International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

New emerging technologies like Multimedia applications require timely delivery of information as compared to reliability. The most widely used protocols over transport layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Both of these have some drawbacks while using in real time applications. TCP increases delay in transfer of data but achieving reliable transfer of data while UDP does not provide any acknowledgment, hence it overcomes the problem of delay but lacking congestion control mechanism. To provide congestion control over transport layer using UDP, Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) has been designed to provide timely delivery of data …

Keynote: Role Of Values & Culture In Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad Aug 2005

Keynote: Role Of Values & Culture In Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

It is no longer unusual to see, in a remote town in northern area in Pakistan, a practically non-literate wagon driver calling from his Nokia cell phone his uncle in Dubai or in Karachi. He enjoys sharing with him about his success in business and the settlement of family disputes. While he is driving on dangerous curvy roads and having this conversation, in the back seat of the wagon a comparatively young person is playing games on his cell phone. All this was unimaginable a quarter of a century ago.
