In this study, the ideas of mascot design have…

The objective of this article is to highlight the existing relationship between the tourist’s destination brand image of the city of Rabat (Morocco) and its choice by foreign tourists to be visited once again. We suggest a reliable measurement scale able to measure the dimensions and associations of the brand image most memorized by tourists,…

Android Operating system (OS) has been used much more than all other mobile phone’s OS turning android OS to a major point of attack. Android Application installation serves as a major avenue through which attacks can be perpetrated. Permissions must be first granted by the users seeking to install these third-party applications. Some permissions can…

IoT integrates and connects intelligent devices or objects with varied architectures and resources. The number of IoT devices is growing exponentially. Due to the massive wave of IoT objects, their diversity and heterogeneity among their architectures, the existing communication protocols for wireless networks become ineffective in the context of IoT. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has…
