) has been one of the most important technologies in telecommunication networks during last few years. Mobility is the most challenging research in WiMAX networks that are highlighted in broadband wireless communications. There is more demand for new data services which need high data rate. But the long interruption of handovers is not acceptable for this kind of services. The real time services like: IPTV and VoIP are sensitive to packet loss. This paper is focused on procedures and the interruption time of full handover in mobile WiMAX. All events that affect on handover during movement of a mobile station will be considered. We have presented a new algorithm to improve the handover interruption time and to decrease the amount of signaling transaction during the handover procedure. In this algorithm we have used GPS (Global Position system) to perform handover faster. Our focus in this algorithm is on the distance between MS (Mobile Station) and BS (Base Station). The MS finds its position using GPS and calculates distance to the SBS (Source Base Station) and neighbor BSs. In the next step, MS selects the target BS according to the distance.

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is considered the current Service Delivery Platform standard for providing multimedia services in Next Generation Networks (NGN). Although fleet management services are traditionally focused on voice communications, they are evolving towards broadband multimedia ones. For this reason, this paper presents an open IMS-based platform that provides advanced multimedia professional services in the aforementioned scenario. After a detailed analysis of the fleet communication requirements, the IMS-based architecture of the platform is presented. Then, the deployed services are described, from the basic ones to those more advanced, e.g. Push-To-Talk (PTT) and videoconferencing. It stands out the feature of the platform, which provides an environment that facilitates the development, deployment and integration of new services. We finally discuss the importance of the contributions made by the platform for the fleet management scenarios.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has a capability to avoid problems with managing supply chain, such as data inconsistencies, multiple channels of update and when Different lines of business have different technologies. SOA allows corporations to integrate the supply chain applications of an enterprise, and hence building a competitively differentiated, agile and interoperable supply chain. As a result SOA adoption leads to achieve better supply chain performance. This paper aims to review the integration of supply chains using SOA approach in particular, to support agile reconfigurable supply chains.
