Internet technology

The rapid and extensive growth of Internet technology increases the importance of protecting computer networks from attacks. In the last years the number of network attacks has been raised very promptly that has led to significant problems in different companies. For instance some companies like Yahoo were attacked by DoS (denial of service), costing them millions of dollars.

Nowadays process simulation is concentrated in a surprisingly low number of systems. On the other hand, the needs in modelling of industrial users are much larger than those supplied by generic software capabilities. The solution to this contradiction involves a large cooperation between specialised software firms and the community of CAPE users. This should exploit the Internet technology. 

Perhaps the most important property of the TCP/IP protocol suite is that it makes possible the interconnection and interworking of subnetworks. The introduction and wide apphcation of the concept of such subnetworks played a fundamental role in the rapid and successful proliferation of the Internet technology. The value of integrating diverse subnetworks into one cohesive Internet is what makes the Internet such a great network tool. 

The development of a new-generation Internet was initiated in order to overcome the weaknesses of the traditional Internet technology in handling the exponential growth of the user community, the fast change in quality, reliability, and security requirements, and the increased complexity of the transmitted information. (Strictly speaking, security is outside of the Internet itself. The need for security became a hot topic with the advent of readily accessible information via the Internet. The present TCP/IP protocol suite does not provide security itself.)... 

Integrating networking services and network-based applications (Internet technology) in the operations and activities of the organization or company. 

The introduction of Internet technology in industrial engineering starts with a preliminary definition of the company s business requirements and objectives. From these, the potential network apphcations can be derived. The planning and implementation phases can be started. 

Unlike applications based on electronic data interchange (EDI) and other previous uses of computer networks, the Internet has brought integration and versatility to existing computer and network technologies to the extent that firms and consumers are said to be in a virtual economic arena. A variety of commercial and economic activities faU within the realm of electronic commerce as long as they are carried out in the electronic marketplace. In this chapter, we present an overview of business and industrial applications of the Internet technologies. 

These forces are fundamental because they will not be going away any time soon and many mmket responses to them are irreversible. Globalization rmd internet technologies are but two examples of changes with permanent and lasting impact. 

JNC has two fundamental issues to address in the future of our international co-operation knowledge preservation and communication. However, while the fast reactor project has slowed down, progress in computer technology has accelerated. There are opportunities provided by cheap digital storage and by the Internet technology, and it is these that form the basis of JNC s proposals. 

JNC is proposing a joint approach to knowledge preservation and retrieval. The proposed concept, dubbed the International Super-Archive Network (ISAN), would make use of the standardized software and the Internet technologies. 

Nearly all this appendix is taken from the lecture notes of Mark Gales given for the MPhil in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology at the University of Cambridge.
