Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ) for SQL ie LINQ to SQL Introduction: This article is about LINQ (Language Integrated Query) which is one of the most entertaining concept and feature in .NET programming. LINQ makes the querying of data a unique programming concept in .NET. Querying of data can be taken from XML (LINQ to XML), database (LINQ enabled ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Dataset, LINQ to Entities) and Object (LINQ to Objects).

The problems I noticed with their development were their efforts to diversify from core competencies and their organization structure that was central-based and did not highly promote worldwide learning from experiences
software is not reliable as the manufacturers demand. Sometimes the buyers of these software become victim of hackers. For example, Fa-cebook is created using PHP, and it is proven that it has lower security aspects than .NET framework. However, my proposed system will be developed by .NET frame-work which has own security mechanism such as Code Access Security (CAS).Moreover, it uses AppDomains for separating codes that will add an outstand-ing security of the system [13]. 3. Bandwidth: It is one of

This paper focuses on the use of Petri nets to model traffic signals at intersections. An eight-phase traffic signal controller is illustrated in this paper. Also, structural analysis of the control Petri net is performed to show that it endorses traffic safety. It also discusses how this tool can be used with more advanced technologies in the future. The following paper will review the G.F. List, and M. Cetin, Modeling Traffic Signal Control Using Petri Nets, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation
