From the Paper
"During the past decade, the science of biometrics has matured into an industry that offers real world solutions to serious problems faced by corporations, academia, and government agencies. The evolution of information technology and global competition has revolutionized the way transactions are completed. Traditional methods, such as pencil and paper, face-to-face meetings, or postal services, are being increasingly replaced by electronic transactions. The growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Compared to more antiquated but familiar and traditional identification methods (producing drivers license or showing a birth certificate), biometrics are the only tools that can enhance personal privacy, efficiency, and still deliver effective solutions in situations that require confirmation of identity. Clearly, the marketplace has begun to accept biometrics as a better alternative to less secure screening and identity verification processes."

"The science and technology surrounding the techniques used to identify individuals, based on measuring the individual's physiological or behavioral features, is known as biometrics. The term, biometrics, is based on two Greek words. "Bios" means life. And, "metron" means degree. The most typical biometric technologies involve analyzing human physiological characteristics including: fingerprints, eye retinas, irises, voice recognition, facial patterns, and hand measurements. It can also include behavioral characteristics, which include: signature recognition, gait recognition, speech recognition, and typing pattern recognition ("Biometric")."

From the Paper
"The way that the biometric identifier works is simple: the customer places their finger on a scanner and a picture of the fingerprint it taken. The software then converts the fingerprint "into a map of minutiae points" (Hospitality Upgrade Magazine, 2000) and then is stored for reference. When making a purchase "the user holds a finger to the scanner, and the computer matches the stored print-map to the fingerprint. Only the minutiae points are stored in the image, not the actual fingerprint." (Hospitality Upgrade Magazine, 2000)"

Abstract
This paper looks at whether and how biometric technology can aid security issues. The author discusses the application of biometric systems and negative consequences of implementing a biometric security system. The writer concludes that although biometrics will no doubt improve security systems, their implementation raises some concerns regarding the privacy of individuals.
From the Paper
"In a world with no threat of fraud, burglary and terrorism, there would be no need of security measures to be taken and complex security systems to be installed. This world can become a better place to live without arms, ammunitions and various other destructive weaponries developed by several nations for their ?security?. However, it is very unfortunate to note that in the real world there are numerous frauds, burglaries and several other criminal activities everyday. With the development of technology especially in the areas of computer science and information technology, several new tools and systems are developed by organizations so that they can improve their security systems. The current security challenges have forced the authorities to adopt aggressive tactics to increase security. With a rise in the security concerns and threats to individuals as well as organizations, several technological developments are made in order to ensure security."

Abstract
In this article, the writer presents evidence that information collected by biometric companies does not threaten the public's privacy. The writer argues that the information gathered is not a threat to public privacy concerns and in fact can be useful for several reasons. The writer maintains that the ability to identify people using biometric information has recently come under fire by opponents who believe that gathering information is an invasion of people's property. The writer insists that while there are some seemingly valid arguments for erring on the side of privacy the actual technology and use of the information is not a constitutional breach of privacy nor should it be considered a violation of privacy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today's technology allows for the gathering of information including fingerprints, DNA, voice recognition and other elements of each person that are not easily replicated by any other. In some cases, such as the case of DNA strands, the match between two people is sometimes estimated to be one in 100 million or more. While some people believe that the gathering of biometric information is an invasion of privacy they are already submitting to it perhaps without realizing that is what is happening. Many banks currently use fingerprints and scanners to provide identification as to whether or not to allow a person to withdraw money from the bank."

According to this paper, the authors take note of a number of applications in the connection between the administrative and the clinical area, suggest how important IT systems can be to improve the delivery of service to the patient, and then consider how widely such systems have been implemented today.
From the Paper
"In healthcare institutions, there are four core IT applications: finance, clinical, outcome management, or human resources. In terms of the outcome management, a report by Mahmoud and Rice (1998) takes note of a number of applications in the connection between the administrative and the clinical area and suggest how important IT systems can be to improve the delivery of service to the patient. The authors note that IT can improve health care service delivery and that IT has a particular role in quality improvement. The authors want to conceptualize the way IT contributes to quality improvement and do so in terms of information usage, classifying information by healthcare institution processes and quality improvement stages. The diagnostic and treatment process is one of the two important processes the authors see at hospitals, and information is used in the process stage and in the outcome stage."

From the Paper
"Risk assessment has reached a new level of importance in the Information Age. The growth of sophisticated networked information systems and distributed computing has created a potentially dangerous environment for private and public organizations. ?Critical data -- such as from trade secrets, proprietary information, troop movements, sensitive medical records and financial transactions -- flows through these systems? (Hammond 1999:69). Consequently, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with potential exposure and are looking for ways to evaluate their organization's security profile today. Risk assessment software applications systems allow researchers, managers and others to perform "what if" analyses of the value of their information and various threats and vulnerabilities. For instance, risk assessment software systems such as NetSolar by Cisco, use both passive analysis and active probing methods to identify security vulnerabilities, which may increase the efficiency of vulnerability identification and reduce false-positive results. Hamilton reports that these technical assessments can differentiate between infrastructure devices (routers, switches, or firewalls) and host devices (user workstations or servers such as e-mail servers and Web servers). ?Technical vulnerability tools can find vulnerabilities in network TCP/IP hosts, UNIX hosts, Windows NT hosts, Web servers, mail servers, FTP servers, firewalls, routers and switches? (Hamilton 1999:69)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the basis for genre standardizations that would include both a normative approach and adaptive approach in educational research and application. The writer notes that by realizing the importance of normative genres in language studies, students can better understand how to categorize various issues in writing. However, the writer maintains that these normative standards cannot be so heavily relied upon that they deny new genres of significant importance. In essence, the writer argues that a balanced approach to normative and adaptive genre applications must be adhered to in an effective writing criterion for modern educational perspectives.
From the Paper
"Critics of normative genre approaches in writing provide important arguments that explain why genre studies norms must be provide a form of standardization that must be adhered to. The premise of normative standards is only providing an outline for the growingly diverse set of genre studies that have arisen in the new globalized community. Many more cultural norms and values are being expressed, which reestablish the normative ways in which people think and write. However, the premise of normative genre values is essential for various cultures to establish their cultural identity, which provides the foundation in which to understand other cultures and genre-based evaluations. This perspective is helping teachers to understand the complexities of genre studies. Devitt defines this critical stance in educational standards that is important to realizing why genre categorizations can be dangerous to effective critical thinking, yet they are needed to establish a basis for localized identity issues for the educational scholar.."

From the Paper
"Knowledge acquisition represents a field of artificial intelligence focused on the development of methods, techniques and tools for building expert system knowledge bases. During the 1970s and 1980s, most researchers and practitioners believed that knowledge should be acquired via a process involving a knowledge engineer, who interviews a domain expert regarding the knowledge domain of interest. The knowledge engineer was then responsible for organizing and formalizing the extracted knowledge to the point that it was appropriate for processing by a knowledge-based system. After processing was completed, the extracted knowledge could then be tested by presenting example problems to the knowledge-based system."

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
" For many companies today, establishing a presence online has become part and parcel of doing business; however, e-business opportunities and initiatives are frequently regarded as being both risky and challenging, particularly for bricks-and-mortar companies confronting new challenges such as a lack of e-business skills, resistance to process redesign, and the ambiguity associated with changing the information technology (IT) infrastructure of the company (Daghfous and Al-Nahas, 2006). In this regard, Jackson, Harris and Eckersley (2003) emphasize that, "As managers increasingly recognize, the Electronic Age calls into question many established 'good' business practices while also creating new challenges and dilemmas" (p. 4). Likewise, Galagan (2001) cautions, "In such a fast-moving competitive market, there are many ways for companies to take a wrong turn. Bad business models, narrow market niches, low margins, premature entry into a market, and going with the wrong technology have finished off many companies and made others targets for acquisition" (p. 33). In this environment, identifying relevant current e-business theories, real-word applications and the potential for future applications represents a timely endeavor."

VoIP in Commercial Applications
Emergent Technologies
From the Paper
"Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is not a necessarily new technology or even a revolutionary technology. However, the application of VoIP itself in the corporate and consumer environment, once widely achieved, has the ability to revolutionize the communication industry and the way that both professional and private consumers convey information vis-a-vis the plain old telephone system (POTS). VoIP has its roots in a technology developed during the 1980s called time division multiplexing which divided up bandwidth on a wide area network (WAN) between voice data and traditional data streams(IP, 2003). In essence VoIP is telephone service that employs the backbone of the Internet to replace the traditional switching and signal transportation hardware of normal telephone lines."
