TITLE:
National Information Systems Security.
ABSTRACT:
National Information Systems that consist of strategic information at personal and enterprise level must be protected against threats. Personal and enterprise level security precautions are increasing day by day in order to decrease probable security threats that occur as a result of information being produced, processed, transferred, stored and shared among national information systems. In this speech, importance of personal and enterprise information security, how to provide national information security, importance of information security education and awareness to improve human factor which is the weakest link of security life cycle and security tests supplying improvements of security processes have been examined. Finally some evaluations about national information security have been performed.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Seref Sagiroglu was born in Turkey. He received the BS degree in electronic engineering from Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey, in 1987, and the PhD degree in system engineering from the University of Wales College of Cardiff, UK, in 1994. He is now professor at the Department of Computer Engineering, Gazi University. His research interests include modern and intelligent system identification, modeling and control, computer and information security, national and enterprise security, mobile and electronic signatures, biometrics, spywares, web-based applications.

TITLE:
Cisco Collaboration Solution.
ABSTRACT:
Tools for collaboration come in many forms: wikis, blogs, virtual workspaces, video presentations, IM, social networking sites, and voice and web conferencing are just a few. With this in mind, strategic planners in IT need to ensure they construct a core foundation that supports a rapidly evolving set of applications - one that also optimizes the various media types that comprise today’s collaborative experience. The Cisco collaboration architecture defines a set of core collaboration services that you should consider when planning such a foundation - one that suits your organization’s specific IT roadmap for delivering collaborative capabilities to the business.
Cisco’s open, interoperable architecture powers our collaboration portfolio. From the beginning, it is constructed to enable boundaryless collaboration - breaking down silos between content formats, between individual tools and devices, between companies, and ultimately between people working toward a common goal. In the industry, its foremost differentiator is that it helps ensure interoperability among existing and new forms of communications and collaboration technologies, further enabling both structured and impromptu business processes.
The Cisco collaboration architecture consists of the following layers:
- Network services
- Medianet services
- Collaboration services
- Client services
- Collaboration applications
- Devices

TITLE:
Avicenna Virtual Campus: prospects for development in Eurasia
ABSTRACT:
The main goal of Avicenna Virtual Campus concept is the improvement of access to quality of education and science and technology using ICTs reinforce the capacity building in education.
By the end of 2006 the results of the project were :
- A Virtual Campus put in place of 14 e-learning centres for Capacity building and Teacher Training in Mediterranean region
- 1000 teachers trained on the engineering online course production and new teaching methodology and curriculum development;
- A Virtual Library built with 200 online modules (20h each) in science and technology;
- More than 140.000 students enrolled;
- 80 seminars organised, 8 films produced and more than 1.500 blind students use through internet the adapted online courses (e-learning for Blind).
The concept of Avicenna was extended / (or under extension) to many other regions and within some countries (as Africa, Caucasian countries, Iraq, Palestine, Togo, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Benin and Ethiopia).
