Jeremy Bentham’s panoptic prison design and its underlying implications, with Michel Foucault’s interpretation, turned into a new concept that refers to controlling power. Now, the panopticon is used as a synonym of surveillance. The analogy of the panopticon is often used to imply the problems of surveillance and its ethical implications in social media. This thesis aims to research how the panoptic prison has changed and transformed 21st century information technologies by analyzing people’s behaviors and attitudes in social media channels and argues that computer ethics is an important subject matter to understand the unforeseen impact of Information Technologies on individuals and society.

Priority based multi-constrained quality of service routing in military applications
Araz, Bora; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2005)
This thesis proposes a new algorithm for multi-constrained Quality of Service Optimal Path Routing in the context of military applications. The objective of our routing algorithm is to manage network traffic according to quality of service requirements of connection requests using military metrics. The algorithm is mainly based on communication priority. The QoS metrics such as bandwidth, delay and packet loss ratio are considered as basic metrics on path finding. If there is no suitable path for the reques...
