“…When designing a WLAN indoors a number of factors are considered. The most important consideration is the ability to transmit data to mobile devices at as high a rate as possible, without losing quality of service (QoS) (Wang and Du, 2005). However, this is dependent on installing as little extra infrastructure as possible.…”

Using Wi-Fi signals is an attractive and reasonably affordable option to deal with the currently unsolved problem of widespread tracking in an indoor environment. Our system, history aware-based indoor tracking system (HABITS) models human movement patterns and this knowledge is incorporated into a discrete Bayesian filter to predict the areas that will, or will not, be visited in the future. These probabilistic predictions may be used as an additional input into building automation systems for intelligent control of heating and lighting. This paper outlines current indoor tracking methods and the weaknesses associated with them. It describes in detail the operation of the HABITS algorithm and discusses the implementation of this algorithm in relation to indoor Wi-Fi tracking with a large wireless network. Testing of HABITS shows that it gives comparable levels of accuracy to those achieved by doubling the number of access points. It is twice as accurate as existing systems in dealing with signal black spots and it can predict the final destination of a person within the test environment almost 80% of the time.

The introduction of smart card technology has ushered in a new era of electronic medical information systems. Taiwan's Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI) implemented the National Health Insurance (NHI) smart card project in 2004. The purpose of the project was to replace all paper cards with one smart card. The NHI medical network now provides three kinds of services. In this paper, we illustrate the status of the NHI smart card system in Taiwan and propose three kinds of value-added applications for the medical network, which are electronic exchange of medical information, retrieval of personal medical records and medical e-learning for future development of health information systems.

“…Unfortunately, with the ever-growing pervasiveness of information technology, problems such as these will only continue to become worse. Some industries such as health care will see tremendous growth in wireless access (Wang and Du, 2005) and as result will have to be more concerned with the legal issues of IP2PFS. With this in mind, both universities and businesses alike should give serious thought to their participation in these activities and develop policies and procedures to limit the liability of the university to the internet with regard to copyrighted materials.…”

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are easy to use and pervasive at a variety of institutions, both public and private, business, governmental and academic. They cause major problems with the networks upon which they are applied: viruses, worms, spyware and adware can cause crippling congestion of the network resources. Additionally, P2P file sharing applications typically violate the copyright law, as well as create legal liability through the concepts found in tort law. This paper will present very basic definitions of P2P technology, a review of the pervasiveness of the use of IP2PFS and a brief survey of legal measures designed to prevent illegal usage.
