and individuals in Southern Lebanon? Quantitative and qualitative research on arms, armed groups, and security provision in Southern Lebanon is extremely limited. Local sensitivities Amal militants take cover and trade fire with government-aligned Sunni forces during the opposition‘s siege of Beirut in May 2008

Security provision for protection when employing simulators over the Internet, becomes daily more important for protection of data and operations. This paper identifies the two major activities of registration and message (data) passing. Encryption and decryption are discussed along the issues

For such self-organizing infrastructures as mobile ad hoc networks , envisioned to operate in an open, collaborative, and highly volatile environment, the importance of secu- rity cannot be underrated. The provision of comprehen- sive secure communication mandates that both route dis- covery

We construct a general equilibrium model to evaluate the quantitative e¤ects of severance payments in the presence of contracting and reallocational frictions. Key elements of the model are: 1) establishment level dynamics, 3) imperfect insurance markets, and 4) variable search decisions. Contrary to previous studies that analyzed severance payments in frictionless environments, we …nd that severance payments reduce unemployment, produce negative insurance e¤ects and improve welfare levels.

Numerous systems have been designed which use virtualization to subdivide the ample resources of a modern computer. Some require specialized hardware, or cannot support commodity operating systems. Some target 100 % binary compatibility at the expense of performance. Others sacrifice security

provisioning Denial of Service (SPDoS) attack. To avoid SPDoS attack, this paper sets out a framework to design a resource-aware self-adaptive network security provisioning scheme for the resource constraint MANET. With the support of the offline optimal secure protocol selection module and the online self

the residual damage and the cost of security provisioning. We propose the use of workflow profiles to capture the contexts in which a communication channel is used in a pervasive environment. This is used to minimize the cost that the underlying business entity will have to incur in order to keep the workflow

The framework is generic in nature and can be adopted for any electricity market structure. The proposed hierarchical reactive power market structure comprises two stages: procurement of reactive

But, until now a extensive ranking approach has not been presented to overcome the security issues. In this paper, first the security technologies and their applications have reviewed. Then the future
