“…The wireless transmission nature of Wi-Fi makes the data travelling through these networks vulnerable to various types of attack such as man-in-the-middle ( [1], [3], [32], [38]) and eavesdropping ( [19], [16]), especially when the networks do not use encryption. Many free public Wi-Fi fall into this category [2]. Even with an encryption standard such as WPA2, Wi-Fi is not immune from vulnerabilities [40].…”

Many people find public Wi-Fi networks convenient but these networks harbor security and privacy risks. As public knowledge of these risks becoming common, we investigated whether the risks were still at large and what factors influenced users to use the networks-being the first study to draw evidence from Japan. Adapting the methodology from a previous study in the UK, we first set up an experimental open public Wi-Fi network at 11 locations in downtown Nara and captured Internet traffic. From approximately 7.7 million packets captured from 196 unique mobile devices during a 150-hour experiment, we found private photos, emails, documents, and login credentials being transmitted in clear text without encryption-confirming that not only did many applications still fail to encrypt data-inmotion but also did many users continue to use unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. We then used a scenario-based survey to examine factors affecting the users' decision to use the networks. From 103 participants, we found that the desire to conserve mobile data-a form of resource preservation heuristic-instigated a risk-taking attitude and influenced participants, especially among those usually having a small monthly data plan, to use unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. Female and those having finish highschool only, were also more likely to use the networks.

“…A brief look at the mechanisms of hardware and software redundancy. RAID arrays (redundant array of independent disks, [9]) is a redundant mass of independent disks. These arrays serves to increase the reliability of data storage and/or to increase the speed of read/write information (or both simultaneously).…”

This Publication has to be referred as: Davydov AbstractThis paper presents a solution to the problems of redundancy and organisation of the software architecture inherent in robotic systems and its' simulators. The analysis and comparison of these solutions with the existing ones are given. It was designed a new software architecture for controlling mobile robotic complexes on the base of two models. Developed simulators and usage of the actor model were the base for creating the technological platforms for distributed software control, providing the simultaneous access of several users to a group of mobile robots and their virtual models.Keywords: building a network of robotarium; distributed control of mobile robots and their simulation software for mobile robot; reservation methods in robotics; dynamic reprogramming Main problemsWhen developing intelligent robots, one of the problems is the lack of effective software to create systems of group control. For example, in the well-known software packages (ROS, MRS, and others) does not included specific development tools for control of distributed mechatronic systems, especially in remote mode. They also have a common disadvantage, that is the unreasonably high costs associated with installing, upgrading and maintaining equipment and working in this software environment. This paper presents the results of the development and testing of the new software-information platform to provide the user with unified access to the software environment to control a variety of robots, including operational and remote changes of executing programs during their functioning.This enables the following: reducing the cost of setting up executing programs; implementation of operational adjustments during operation of the robots; improving the efficiency of the developed technical tools for teaching and learning processes of the students (see Fig. 1), specialised in robotics and IT-industry, by increasing the use of training equipment due to the paralleling access to it.-1234 -
