whitepaper Architectural Considerations for Distributed RFID Tracking and Monitoring2009-08-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper discusses architectural challenges in designing a distributed, scalable system for RFID tracking and monitoring. The paper argues for the need to combine inference and query processing techniques into a single system and consider several architectural choices for building such a system. Key research challenges in designing the system include: the design of inference techniques that span multiple sites, distributed maintenance of inference and query state, sharing of inference and query state for scalability, and the use of writeable RFID tags to transfer state information as objects move through the supply chain. The paper also presents the status of the ongoing research and preliminary results from an early implementation.

whitepaper Energy-Efficient Implementation of ECDH Key Exchange for Wireless Sensor Networks2009-07-29 International Federation for Information Processing
  Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing a vital role in an ever-growing number of applications ranging from environmental surveillance over medical monitoring to home automation. Since WSNs are often deployed in unattended or even hostile environments, they can be subject to various malicious attacks, including the manipulation and capture of nodes. The establishment of a shared secret key between two or more individual nodes is one of the most important security services needed to guarantee the proper functioning of a sensor network. Despite some recent advances in this field, the efficient implementation of cryptographic key establishment for WSNs remains a challenge due to the resource constraints of small sensor nodes such as the MICAz mote.

whitepaper Secure Information and Manage Endpoints With 24x7 Monitoring and Management2009-07-28 Symantec
  Due to the growing threats and the challenge presented by limited resources, there is an increasing desire to partner with a service provider for the deployment and management of endpoint protection solutions. In fact, a recent Managed Security in the Enterprise report stated a majority (61 percent) of those surveyed are embracing managed security services for some or all of their IT security needs with two thirds reporting they are understaffed. To provide relief for IT departments in the face of increasing threats and staffing challenges, Symantec is offering Symantec Managed Endpoint Protection Services, which are composed of deployment, management, and 24x7 monitoring for endpoint protection technologies.

whitepaper The Emerging Optical Control Plane2009-07-16 Fujitsu
  Traditional transport networks can be modeled as the interaction of two operating planes: a transport plane and a management plane. In this model, the transport plane carries the user data and comprises network equipment, such as line interface cards, switch fabrics, backplanes and fiber plant. Network OAM&P is fully handled by the management plane, implemented by an EMS, NMS, and/or OSS. Now, it's beginning to see the deployment of optical control planes that sit between the management and transport planes. The control plane moves some of the network intelligence down to the NEs. As a result, the NEs have access to complete network topology and resource information, and can use this to plan, establish and maintain user services.

whitepaper Power Monitoring Supervisory, connectivity and protection options that add an umbrella of protection over your entire IT infrastructure2009-07-11 Eaton
  Monitoring options are now available for organizations of any size. You can remotely monitor and manage a single uninterpretable power system (UPS), an enterprise-wide network of many UPSs and power distribution devices, or a complete IT support infrastructure, including generators, environmental systems and detection devices, and other components from multiple vendors.

This white paper discusses the imperatives of intelligent power monitoring.
