The aim of this paper is to consider whether critical rationalism has any ideas which could usefully be applied to the INTERNET.  Today we tend to take the INTERNET for granted and it is easy to forget that it was only about two decades ago that it began to be used to any significant extent. Accordingly in section 1 of the paper, there is a brief consideration of the history of the INTERNET.  At first sight this makes it looks implausible that any of Popper’s ideas could be applicable to the INTERNET, since Popper died before the INTERNET came into general use.  However, section 2 argues that Popper’s theory of World 3 does apply very well to the INTERNET.  This application is significant because, as shown in section 3, it leads to the problem of misinformation, which is one of the most significant problems generated by the INTERNET.  In section 4 there is an attempt to solve this problem using ideas taken from Popper’s epistemology. It is argued that there should be changes in education designed to prepare students for the INTERNET age. Teaching in the INTERNET age should focus on presenting to the students not just the accepted theories but also the evidence on which they are based. An illustration of how this might be done is given by considering an example from science teaching, namely the teaching of Newtonian mechanics in the last years of school or first years of university.

The INTERNET of Things is a growing and emerging technology made up millions of interconnected smart objects which use INTERNET as the platform for connecting to each other and transferring information in heterogeneous environments. The multiplicity of protocols, the amount of packets sent, the sensitivity of packets to latency and loss require the various levels of quality of SERVICEs. In order to be able to deliver quality of SERVICE effectively in heterogeneous environments, a centralized control module in the network is required. Software-defined networks with the ability to program and centralize the network can help us achieve this goal. By separating the data plane from the control plane, these networks provide us with mechanisms and facilities that increase the level of the QoS in the network. In this paper, we improve the quality of SERVICEs in Software-defined INTERNET of Things using a fuzzy multi-objective approach which is applied to the routing process based on fuzzy goal programming algorithm. The results of this study can be used in the development of models and frameworks to improve the quality of SERVICEs in the software defined-INTERNET of things networks. The proposed method has better conditions than competitive algorithms in terms of end-to-end delay, number of violated flows and activated links.

The supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision making which consist both qualities and quantities metrics. A lot of investigations have been published in the supplier selection area and, most of the proposed models focused on manufacturing environments and a few papers have been allocated for SERVICE industries. proposed system utilizes new method that transfer the house of quality (HOQ) approach typically of quality function deployment (QFD) problems to the supplier selection process also this model can rate both qualitative and quantitative criteria’s and select suitable suppliers effectively. Symmetrical fuzzy triangular numbers (STFNs) are used to capture the vagueness in people’s linguistics assessments and also in this model the weights of decision makers are different and this parameter is calculated by fuzzy inference system.
