The most valuable asset for their development was its integration in the information systems of organizations of every kind. Motivation for this integration from the very beginning have been the reduced operational costs and the new advanced tools that were able to solve decision-based problems and operate in a much faster tempo reducing the effect of the bureaucracy. In the last couple of years' there are also major threats & privacy risks that have been discovered due to the leak of NSA's private information. The stakes about law regulations & directives have never been higher. Cloud computing as a technology and as a service, now more than ever, requires attention for a safety establishment in order to protect not only itself but also the people related to it-customers, engineers, entrepreneurs –. In this paper we analyze both the legal & the technical spectrum related to security and safety of information regarding cloud computing services.

Research paper thumbnail of The relations between Greece’s secondary & higher (tertiary) education and how they affect young entrepreneurship

In this paper we will try not only to sum up facts and analyze today’s reality regarding the transition of students from higher education to universities, but also to propose possible solutions that could speed up the improvement of many critical issues & factors that most of the time judge & define if not ones future, society’s for sure, in long-term distance.

Furthermore there will be two analytical descriptions. The one of higher education’s condition & problems that may exist, including any possible social effect factors - on what situation future universities students are being called to encounter - and the one of the universities, that due to all those problems mentioned before tend to drive away grads & undergrads from thinking with a clear critical mind, harming the young entrepreneurship in the worst possible way.

Αυτό έγκειται κυρίως στο πόσο φορητή έχει γίνει η τεχνολογία πλέον. Σχεδόν όλοι έχουν έναν φορητό υπολογιστή ή ένα smart phone σήμερα. Αυτό συνεπάγεται στο να είναι και το διαδίκτυο όσο «φορητό» γίνεται, κάτι που η ενσύρματή τεχνολογία δεν επιτρέπει. Για αυτό δημιουργήθηκε η ανάγκη ασύρματου πρωτοκόλλου επικοινωνίας. Το ποιο διαδεδομένο από αυτά είναι το Wi-Fi, που μας επιτρέπει να συνδεθούμε ασύρματα σε ένα δίκτυο μέσο φορητού υπολογιστή, smart phone ή ακόμη και από άλλες συσκευές. Στην παρούσα έρευνα παρουσιάζουμε τι συνηθίζεται στα Wi-Fi της Αττικής από θέμα ασφάλειας, τεχνολογίας, αξιοπιστίας, τεχνικής και κατασκευάστριας εταιρίας.

world approach the structure of their faculty's curriculum on a different basis. In
latest years student mobility has been increased. Thus, the need for a common
language between universities created prototypes for the recognition of the courses.
In several countries, as part of the nation's culture, university courses aren't offered
in foreign language and most importantly in English. In such way, many benefits
regarding students discretion in mobility, professors teaching abilities and
university's international partnerships are compromised. A new approach should be
taken into consideration changing the previous faulting situation based on
international standards. Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) and Institute of
Electronics and Electrical Engineering (IEEE) two well known international research
organizations focused on computer science and engineering in general suggested
modern curriculum for engineers based on the market needs and latest research
edge. HEIs should take in consideration the suggested changes to modernize their
engineering faculties curriculum. Additionally, e-learning techniques have been
radically improved over the latest years, offering numerous advantages for distance
learning, cost reduction and program flexibility. A joint approach of standards and
new technologies may leverage up HEIs and consequently professors and students.

types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected. Nowadays, 8.2 million,

people worldwide died from cancer in 2012, while the 30% of cancers could be prevented to the

modern society, where networks provide access to all individuals, preventing on-line programs could be

developed, aimed their education.

The aim of the online program will be to create a core of public health and clinical professionals who

will be informed for the evolution in cancer therapy and prevention, while they will provide answers to

the people concerned. Also, specialists will be positioned to generate new knowledge and public health

practice to advance cancer prevention.

Moreover, the overall goal of this program will be the development of social networks, which will

advance the prevention of cancer, through the education of patients and individuals for spreading the

importance of preventing cancer. Last but not least, this program will sufficiently well anchored in

professional networks that they will be able to monitor future developments in the field of cancer research

and translate their knowledge into cancer prevention, research at a variety of institutional settings.

Furthermore this program will give us the chance to make information spread widely around the globe

with campaigns, advertisements and educational material.

In conclusion, prevention of cancer, through interactive educational system and traveling to communities all across world will advance the message that cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable.
