Abstract: Network monitoring and measurement have become more and more important in a modern complicated network. In the past, administrators might only monitor a few network devices or less than a hundred computers. The network bandwidth may be just 10 or 100 Mbps; however, now administrators have to deal with not only higher speed wired network (more than 10 Gbps and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network) but also wireless networks. Network administrators are constantly striving to maintain smooth operation of their networks. Network monitoring is a set of mechanisms that allows network administrators to know instantaneous state and long-term trends of a complex computer network. This paper provides the readers with an overview of the current network monitoring approaches, their architectures, features and properties. In addition, it presents a comparison between those approaches.

Abstract: The expansion from regional to global markets is nowadays a normal step in the life cycle of many successful companies. Public relations are company's first contact with potential clients, requiring them to give a small explanation but yet accurately enough on what the company does and how the client can benefit from it. By combining a 3D depth sensor with a holographic representation, an installation was developed capable of natural interaction with users, which can be configured for the company's needs, while passing important information. Users are capable of interacting with the holographic form using intuitive gestures and the system is capable to record users’ interactions, creating key statistics to return to the company about their main products, the attention given to each presented content, user’s actions, favourite menus, etc., including the creation of a personalized visitor cards with the users face.
