| 2 | MPEG7/MPEG21 : Handling multimedia content | Mohammad Ghanbari | University of Essex, United Kingdom |
With the advances in IT-infrastructure and multimedia technology, searching the media for the content of interest is becoming more important than ever. The main aims of MPEG 7 are to set standards for finding contents, purely based on multimedia content (video/image, sound) while MPEG21 sets a much wider picture of how multimedia content can be defined as digital objects and transported over the network. E-commerce technology and several electronic transactions, are small subsets of MPEG21 goals. Others services that can also benefit from handling multimedia content, is the News room, where TV broadcasters, can automatically find their programs on a vast amount of multimedia servers to be broadcasted / edited and prepared almost on line. |
· Compression of audio and video for storage and networking · Segmentation of compressed video · Searching the media by multimedia content · Shape, Co lour, Texture, Motion, as the prime search components · Video watermarking and its application to E-commerce, broadcasting and networking · Video News room and archives |

| 3 | A Review of Intellectual Property Protection Approaches in Electronic Commerce(Watermarking Method) | Seyed Kamal Vaezi | Institute of Information Technology, Tarbiat Modares University |
Digital watermarking is
the best way to protect intellectual property from illicit copying.
Digital watermarks hide the identity of an image or audio file in its
noise signal. A pattern of bits inserted into a digital image, audio or
video file that identifies the files copyright information. |

| 7 | An Introduction to Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) | Mohammad Khansari, Jalal Hajiqolamali |
Director of Iran Free/Open Source National Project (Formerly GNU/Linux Localization), Senior consultant of Iran Free/Open Source National Project
|
The history of FOSS backs to around 20 years ago. During last two decades, FOSS Free software with its unique distributed software development model has gained the interests of many IT users and professional ranging from the ordinary users to developers and policy makers. Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. This type of software freedom has provide the government with many advantages such as vendor independence, security, reliability, reduce reliance of import, and developing local software capacity. Moreover, Free software definition implies special software development, licensing, and business models. This workshop clear the origins of the FOSS movement and its reasons of spreading around the world. The pros and cons of FOSS and experience of other countries in applying it to their IT systems will be explained. Some |

| 8 | HP Template for Documenting Software and Firmware Architecture [1] | Dr. Mohsen Sadighi Moshkenani |
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Isfahan University of Technology |
IEEE Recommendation [2] defines architecture as the fundamental organization of a system embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and to the environment and the principles guiding its design and evolution. Software architectures are important because they represent the single abstraction for understanding the structure of a system and form the basis for a shared understanding of a system and all its stakeholders (product teams, hardware and marketing engineers, senior management, and external partners). This is why software architecture documenting is a must. This workshop discusses about the Hewlett Packard (HP) template for architecture documenting: how to document purposes, concepts, context and interface of a system, how to specify system structure in terms of its components, their interfaces, and their connections, and how to describe system behavior. This Template uses the UML notation |

| 10 | Enterprise Intrusions Detection systems for corporate network security | M.R..Ahmadi | Iran Telecom Research center | Network security and particularly, Internet security, is at the forefront of business network management and data integrity assurance for network service providers. Confidence in the use of the Internet for business purposes, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions relies on effective authentication and intruder detection processes. Regrettably, the triumph of the Internet design for global information access and sharing is at risk of being tarnished as a ubiquitous open trading environment by unscrupulous and vindictive attacks. Information security is thus the overarching concern of Internet businesses and users! | A general security goal is to prevent intrusions. However, no prevention measures can provide adequate security assurance, unless the organization also has an effective strategy for handling intrusion dynamics that include Preparation, Detection and Response. The scope of this paper focuses on the preparation, detection and response phases. The paper also covers, albeit briefly, pre-intrusion planning requirements, hacker perspectives and aims, risk judgments and associated technical methods, such as, foot-printing, scanning, enumeration and then gaining access into the network. | 60 minutes |
| 11 | Next Generation Intrusion detection system using correlation techniques | M.Satti | Australia/Dubai internet city Dubai UAE | The System which would serve next generation Internet security will work along the guidelines of common platform and enhance the ability of common security product like firewall, Intrusion Detection systems, anti-virus, Virtual Private Network (VPN) PKI and systems access control in order to differentiate between real anomaly events and the false alarms on a full time basis. | This prolific solution based on 3-Tiers technology requires minimum onsite deployment modification and has the ability to correlate security incidents. It works by using revolutionary inference technology that understands the different protocols used by the numerous security products in the market. It should however not impact on the speed of the network core functions. Basically it will not replace any previous Security hardware and software but just fit into existing security infrastructure and provide addition management console as a single point of response and interaction. Managing from single point would be lot easier and quicker in response, rather tracing attacks from different log files and even from multiple GUI Interfaces. The Correlation Engine is an ultimate solution of these tedious processes and these complex subtleties of Security monitoring. | 60 minutes |
| 12 | Spatial Analysis, Geo information technology | J.Shahrabi | Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran |
Geographic Information Technology (GIT) is a new technology and one of the fastest growing areas of the IT technology. GIT is multidisciplinary in nature that combine computer, communication and visualization technologies to handling information related to location in order to support application of geographical data in different disciplines. During the last decades, GIT has developed very powerful tools for data handling and analysis. Geographic Information Systems are powerful applications that manage and manipulate spatially referenced data using spatial analysis. Spatial analysis can be defined as a quantitative data analysis in which the focus is on the role of space and which relies on explicitly spatial variables in the explanation or prediction of the phenomenon under investigation. This Workshop discusses on the importance of GIT in IT industry and describes the spatial analysis role and importance in GIT applications. The audiences learn the basics of GIT and spatial analysis knowledge and will be familiar to their capabilities and applications. Also some advanced methods of spatial analysis using in recent GIT systems and new developments will be discusse |
