Deploy Internet Explorer 8 for Better Security
Don?t leave your company at a higher risk by using a competing browser or an older version of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 8 is the best browser at protection from malware (based on NSS Labs Web Browser Security Report 3/12/2009). With the Smart Screen Filter, you can protect against evolving threats like type 1 "reflective" XSS attacks, one of the most common vulnerabilities. And with In Private Filtering your company will have an added level of control and choice about the information 3rd-party websites can potentially use to track browsing activity.

Coding Factorial Pulse Codebook Using Combination of Factorial Packing and Arithmetic Coding
A Factorial Packing approach using combinatorial functions for coding of pulse sequences is presented. An arithmetic coding approach for coding the pulse sequence is also proposed. Factorial packing and arithmetic coding are compared. A method of combining the two approaches is proposed. The proposed combining method works by extending the pulse sequence by one bit whose probability is found from the arithmetic coding bounds.

CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORKS FOR VIDEO ON DEMAND AND IPTV SERVICES
The advances in information, computer technology and broadband connectivity have eased the way to reach desired content. TV service is not immune to these changes and watching television is today increasingly switching to an on-demand type of experience. This is especially true for the Internet TV (IPTV) services, where there is a phenomenal growth of demand for interactive TV experience, placing a high burden on the underlying solution that requires numerous precisely orchestrated technologies to deliver a quality viewing experience. It is capable of providing Video-on-Demand (VoD), live TV, private video recording (PVR) capabilities, time-shifted television (TSTV), Near VoD, Subscription VoD services, etc. This transition to the time shifted viewing patterns has also brought forth many technical challenges regarding the distribution of electronic content, such as how to send large video files, how to deal with the stream load when all users are ordering the same or different films, how to transmit the video stream to a global network over a long distance. It is where a Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution comes into the overall VoD system design in order to resolve these issues. CDN is a distributed video management and delivery system integrated within the data network. It is based on a system of servers with massive storage that places copies from the content library closer to the end user so as to maximize the available bandwidth, and consequently reduces the data access times. Topology of CDN follows central-edge architecture, thus it can push the popular video content to the edge nodes, while utilizing the global load balancing and application redirection technologies to ensure the end-user can watch the requested program without delay. In this article, we are to shed additional light on the technical challenges surrounding distribution of electronic content, namely designing Video-on-Demand Systems, scaling Content Delivery Networks, and allocating databases in distributed computing systems
