Architecture Tip: User Interface Design Using the OODA Loop - A Checklist for Getting Your User Interface Design Off to the Right Start | 2008-03-12 | IBM |
| The OODA loop was developed by the Air Force as part of its study of air combat. This Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) cycle models the human brain's decision-making process. This paper explains how UI architects can use the ideas of the OODA loop to design User Interfaces (UIs) that give users better situational awareness and are more intuitive to use. In this paper, learn the basics of the OODA loop, and find out how it can be applied to UI design. The end of this paper features a checklist one can use to help with the initial design of the UI.

Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager Harnesses Network Intelligence to Increase Availability | 2007-12-24 | Cisco Systems |
| Organizations are increasingly reliant on advanced information systems to build products, serve customers, and achieve goals. IT departments are under pressure to ensure continuous access and Cisco customers frequently cite the availability of critical systems as a high priority. Because today's systems, data stores, and user communities are often highly distributed, combining effective network management with a resilient network increases the availability of critical systems. The Cisco IOS Software Infrastructure provides a method of triggering pre-programmed local actions upon detection of specific events. Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager harnesses network intelligence through event detectors and takes action according to pre-defined policies, resulting in increased manageability, control, and resiliency.

Viability of File Access and Transfer Via Virtual Private Network | 2007-07-01 | Mapua Institute of Technology |
| File transfer using an internet connection is the most commonly used because of its availability and because not many people know that file transfer can also be done without an internet connection. Dialup connection can also be used in transferring files to a remote computer through terminal emulators. One of the widely known terminal emulator is the HyperTerminal. Terminal emulators like HyperTerminal connects two computers using a telephone line and a modem and also allows file transfer without an internet service provider. The only problem is that terminal emulators are usually text-based. There is no user friendly interface and commands are executed by manual typing of codes.

Improved Hybrid Intelligent Intrusion Detection/Prevention System Using AI Technique. | 2007-05-30 | Universiti Teknologi Malaysia |
| Intrusion Detection Systems are increasingly a key part of systems defense. Various approaches to Intrusion Detection are currently being used, but they are relatively ineffective. Artificial Intelligence plays a driving role in security services. This paper proposes a dynamic model Intelligent Intrusion Detection System, based on specific AI approach for intrusion detection. The techniques that are being investigated include fuzzy logic with network profiling, which uses simple data mining techniques to process the network data. The proposed hybrid system combines anomaly and misuse detection. Simple fuzzy rules, allow to construct if-then rules that reflect common ways of describing security attacks. DARPA dataset is used for training and benchmarking.

Devices of the Soul: Can Technology Make the Handicapped Whole? | 2007-04-01 | O'Reilly Media |
| If, along the passage to a tolerable, technology-permeated future, there lies a single narrow stretch where one will have to sweat drops of blood in order to stay the course, surely it will be that stretch peopled by "The handicapped." Here is where, no matter how radical or uncertain or dangerous a technology promises to be for society at large, one will be overwhelmingly tempted by the own generous impulses to grant exceptions for the disabled. And, from retinal or cochlear implants to machine-harnessed brain waves to wholesale fiddling with the nervous system, this is probably enough of a beachhead to bring the technology into general use. Who could deny any possible technical assist to the tragic victims of a major functional deficit?. | |||

Concept Mapping for Concept Engineering | 2006-12-23 01:00:24 | Personal Memory Manager |
| In task performance support, but especially during learning tasks, reality is first discovered through perception. Perceptual elements (notes), bearing reality's richness, do not recognize this fact until concepts shed some light upon them. This is possible because concepts substantiate their meaning by relating the memorized perceptual elements. Still, however, the person should ascribe an element to a concept or allow a concept to accommodate it. The element thus inherits meanings from contexts produced by different concepts. This paper describes the role of conceptual representations in one's learning from prior knowledge, intuition and conceptual awareness. | |||

Boxing Clever: How new technology can play a key role in fighting the global counterfeiting boom | 2006-10-18 01:00:18 | Envisional |
| The Internet's reach and anonymity have played a big part in the 100-fold growth of counterfeiting since the 1980s. The web provides a shop window on the world, yet it's impossible to police. Now intelligent automated monitoring technologies are starting to offer powerful online solutions to this rampant online problem. |
