Because of globalization, multinational firms tend to setup branches across nations for different functions, such as manufacturing lines in China, logistics in Asia, sales points in Europe etc. In order to communicate among each other, the industry has to adopt the same communication platform, use the same terms, and speak the same ldquolanguagerdquo. Therefore, in recent years, a new standardized computer language, eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), has been developing enhancing different organizations exchanging their financial data without re-enter them. XBRL is a relatively new technology. The research about XBRL instance transformation algorithm is not found yet. In this paper, we developed an algorithm to transform these data into XBRL-compliance format, so that we can take the advantages of XBRL. Our algorithm is named XBRL Transformer (XT). It includes two main modules, XT-Source2XML and XT-XML2XBRL. XT Source2XML transforms a source file, such as MS-Excel, Lotus 123, MS-Word, MS-Access, etc., to a corresponding XML file, and then it outputs the corresponding XML to the second tier, XT-XML2XBRL. After XT-XML2XBRL receives an XML file, it will transform it to XBRL instance file.

Micro-HIP A HIP-based Micro-Mobility Solution

19 May 2008 – Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshops

Smooth, seamless and secure handover for mobile nodes in heterogeneous wireless IP networks is the target of future mobility management. Complete mobile management solutions involve not only the physical and data link layers, but also the network layer and above. Mobility management can be classified into two categories, macro-mobility management and micro-mobility management. The former handles the movement of a node between any two IP addresses and the latter focuses on the handover between different access points under the same domain. Mobile IP is a widely discussed macro-mobility management protocol in the network layer. HIP is a newly proposed protocol and has been shown to outperform Mobile IP in handover efficiency. Most of the proposed micro-mobility management solutions are Mobile IP-based. There are some HIP-based micro-mobility management solutions in recent publications. However, the HIP-based proposals so far do not cover all aspects of micro-mobility management. In this paper, we have presented a complete HIP-based micro-mobility management solution, which is smoother and more efficient than any other schemes in pre-session and mid-session mobility handling.

Secure Mobile IP with HIP Style Handshaking and Readdressing

13 Mar 2006 – Proceeding of AusWireless06, Sydney, Australia

Mobile IP allows the mobile node roaming into a new IP network without losing its connection with its peer. Mobile IPv6 is using Mobile IP with Route Optimization to improve performance by avoiding the triangle routing and adopting Return Routability as a secure process for binding update. Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is an experimental security protocol which provides mobility
management and multi-homing by its new namespace. Its architecture is similar to that of Mobile IP with Route Optimization. In this paper, we have introduced a Secure Mobile IP with HIP Style Handshaking and Readdressing (SMIP), which has stronger security, better performance
and lower binding cost in binding update process compared with Mobile IPv6. The dependence of home agent in the new scheme is also shown dramatically decreased. The initiated scheme integrated the primary features of two completely different mobility management
solutions and has set up a migration path from mobile-IP based solution to a public-key based solution in mobile IP networks.

Hybrid SIP-HIP (SHIP) Mobility Management Scheme for heterogeneous wireless IP-based network

2006 – International Journal of Computer & Information Science (IJCIS), Vol 7 No 1-4 (Special)

In future wireless communication networks such as 4G, different wireless technologies and architectures will coexist. In these heterogeneous network environments, mobility management is a critical issue. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a widely discussed protocol, which is used for signaling and mobility management, especially in a Voice over IP (VoIP) environment. However, its mobility management is restricted to SIP sessions only. To provide a full mobility management for services in future wireless IP networks, SIP can be combined with other protocols. In this paper, a new mobility management scheme based on Host Identity Protocol (HIP) and SIP is proposed. The hybrid SIP and HIP (SHIP) scheme is for all services. SHIP has better performance in handover signaling than SIP. Its signaling overhead is smaller and the signaling delay is much shorter. SHIP has been shown to outperform hybrid SIP and Mobile IP, a widely discussed mobility management scheme, in a number of areas. Heterogeneous networks can be benefited by applying SHIP. A SHIP aware UMTS/WLAN integrated network is presented as an application example.

Secure Mobile IP with HIP Style Handshaking and Readdressing for public-key based IP network

2006 – African Journal of Information & Communication Technology, Vol 2 No 3

Mobile IP allows a mobile node to roam into a foreign IP network without losing its connection with its peer. Mobile IPv6 uses Route Optimization to improve the routing performance by avoiding the triangle routing problem and adopting Return Routability as a secure process for binding update. Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is an experimental security protocol which provides mobility management and multi-homing with new namespace. HIP has a similar architecture to the Mobile IP with Route Optimization. In this paper, we introduce a Secure Mobile IP with HIP Style Handshaking and Readdressing (SMIP), which provides stronger security, better performance and lower binding cost than Mobile IPv6 does in binding update process. The dependency of the home agent in the new scheme is dramatically decreased. The initiated scheme integrates the primary features of two completely different mobility management solutions and sets up a migration path from mobile-IP based solution to a public-key based solution in mobile IP networks.
