Studie zur Web-Server-Sicherheit von Unternehmen aus Hannover und Umgebung

Der vorliegende Artikel beschreibt die Ergebnisse einer Studie zur Sicherheit von Web-Servern niedersächsischer Unternehmen aus dem Raum Hannover. Untersucht wurden vier Unternehmensgruppen, die sich aus Mitgliedern von Unternehmensverbänden und berufsständischen Körperschaften zusammensetzen. Insgesamt werden mehr als 1800 Unternehmen betrachtet. Als Indikator für die IT-Sicherheit wurden vier Sicherheitslücken herangezogen, die leicht überprüft werden können, ohne die Web-Server in ihrem Betrieb zu beeinträchtigen. Die Ergebnisse sind ernüchternd: Viele Unternehmen setzen keine Verschlüsselung ein oder die Web-Server-Software ist nicht auf dem neusten Stand. Bei ungefähr jedem dritten Unternehmen, welches Verschlüsselung einsetzt, enthält die Software seit mehr als einem Jahr bekannte Schwachstellen und sollte umgehend aktualisiert werden. Dies zeigt, dass das IT-Sicherheitsmanagement in vielen Unternehmen mangelhaft ist.

A science-oriented search engine could solve web problems

Lawrence and Giles [1] eloquently define the current problems with the World-Wide Web, but could "Nature" provide the solution ?

Relativistic Twin: Generazione Automatica di Digital Twin in un ambiente Web of Things

Con l’avvento dell’Industry 4.0, l’utilizzo dei dispositivi Internet of Things (IoT) è in continuo aumento. Le aziende stanno spingendo sempre più verso l’innovazione, andando ad introdurre nuovi metodi in grado di rinnovare sistemi IoT esistenti e crearne di nuovi, con prestazioni all’avanguardia. Un esempio di tecniche innovative emergenti è l’utilizzo dei Digital Twins (DT). Essi sono delle entità logiche in grado di simulare il reale comportamento di un dispositivo IoT fisico; possono essere utilizzati in vari scenari: monitoraggio di dati, rilevazione di anomalie, analisi What-If oppure per l’analisi predittiva. L’integrazione di tali tecnologie con nuovi paradigmi innovativi è in rapido sviluppo, uno tra questi è rappresentato dal Web of Things (WoT). Il Web of Thing è un termine utilizzato per descrivere un paradigma che permette ad oggetti del mondo reale di essere gestiti attraverso interfacce sul World Wide Web, rendendo accessibile la comunicazione tra più dispositivi con caratteristiche hardware e software differenti. Nonostante sia una tecnologia ancora in fase di sviluppo, il Web of Thing sta già iniziando ad essere utilizzato in molte aziende odierne. L’elaborato avrà come obiettivo quello di poter definire un framework capace di integrare un meccanismo di generazione automatica di Digital Twin su un contesto Web of Thing. Combinando tali tecnologie, si potrebbero sfruttare i vantaggi dell’interoperabilità del Web of Thing per poter generare un Digital Twin, indipendentemente dalle caratteristiche hardware e software degli oggetti da replicare.

The Sperm Of Hexagenia (pseudeatonica) Albivitta Walker (ephemeroptera: Fossoriae: Ephemeridae)

This study describes the sperm morphology of the mayfly Hexagenia (Pseudeatonica) albivitta (Ephemeroptera). Its spermatozoon measures approximately 30 μm of which 9 μm corresponds to the head. The head is composed of an approximately round acrosomal vesicle and a cylindrical nucleus. The nucleus has two concavities, one in the anterior tip, where the acrosomal vesicle is inserted and a deeper one at its base, where the flagellum components are inserted. The flagellum is composed of an axoneme, a mitochondrion and a dense rod adjacent to the mitochondrion. A centriolar adjunct is also observed surrounding the axoneme in the initial portion of the flagellum and extends along the flagellum for at least 2 μm, surrounding the axoneme in a half-moon shape. The axoneme is the longest component of the flagellum, and it follows the 9+9+0 pattern, with no central pair of microtubules. At the posterior region of the flagellum, the mitochondrion has a dumb-bell shape in cross sections that, together with the rectangular mitochondrial-associated rod, is responsible for the flattened shape of the flagellum. An internal membrane is observed surrounding both mitochondrion and its associated structure.

Chain motifs: The tails and handles of complex networks

A great part of the interest in complex networks has been motivated by the presence of structured, frequently nonuniform, connectivity. Because diverse connectivity patterns tend to result in distinct network dynamics, and also because they provide the means to identify and classify several types of complex network, it becomes important to obtain meaningful measurements of the local network topology. In addition to traditional features such as the node degree, clustering coefficient, and shortest path, motifs have been introduced in the literature in order to provide complementary descriptions of the network connectivity. The current work proposes a different type of motif, namely, chains of nodes, that is, sequences of connected nodes with degree 2. These chains have been subdivided into cords, tails, rings, and handles, depending on the type of their extremities (e.g., open or connected). A theoretical analysis of the density of such motifs in random and scale-free networks is described, and an algorithm for identifying these motifs in general networks is presented. The potential of considering chains for network characterization has been illustrated with respect to five categories of real-world networks including 16 cases. Several interesting findings were obtained, including the fact that several chains were observed in real-world networks, especially the world wide web, books, and the power grid. The possibility of chains resulting from incompletely sampled networks is also investigated.

Impact of Commercial Search Engines and International Databases on Engineering Teaching and Research

For the last three decades, the engineering higher education and professional environments have been completely transformed by the "electronic/digital information revolution" that has included the introduction of personal computer, the development of email and world wide web, and broadband Internet connections at home. Herein the writer compares the performances of several digital tools with traditional library resources. While new specialised search engines and open access digital repositories may fill a gap between conventional search engines and traditional references, these should be not be confused with real libraries and international scientific databases that encompass textbooks and peer-reviewed scholarly works. An absence of listing in some Internet search listings, databases and repositories is not an indication of standing. Researchers, engineers and academics should remember these key differences in assessing the quality of bibliographic "research" based solely upon Internet searches.

MHCWeb: Converting a WWW database into a knowledge-based collaborative environment

The World Wide Web (WWW) is useful for distributing scientific data. Most existing web data resources organize their information either in structured flat files or relational databases with basic retrieval capabilities. For databases with one or a few simple relations, these approaches are successful, but they can be cumbersome when there is a data model involving multiple relations between complex data. We believe that knowledge-based resources offer a solution in these cases. Knowledge bases have explicit declarations of the concepts in the domain, along with the relations between them. They are usually organized hierarchically, and provide a global data model with a controlled vocabulary, We have created the OWEB architecture for building online scientific data resources using knowledge bases. OWEB provides a shell for structuring data, providing secure and shared access, and creating computational modules for processing and displaying data. In this paper, we describe the translation of the online immunological database MHCPEP into an OWEB system called MHCWeb. This effort involved building a conceptual model for the data, creating a controlled terminology for the legal values for different types of data, and then translating the original data into the new structure. The 0 WEB environment allows for flexible access to the data by both users and computer programs.

Special issue: Selected papers from the sixth IFIP 2.6 working conference on visual database systems: Guest editors' introduction

While multimedia data, image data in particular, is an integral part of most websites and web documents, our quest for information so far is still restricted to text based search. To explore the World Wide Web more effectively, especially its rich repository of truly multimedia information, we are facing a number of challenging problems. Firstly, we face the ambiguous and highly subjective nature of defining image semantics and similarity. Secondly, multimedia data could come from highly diversified sources, as a result of automatic image capturing and generation processes. Finally, multimedia information exists in decentralised sources over the Web, making it difficult to use conventional content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques for effective and efficient search. In this special issue, we present a collection of five papers on visual and multimedia information management and retrieval topics, addressing some aspects of these challenges. These papers have been selected from the conference proceedings (Kluwer Academic Publishers, ISBN: 1-4020- 7060-8) of the Sixth IFIP 2.6 Working Conference on Visual Database Systems (VDB6), held in Brisbane, Australia, on 29–31 May 2002.

Applying complex network theory to the understanding of high-aspect-ratio carbon-filled composites

This work demonstrates that the theoretical framework of complex networks typically used to study systems such as social networks or the World Wide Web can be also applied to material science, allowing deeper understanding of fundamental physical relationships. In particular, through the application of the network theory to carbon nanotubes or vapour-grown carbon nanofiber composites, by mapping fillers to vertices and edges to the gap between fillers, the percolation threshold has been predicted and a formula that relates the composite conductance to the network disorder has been obtained. The theoretical arguments are validated by experimental results from the literature.

Há muito que se fala do fim do Marketing tal como o conhecemos. A segmentação cada vez maior de mercados e clientes e a importância da customização, tornaram obsoletas a maior parte das abordagens do marketing de massas. A evolução da economia e das TI (tecnologias da informação) e as consequentes alterações que esse processo implicou na cadeia de valor das empresas, nomeadamente das organizações de grande dimensão, fez com que o B2C –Business to Customer – tenha deixado de fazer sentido para estas empresas. O advento da World Wide Web e o impacto que as tecnologias «interactivas» têm actualmente sobre a economia, provocou grandes alterações nas relações entre as organizações e os seus clientes. Ao Marketing de massas sucedeu-se a relação individualizada cliente a cliente, emergente no B2B – Business to Business –one to one, onde mais importante do que as vendas é o relacionamento com o cliente que assume particular importância, nomeada mente em ordem à sua transição para outras zonas de negócio, como a Internet.
