Abstract The aim of the present study is to examine the position and various aspects of professional ethics for librarians. According to the results, since librarians are the focus of clients of all types, levels, cultures and beliefs, the importance of professional ethics should be clearly explained for librarians.

The aim of the present study is to examine the position and various aspects of professional ethics for librarians. According to the results, since librarians are the focus of clients of all types, levels, cultures and beliefs, the importance of professional ethics should be clearly explained for librarians. Hence, library regulations should give priority to ethical principles, as one of the professional and business requirements. As they adhere to other professional principles and guidelines, all librarians should observe librarianship ethics to achieve success in decision making and giving proper services to the clients. It also enables librarians to give best services to public, as the existential philosophy of libraries. The basic norms discussed in the present paper are integrating knowledge and expertise with ethical values and commitment to the unbiased free flow of information, respect for self and others and respect for the privacy of others. Accordingly, a code of professional ethics for librarians was proposed. Read More Read Less

Abstract For relational database management researchers deploy many indexing techniques. Speed of data insertion and retrieval depends on type of query and available Indexing mechanism. The prevalent mechanisms lack in terms of space time efficiency and simple structure, for real time applications where the database system needs to handle queries like equality search & range search. Even for simple tasks like... For relational database management researchers deploy many indexing techniques. Speed of data insertion and retrieval depends on type of query and available Indexing mechanism. The prevalent mechanisms lack in terms of space time efficiency and simple structure, for real time applications where the database system needs to handle queries like equality search & range search. Even for simple tasks like getting data by ID, a system imposes heavy resource utilization. For Example, Applications such as, telephone directory, transaction information details in banking, status about railway reservation etc., backed with relational database system that employs complex structure like B-Tree or B+-Tree. Hence in such cases, instead of those complex structures, if some lighter and simpler technique is used, then it can greatly enhance the overall performance. The paper presents how the proposed technique can significantly impact the overall performance, if used as primary Indexing method for range search & equality search queries. Read More Read Less

Abstract Telematics is a composite of vehicle tracking system and vehicle navigation system. Information Management system is usually used for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes only.

Information Management system is usually used for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes only. A Telematics & Information Management system has been developed to facilitate a driver in driving, as well as maintenance of a vehicle. The designed system provides a broad spectrum of services ranging from automotive tracking, navigational, engine health monitoring, and driver-profiling to e-tolling. Cybersecurity facet of the CATIMS has been designed and developed to protect the system from a cyber-attack. The transmission of telematics data over a GSM/GPRS network can be intercepted and valuable organizational information can be compromised. The information transmitted by CATIMS device to central server and vice versa to CATIMS is encrypted. Industrial standard protocol SSL is used to secure the TCP socket which is primary communication channel of the CATIMS. AES is employed to secure the SMS, which is the backup communication channel. CATIMS device is based on an M2M Processor. CATIMS has an integrated on-board diagnostics (OBD) module to provide various vehicle parameters like speed, rpm, throttle, and fuel level etc. Embedded WiFi module pairsup with Nokia Lumia Tablet to provide tracking, and navigation functionality. C#.net and NI Measurement Studio based App powered by MS SQL Server added information management features to CATIMS. This paper presents the complete system design and development lifecycle (SDLC) of Cyber-secure Automotive Telematics & Information Management system (CATIMS). Read More Read Less
