“…Clearly, the recent changes and wide-scale adoption in pervasive technologies has made the sharing of materials simpler. As Wong and Whitten (2006) describe, "computing technologies have grown to saturate every aspect of human life". Broadband technologies can be found around the globe and wireless access is growing both in terms of adoption and network throughput (Choi et al, 2005).…”

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.

“…This statement is about the emerging integration of computing and the physical space by embedding computers into objects and places (Weiser, 1991(Weiser, , 1993. In this age of embedded and invisible computing, computers operate silently and autonomously, requiring no or very little human intervention or complicated manipulations (Mattern, 2001;Saha and Mukherjee, 2003;Wong and Whitten, 2006). Ubiquitous computing, based on networks made up of massive quantities of chip sensors that are interlinked through wireless connections and accessible through mobile devices from virtually anywhere and at any time, is expected to bring major changes to our lifestyle from e-commerce to ubiquitous life (Gershman and Fano, 2005;Jessup and Robey, 2002).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated model for manpower forecasting for the information security (IS) industry, one of the fastest growing IT-related industries. The proposed model incorporates three critical factors (feedback structure, time lags, and a flexible saturation point) in a system dynamics (SD) simulation frame. Design/methodology/approach-A simulation model using SD is developed for a dynamic manpower forecasting by decomposing complex processes of manpower planning into a set of feedback loops with a causal-loop diagram. Data gathered from a Korean Government agency were utilized in the simulation for forecasting the manpower demand and supply in the context of the IS industry. Findings-The simulation results showed an overall IS manpower shortage in the IS industry. Policy alternatives were proposed based on the simulation results. The simulation model was rerun to reflect the various alternatives to achieve a stable manpower balance between demand and supply. Originality/value-The research provides insights into the development of effective manpower planning at the industry level (macro level), and policies to increase its efficiency and effectiveness. The research model was developed and verified using SD.
