whitepaper A Routing Protocol and Energy Efficient Techniques in Bluetooth Scatternets2005-08-09 03:00:02
  This paper proposes a protocol for routing in Bluetooth scatternets. The protocol uses the available battery power in the Bluetooth (BT) devices as a cost metric in choosing the routes. The paper evaluates the throughput performance as a function of packet arrival rate and number of piconets. A throughput of about 120 Kbps/piconet is shown to be achieved in a 5-piconet scatternet.   
whitepaper Collaborative Governance: The Role of Collaboration Technologies in Supporting the Homeland Security Mission of Justice and Public Safety Agencies2006-02-10 16:25:51
  The Homeland Security mission represents an extraordinarily complex challenge for justice and public safety agencies seeking to implement a national strategy for identifying, preventing and responding to potential threats.

Despite good intentions and a significant amount of effort to develop a joint federal, state and local approach to the mission, it has proven very difficult to reconcile the interests and perspectives of agencies at different levels of government. The challenges do not come about because there is a lack of goodwill or desire. But often there is misunderstanding about the different imperatives various types of agencies face in coordinating a proactive policy that optimizes resources to address crime in general -- and terrorism in particular. 		  
whitepaper Standard Life Delivers Improved Service With IBM2006-03-23 05:36:30
  Providers such as Standard Life Assurance Company, one of Europe's largest life and pensions companies, must respond to Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs) requests faster and more efficiently while also reducing costs. To handle IFA inquiries, Standard Life had a network of 40 local branches relying on Private Branch Exchange telephony (PBX). The technology was outdated and the company faced a critical decision: either update the existing PBX structure or undergo a significant upgrade to a converged data and telephony network. Standard Life decided to create a new virtual call centre by opting for a converged network to carry data, voice and other applications through an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Cisco Systems provided the core infrastructure, including Internet Protocol Contact Center.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Network Isolation Using Group Policy and IPSec (Part 2 of 3) (Level 300)2006-04-04 02:41:37 Microsoft
  This webcast shows how to use IPSec to create network isolation zones. Topics include the advantages and limitations of network isolation, where network isolation fits into a defense-in-depth scheme, and how to use group policies and Microsoft Active Directory groups to restrict access to specific servers.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Network Isolation Using Group Policy and IPsec (Part 1 of 3) (Level 300)2006-04-04 02:42:42
  Data Isolation: How can it make the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure safer, and how to use Group Policy and Internet Protocol security (IPsec) to implement it? This webcast shows how to implement data isolation in the organization using Group Policy and IPsec. The webcast provides an overview of the nature of Internet Protocol security. Through this webcast one can learn how IPsec can help manage the challenges to secure network communication and the various ways one can implement IPsec to achieve different types of secure communication.
