Islamic sim Mobip 2012 ThessalonikiYiannis HatzopoulosThe document discusses developing an Islamic SIM card application that would provide features useful for Muslims, such as notifying users of prayer times and banning incoming calls during prayers. It proposes a business model where the SIM application would be preinstalled at factories and generate revenue from royalties on SIM sales and small user fees shared with mobile operators and SIM vendors. The creator is seeking investment to conduct a pilot with a mobile operator and further develop the application, management team, support, and market reach. He provides contact information for interested parties to learn more.

Islamic SIM pitching slides 2009Yiannis HatzopoulosThe document discusses an opportunity to introduce Islamic functions into entry-level mobile phones through a SIM card. The SIM card would provide features like a Mecca compass, prayer notifications, an Islamic calendar, and the ability to ban incoming calls during prayer times. It notes that there are over 1.5 billion Muslims across many countries and languages, and over 800 million mobile phones, suggesting a large potential market. The SIM card solution could deliver value and benefits to customers through religious-focused features and also provide a marketing tool for mobile operators.
Islamic sim to be showcased in AfricaYiannis HatzopoulosAn Islamic SIM card that provides religious functions like tracking the direction of Mecca and prayer times will be showcased in Africa. The Islamic SIM Service was developed by a Greek engineer to enable any basic mobile phone to access Islamic features by swapping SIM cards. It targets the billion users in Africa and Asia with older phones not compatible with apps. The functions aim to meet religious needs affordably where networks don't support smartphones. The developer hopes mobile operators will distribute the SIM in Africa and other regions.

Facebook SIM GeotrackerYiannis HatzopoulosThis document proposes a Facebook-connected SIM card that provides real-time location tracking through cellular networks without requiring GPS, WiFi, or data plans. This would allow users to track friends and send emergency alerts while preserving battery life. The document outlines two marketing options: 1) A Facebook-integrated SIM tracker that shares location with Facebook friends. 2) A web-based SIM tracker that sends location via SMS or a web map. It argues this could generate advertising revenue for Facebook and MNOs while expanding into spin-off services like pilgrimage tracking or personal trackers.

thesisAddie EvansThis thesis examines the use of phylogenetic invariants and inequalities to infer small phylogenetic trees from genetic data. The author tests the effectiveness of these algebraic statistics methods over a broad range of simulated data for trees with 3 to 5 taxa. Additionally, the author analyzes real genetic data from 3 and 4 taxa to evaluate the performance of phylogenetic invariants and inequalities. Key results include an analysis of how performance varies with the number of genetic sites, branch lengths, and evolutionary models. This research helps establish the utility of algebraic statistics approaches for phylogenetic tree inference.

Chapter5_PlatformUsersGuideJames D. HowesThis document provides instructions for configuring high availability (HA) with Platform Manager. It discusses setting up HA for both gateways and the Platform Manager Server. For gateways, the process involves defining primary and secondary nodes, creating an HA group, adding floating IP addresses, configuring heartbeat channels, installing software on the secondary, and more. For the Platform Manager Server, a similar process is outlined that additionally requires enabling power control, moving services and storage to shared disks, and configuring the secondary server. The document emphasizes key steps and requirements for ensuring HA functions properly during failures.

Islamic SIM application serverYiannis HatzopoulosThis document provides an overview of the architecture and components of the Islamic SIM Card Application Server (ISCAS). The key components include a Linux OS, PostgreSQL or MySQL database, Apache Tomcat web server, and multiple Islamic SIM Card application boxes (ISCBOX) which handle request processing. The components are modular and can be distributed across physical or virtual servers for scalability. User requests from mobile phones are processed by first passing through the SMSC to the Tomcat server and then delegated to an available ISCBOX for execution. The document discusses sample configurations, licensing, and management of the system components.
