Socially Driven Business – Theory & Practice : Lessons learnt from the TAMK Consulting Academy - ProLearning collaboration for social business

This thesis provides a look at the different aspects surrounding socially driven businesses. It tells what they are, and what they are not, how TCA worked on exploring the discipline, and examples of a few global projects that illustrate their applicability. As a result, TCA receives an insight on what roles it can play in the field of social business as an educational program. As social business is fairly new concept, a document analysis research was conducted in order to achieve the theoretical background needed to make any credible actions, analyzes and therefore conclusions. For the field work, observations about the on-site conditions where placed in event order to be able to analyze the collaborative aspect of the project. The assumption was that by living the day to day experience of working with an unknown group towards the same social goal, it would be possible to evaluate the common understanding of the goals by the actions taken. It relied on literature on creation of collaboration in order to create a controlled process, aided on topics such as common goal creation and group work collaboration. The combination of both methods provides this paper the content in which to base its organizational story; told with the intention to obtain answers to the question of why should a higher educational institution like TAMK allocate resources to study socially driven models like this one. A great deal of information has been gained by the author in the area of socially driven businesses and how their potential in today’s product and service market. As a result from this thesis, TCA, the customer, gained a great deal of knowledge about social business and more ways to use and channel the student creativity into a social focused project, as well as how to possibly expand in the near future

An API for IPv6 Multihoming based on HBA and CGA

EUNICE 2005. IFIP International Workshop on Networked Applications, Colmenarejo, Madrid/Spain, 6–8 July, 2005. (Proceedings of the 11th Open European Summer School EUNICE 2005: Networked Applications)This paper proposes an API for Multihoming in IPv6. This API is based on the Hash Based Addresses and Cryptographically Generated Addresses approaches, which are being developed by the IETF multi6 Working Group. The support of Multihoming implies several actions such as failure detection procedures, reachability tests, re-homing procedures and exchange of locators. Applications can benefit from transparent access to Multihoming services only if per host Multihoming parameters are defined. However, more benefits could be obtained by applications if they will be able to configure these parameters. The proposed Multihoming API provides different functions to applications which can modify some parameters and invoke some functions related with the Multihoming Layer.This work has been partly supported by the European Union under the E-Next Project FP6506869 and by OPTINET6 project TIC-2003-09042-C03-01
