Abstract - The increasing expansion and diversification in the strategies and practices of cybercrime has become a difficult obstacle in order both to understand the extent of embedded risks and to define efficient policies of prevention for corporations, institutions and agencies. The present study represents the most comprehensive review of the origin, typologies and developments of Cybercrime phenomenon over the past decade so far. By means of this detailed study, this paper tackles the issue first describing and discussing former different criteria of classification in the field and secondly, providing a broad list of definitions and an analysis of the cybercrime practices. A conceptual taxonomy of cybercrime is introduced and described. The proposal of a classification criterion is used in conjunction with a cybercrime hierarchy derived from the degrees and scale of vulnerability and targets.

Abstract - Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) are a Class of MANETs used for communication among vehicles and between vehicles and roadside equipment. VANET provide the communication framework for dissemination of safety critical message such as beacons and emergency messages. Due to the technological involvement there are more number of wireless devices, which also creates more congestion in the wireless environment and greatly effect on the throughput, increases high-error rate, long-latency and data loss in congested environment which may leads to major vehicle accidents. So, the scheme which controls congestion is necessary to regulate the traffic level at an acceptable level. The proposed scheme includes study existing 802.11p standard and develop an algorithm on MAC to modify parameters like transmission power, Slot time and packet interval to reduce the congestion due to heavy broadcast traffic in the network for VANET.

Abstract - A Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) is a wireless sensor network where all nodes in at least one level of the network hierarchy are in a line. The architecture and protocols proposed for a general WSN may not be suitable for linear applications like monitoring pipelines and railways, and therefore we must present the applications needing Linear WSN and study the specific design requirements for it. This paper illustrates the importance of LWSN through applying various potential applications that use LWSN in order that they may benefit in terms of reduced time and cost of network deployment and maintenance, large scalability, and easy deployment of nodes in the network. The paper begins by presenting a new classification for LWSN in network topology (linear sequential, linear parallel and grid) and in network hierarchy (flat architecture, multi-hop architecture and hierarchical architecture). Then, a detailed explanation for almost all potential applications of LWSN is given. The paper ends with a discussion on different open research areas that need to be studied and argued over by researchers in the future in order to complete our understanding of (and the benefits to be derived from) LWSN in various applications.
