1. My experience in the Matrix is similar to your Allegory of the Cave in the sense that it has taught me how to perceive my reality and to differentiate between what is real and what is not. Your allegory talks about prisoners being trapped in a cave‚ restricted by chains with their backs towards the exit‚ only being able to see shadows produced by a source of fire. This means that the shadows are the only thing they know‚ which is their reality. Once someone is able to breakthrough and find

Virtual Reference: Final Report Course: WXGB6110 Date Submitted: 9th January‚ 2013 Introduction RUSA (Reference & User Services Association) defines Virtual Reference (VR) as a reference service initiated electronically‚ often in real-time‚ where patrons employ computers or other Internet technology such as chat‚ videoconferencing‚ Voice over IP‚ co-browsing‚ e-mail‚ and instant messaging to communicate with reference staff‚ without being physically present (ALA‚ 2008).

if a highly violent game would affect 4th and 5th grade kids differently than a nonviolent game or a paper-and-pencil game. Tamborini et all (2000) predicted that aggressive thoughts and behaviors would be highest amongst those playing a violent virtual reality game followed by those playing a violent standard game‚ followed by those playing a nonviolent standard game. Derek (1995) was interested in what effect‚ if any‚ playing violent games would have on aggressiveness in different personality types

Section: 1 Date: 1 / 5 / 2012 1 ENCS 413 – Report #3 Abstract VLAN or Virtual Local Area Network is a term to describe a network where devices are separated into virtual distinct networks‚ although their physical connections appear to be on the same network. Also VLANs can make two devices appear connected to the same network segment although they are physically not. In essence‚ VLANs are virtual networks that provide logical connections different than the physical ones. In this

This report is talking about securing IaaS implementations as it is more manageable. IaaS implementation consists of a set of nodes inside a cluster; each of them runs a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to host customer virtual machines‚ and all are managed by a cloud manager (CM).

Best defined‚ virtual teams are a group of individuals belonging to an organisation working towards a common goal within the organisation‚ but are not geographically in the same location (Klitmoller and Lauring 2013; Dekker‚ Rutte and Van den Berg‚ 2008).

In virtualization‚ there are several virtual copies of a physical resource‚ and the access to the resource is usually multiplexed in a time-sharing manner. On the other hand‚ real-time computing expects deterministic patterns of execution. Resource sharing will increase the degree of uncertainty
