Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become an integral part of our daily lives due to their small size, smart technology, lower cost, and wireless communication capabilities. In this paper, we propose a new WSN topology based on a hierarchical routing protocol. Additionally, we propose an enhancement to the DV-hop algorithm. Our proposed topology differs from existing approaches, and our enhanced algorithm improves upon the original DV-hop algorithm. The performance evaluations are globally satisfactory.

The increases in mobile applications, IoT, and cloud technology have recently witnessed massive data leaks, ranging from personally identifiable information to corporate secrets. Despite numerous standards and frameworks, human errors that cause information security breaches have not yet been managed. This study contributes to the ISMS literature regarding the processing and operating of an ISMS concept based on the new comprehensive measures of information security management. The study uses exploratory surveys to determine significant differences in the fifty financial institutes. The study confirmed that the primary root cause of information security incidents is the interrelationship between humans and technology. The results of this study show that the NFC principle can assist in the enhancement and ability to monitor the performance of these interconnections compared to other recognized standalone ISMS standards.

The context of this work is the selection of the services among a list of similar services. To differentiate between similar web services, the best approach to use is the one based on service quality (QoS) criteria. However, these criteria most of the time are imprecise and sometimes uncertain and ambiguous because they are based on discrete numerical data. In some situation, we need to apply the concept of partial truth, where the partial truth values are between two numerical values. The fuzzy logic can be applied to support the representation of imprecise, uncertain and ambiguous representation. It is based on the observation that people make decisions based on imprecise and nonnumerical information. In this work, we propose an approach for selecting web services based on the fuzzy logic. Indeed, we use fuzzy logic by translating the QoS values that are attributed to services into linguistic terms. In addition, we also allow the service client to formulate its requests in the form of linguistic terms. In this process, the system selects and render the desired web service to the client. Our solution is represented as three layers, i) User Layer, that receives functional or fuzzy requests from clients which treats and forward them to the next layer, ii) Basic Layer that implements the service-oriented architecture and also, obtains the QoS values from service repository; and iii) Fuzzy Layer that takes as input the quality criteria of each web service then proceeds to their fuzzification, ranking and finally assign the scores to the different web services. To validate our solution, we implemented it as a multi-agent system.

\ Diverse factors such as the development of globalisation processes and an ever-changing economic environment are encouraging companies to access external markets. Localisation, the activity that makes a certain product {\textendash}for example, a websitelinguistically and culturally appropriate for a particular country and language, is an extremely valuable tool for companies who want to pursue internationalisation strategies. In Spain, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make up over 99\% of the country{\textquoteright}s business structure. However, the localisation of their websites is often deficient. An analysis of 70 Spanish SME corporate websites was performed with the purpose of assessing the degree and characteristics of website localisation in the SME sector in Spain. It was found out that the web presence of Spanish SMEs presents serious deficiencies and that the contents offered on their websites are often poorly localised, if at all. The information gathered enabled us to put forward a series of practical recommendations for SME corporate website localisation.

The word combination of length k is weighted by the k-th root of the product of the inverse document frequencies (IDF) of its words. A computationally simple and efficient algorithm was proposed to calculate this kernel. By restricting the words of a word combination to the same sentence and considering multi-word combinations, the word combination features can capture similarity at a more specific level than single words. By discarding word order, the word combination features are more compatible with the flexibility of natural language and the dimensionality this kernel can be reduced significantly compared to the word-sequence kernel. We conducted a series of experiments on the Reuters-21578 dataset and 20 Newsgroups dataset. This kernel consistently achieves better performance than the classical word kernel and word-sequence kernel on the two datasets.

A system for automatic language identification presented here handles 14 different languages and requires no dictionary of names for traing. The statistical models are built from the general purpose corpora for all Western European, Chinese, Japanese and Turkish languages. The system is fine tuned to achieve precision and recall above 90\% for many languages, and provides better performance than some other systems aiming at the language identification of personal names.
