Ignoring security threats can have serious consequences; therefore host machines in network must continually be monitored for intrusions since they are the final endpoint of any network.As a result, this paper presents an Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IIDPS), which monitors a single host system from three different layers; files analyzer, system resource and connection layers. The approach introduced, a multi -layered approach, in which each layer harnesses both aspects of existing approach, signature and anomaly approaches, to achieve a better detection and prevention capabilities. The design of IIDPS consist of three basic components; the iExecutive which is an agent that runs in the background, iBaseline which is a database that stores the signatures of intrusions and the iManager which is a user Interface that serves as an intermediary between the IIDPS and the user.This work serves as a foundation upon which interested researchers can further build on to achieve better detection and prevention capabilities.

The Internet world as we know it today has undergone far-reaching changes since its early days while becoming a critical communications underpinning our economic performance and social welfare. The 3D Internet is poised to replace the 2D Internet as we know it today. This paper takes a look at the two types of Internet, advantages and disadvantages and the future of the present Internet as we know it.

E-learning systems have evolved from basic instructional tools to sophisticated systems capable of providing robust virtual learning environment, where students can benefit from long distance courses with learning experience comparable to physical classroom courses.However, while e-learning systems are experiencing a proliferated development and adoption by schools in both developed and undeveloped economy, in most cases, there still exist a gap between the e-learning application and other non-academic services and community within the institution. This paper explains the development, implementation and use of an extended e-learning system named i-Converge that uses a social networking approach to enhance activities in a university. The system is built on a model that attempts to integrate several entities within the academic institution with a view to providing a holistic, and comprehensive learning system where information exchange is simplified and enhanced between all stakeholders in the institution. The system although implemented for use in a university will be further extended and implemented for use in any institution.
