Data Acquisition From Cell Phone Using Logical Approach 2007-12-01 World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology

Cell phone forensics to acquire and analyze data in the cellular phone is nowadays being used in a national investigation organization and a private company. In order to collect cellular phone flash memory data, they have two methods. Firstly, it is a logical method which acquires files and directories from the file system of the cell phone flash memory. Secondly, they can get all data from bit-by-bit copy of entire physical memory using a low level access method. This paper describes a forensic tool to acquire cell phone flash memory data using a logical level approach. By the tool, they can get EFS file system and peek memory data with an arbitrary region from Korea CDMA cell phone.

Optimizing Branch Office Security and Productivity in the Financial Services Sector 2007-12-01 Microsoft

This white paper examines the problems that financial services sector companies face when attempting to provide secure and efficient data access to branch offices. It also provides solutions based on the features and capabilities included with ISA Server 2006, Whale IAG 2007 and Windows Server 2003 R2. This paper specifically examines how to prevent security issues at branch offices from impacting main-office security, and how to reduce cost and operational inefficiencies inherent in distributed computing environments.

Draw Flowcharts With Word and PowerPoint 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

For someone who needs to draw a diagram, such as a flowchart, but is not sure if he or she should use Word or PowerPoint, this paper is useful. Word is a word-processing program that includes drawing tools, whereas PowerPoint is geared toward slide presentations and drawing. Both are easy to use, but which is better? This paper explains how Andy and Stacey use each program to draw a flowchart.

How the Non-Profit Industry Embraces Business Intelligence to Add Value to Memberships While Keeping a Lid on Operating Costs 2007-11-15 Intelligent Solutions

Advocacy, education, research, networking - a membership association's value proposition hinges on its ability to provide intelligence to its members. This task is becoming more difficult as associations increasingly find themselves in a marketplace where diminishing dues revenue and decreased "Volunteerism" are commonplace, and where for-profit organizations increasingly compete for member time, talent and money. Throw in limited budget, small IT staff, and un-integrated information systems, and the challenge is compounded. Daunting as it seems, leading associations are nonetheless continuing to deliver value to their members, even when the definition of "Value" is a moving target. How are these organizations achieving success?

Enterprise Performance Management: Connecting the Dots 2007-11-01 Oracle

An Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) system brings the management processes under a single umbrella, connecting financial and operational decisions and activities with transactional systems to form a comprehensive management picture. This paper demonstrates how an EPM system connects people and processes, metrics, businesses, and systems. It introduces important criteria for successful design and implementation while also exploring the far-reaching benefits of EPM: improved decision-making and greater competitive advantage.

Effective Visualization Technique for Business Intelligence (BI): Clickable Mock-Ups 2007-11-01 Infosys Technologies

Effective Business Intelligence (BI) can help companies gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting their business, enabling them to make informed business decisions for the competitive edge. In order to achieve this, organizations use BI applications or technologies to analyze information from external and internal sources. This information can help companies get better understanding of changing trends in the market, customer behavior and spending patterns, empowering managers to make informed business decisions for better results. This paper examines why this happens and shows how visual representation of requirements using clickable mock-ups can provide an effective way to overcome the problem.

Neuro Genetic-Nearest Neighbor Based Data Mining Techniques for Fingerprint Classification and Recognition System 2007-11-01 Yahoo

The proposed fingerprint classification using Data Mining technique, Neuro Genetic-Nearest Neighbor based recognition, overcomes low recognition rate, low accuracy, increased time of recovery and improves the classification rate. The proposed method involves various stages like image enhancement, line detector based feature extraction and neural network classification using Learning Vector Quantization and Kohonen networks. Optimization of the neural parameters and recognition of images are done using Genetic algorithm based K Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The system is trained and tested on Fingerprint Database obtained from university of Bologna Italy, which consists of 900 samples.
