AMHS (Air Traffic Services (ATS) Message Handling Services), as specified in the ICAO ATN (Aeronautical Telecommunications Network) SARPs, is the new standard for ground to ground messaging communications, which is being adopted rapidly and will eventually replace existing AFTN and CIDIN systems. The "ATS Message Service" is the end to end message service that AMHS provides. AMHS specifies the service, and the underlying infrastructure that is used in order to provide this service. To build a complete system, the ATS Message Service needs to be provided to end users, sitting at terminals. This paper looks at various approaches to doing this.

Rhythms of Social Interaction: Messaging Within a Massive Online Network 2006-11-14 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

This paper has analyzed the fully-anonymized headers of 362 million messages exchanged by 4.2 million users of Facebook, an online social network of college students, during a 26 month interval. The data reveal a number of strong daily and weekly regularities which provide insights into the time use of college students and their social lives, including seasonal variations. The paper also examined how factors such as school affiliation and informal online "Friend" list affect the observed behavior and temporal patterns. Finally, it shows that Facebook users appear to be clustered by school with respect to their temporal messaging patterns.

Privately Held Software Company Increases Instant Messaging Security, Productivity 2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft

SAS is the world's largest privately held software company. SAS employees found instant messaging to be a quicker, more informal way to communicate, and about a third began to use public instant messenger services. However, the communications were not secure, and sensitive company information was at risk of being sent out over the Internet. To address this problem, SAS chose an instant messaging solution based on Microsoft Office Live Communications Server and Microsoft Office Communicator 2005. Now, SAS has an easy-to-use, real-time collaboration environment that helps protect the exchange of sensitive company information. In addition, Communicator 2005 has provided SAS with additional functions that the public instant messenger services lacked, and which have boosted employee productivity.
