CVS for Handasa Arabia

Now Handasa Arabia has a CVS server, thanks to Andrew Godwin.
The CVS will hold the code files and the documentation files to be accessed by everyone, and no registration is required to download the files.

You can have a look at the web interface here http://cvs.handasarabia.org

Presentation on Bit-Stream Operation

File: ./files/0027/bitstream.ppt

This document is part of the design specifications of the NOUR project developed under "Handasa Arabia" . NOUR project is addressing a design and development for an "Open Bluetooth Baseband IP core".This document presents a supporting explanation for the hardware design specifications of the bluetooth baseband bit-stream processing components; CRC, HEC, Whitening and FEC.
It is recommended for designers and developers of NOUR before starting RTL coding to digest the processing scheme along the architecture of the bit-stream processing engine of the Bluetooth datapath.

UC Berkeley "Smart Dust" Technology

Link: http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pister/SmartDust/

The science/engineering goal of the Smart Dust Technology is to demonstrate that a complete sensor/communication system can be integrated into a cubic millimeter package.This involves both evolutionary and revolutionary advances in miniaturization, integration, and energy management.
Smart Dust networking technology is based on years of research at University of California at Berkeley.

In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and others (February 18, 2004) announced that they have poured $7 million in funds into Dust Inc., a developer of devices for wireless mesh sensor networks according to this EEtimes article.

The technology has a diverse fields of applications in Building automation, Industrial monitoring, defense, etc.
The wireless sensors networking features beyond the Smart Dust technology is worth investigating and studying from all the engineering community.

The research in Universities is adherent to applications in industry; Smart Dust project emerged from the University of California at Berkeley is a state-of-the-art model for that relationship.

5 years ago... Schoolgirl stuns IT security world

A 16-year old Irish schoolgirl has developed a mathematical system that encrypts data far faster than the industry standard.

Sarah Flannery became Ireland's Young Scientist of the Year this week, after presenting her Cayley-Purser algorithm to mathematical experts. Judges described Flannery's work as brilliant, and advised her to publish her proof that the code is secure.
