TechNet Webcast: Maximizing Visio Pivot Diagrams to Visualize Hierarchal IT Data (Level 200)
The presenter of this webcast introduces to the power of Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Pivot Diagrams. Pivot Diagrams are designed to visualize data in external Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office Access, and Microsoft Office Excel. In a manner similar to Excel PivotTables, but with far greater ease, Visio Pivot Diagrams help IT organizations understand the structure of the data that they rely upon on a daily basis.

Botnets, networks of compromised machines remotely controlled and instructed to work in a coordinated fashion, have had an epidemic diffusion over the Internet and represent one of today's most insidious threat. This paper presents an open framework called Dorothy that permits to monitor the activity of a botnet. The paper proposes to characterize a botnet behavior through a set of parameters and a graphical representation. In a case study, one infiltrated and monitored a botnet named siwa collecting information about its functional structure, geographical distribution, communication mechanisms, command language and operations.

Organizations world-wide are adopting wireless networks at an impressive rate, and a new industry has sprung up to provide tools to manage these networks. Unfortunately, these tools do not integrate cleanly with traditional wired network management tools, leading to unsolved problems and frustration among the IT staff. The paper explores the problem of unifying wireless and wired network management and shows that simple merging of tools and strategies, and/or their trivial extension from one domain to another does not work. Building on previous research on network service dependency extraction, fault diagnosis, and wireless network management, the paper introduces MnM, an end-to-end network management system that unifies wired and wireless network management. MnM treats the physical location of end devices as a core component of its management strategy.

The strength of the information hiding science is due to the non-existence of standard algorithms to be used in hiding secret messages. Also there is randomness in hiding methods such as combining several media (covers) with different methods to pass a secret message. In addition, there are no formal methods to be followed to discover the hidden data. For this reason, the task of this paper becomes difficult. In this paper a new method is implementing to hide a file of unused area 2 within .EXE file and to detect the hidden file.

National Center for Health Care Informatics wanted to demonstrate that the HP-PDSG solution could enable health information exchange among disparate data sets quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. Source data was collected from four geographically dispersed Montana hospitals and fed through the HP-PDSG solution into the syndromic surveillance system at the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). The PDSG software, which complies with all relevant data-sharing and technology standards, normalized the data into the required format for the DPHHS system.
