Mobile Personal Electrocardiogram Monitoring System With Patient Location

Publisher's description

The design of portable systems for remote monitoring of cardiac activity is one of the most important fields in telemedicine and telecare. A mobile monitoring system with low-cost hardware equipment will be described, together with wireless transmission utilizing Bluetooth for real-time ECG acquisition, measurement, archiving and visualization in both mobile phones and PCs. The mobile phone in turn analyzes and plots the received ECG signal using special application software. Modern smart phones are very capable of this kind of task thanks to their good transmission performance and processing capabilities. The system includes a location-based service (GPS module) to localize a patient in case of emergency.

TechNet Webcast: Voice Administration and Monitoring for Communications Server 2007 R2 (Level 300)

If one has deployed Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or are about to start the deployment, it is critical that one has the right monitoring and administration approach. The attendee of this webcast learns about the Microsoft Quality of Experience approach to voice quality monitoring and how one can incorporate this approach into one's deployment. This webcast covers the fundamentals of the various voice-related administration and monitoring capabilities within Communications Server 2007 R2. The paper discusses voice-related monitoring theory and practice, how to ensure the Communications Server deployments are set up for successful monitoring, and how to integrate Communications Server monitoring with other management products so that one can fix problems before they affect the users.

Nonprofit Improves Services, Expects to Save Up to £1 Million With Monitoring Software

Home Group provides low-cost housing and social services in the United Kingdom, and wants to minimize operational costs so it has more to invest in services. After years of organic growth, the organization's IT infrastructure had become fragmented and dysfunctional. Home Group pruned its server count, upgraded its management software, and replaced HP OpenView with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 for server monitoring. With the last move, Home Group has brought its Windows Server- and UNIX-based servers under a single monitoring console and given the IT staff better insight into problems, which increases the availability of applications. Home Group estimates that infrastructure monitoring efficiencies will save up to £1 million (around U.S.$1.6 million) and simplify compliance reporting.

Atica Corporation S.A. de C.V. Improves Budgetary Planning and Control for Petroleum Projects

Atica Corporation S.A. de C.V. wanted to automate budgetary administration, planning, and control for refinery engineering and construction projects, and wherever else Atica performs services on behalf of PEMEX and centralize up-to-date information on project planning and progress to meet delivery dates. The challenge was to provide online monitoring of construction project progress and refinery maintenance, as well as other PEMEX installations to reduce the number of in-person visits made by the project coordinator. Atica Corporation S.A. de C.V. worked with Oracle Partner Systec to implement Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, complying with PEMEX's requirements to automate procedures for planning and controlling engineering and construction projects.

Traficon Embeds Unlimited Scalability, Performance, and Agility Into Traffic Video Detection Systems

Traficon wanted to scale the Traffic Management System (TMS) software platform that collects data, events, alarms, and images generated by video cameras from 300 to 1,500 hardware units - to meet the needs of a capital city on one single system and increase TMS performance through enhanced event filtering, faster data retrieval, and optimized aggregation capabilities. The challenge was to minimize up-front development costs and technical resources and finalize upgrade, testing, and go live within nine months. Traficon implemented Oracle Coherence to scale TMS linearly and dynamically by capturing and storing real-time traffic data for rapid retrieval by monitoring teams.

Harvesting Collective Intelligence

When harvesting collective intelligence, a user wishes to maximize the accuracy and value of the acquired information without spending too much time collecting it. The author empirically studies how people behave when facing these conflicting objectives using data from Yahoo Answers, a community driven question-and-answer site. The paper takes two complementary approaches. The author first studies how users behave when trying to maximize the amount of the acquired information, while minimizing the waiting time. The paper identifies and quantifies how question authors at Yahoo Answers trade of the number of answers they receive and the cost of waiting.

SBotMiner: Large Scale Search Bot Detection

This paper studies search bot traffic from search engine query logs at a large scale. Although bots that generate search traffic aggressively can be easily detected, a large number of distributed, low rate search bots are difficult to identify and are often associated with malicious attacks. The paper presents SBotMiner, a system for automatically identifying stealthy, low-rate search bot traffic from query logs. Instead of detecting individual bots, the approach captures groups of distributed, coordinated search bots. Using sampled data from two different months, SBotMiner identifies over 123 million bot-related pageviews, accounting for 3.8% of total traffic. The in-depth analysis shows that a large fraction of the identified bot traffic may be associated with various malicious activities such as phishing attacks or vulnerability exploits.

Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud: Exploring Information Leakage in Third-Party Compute Clouds

Third-party cloud computing represents the promise of out-sourcing as applied to computation. Services, such as Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's EC2, allow users to instantiate Virtual Machines (VMs) on demand and thus purchase precisely the capacity they require when they require it. In turn, the use of virtualization allows third-party cloud providers to maximize the utilization of their sunken capital costs by multiplexing many customer VMs across a shared physical infrastructure.

Can They Hear Me Now?: A Security Analysis of Law Enforcement Wiretaps

This paper analyzes the security properties of these inter-faces. It demonstrates that the standard CALEA interfaces are vulnerable to a range of unilateral attacks by the intercept target. In particular, because of poor design choices in the interception architecture and protocols, experiments show it is practical for a CALEA-tapped target to over-whelm the link to law enforcement with spurious signaling messages without degrading her own traffic, effectively pre-venting call records as well as content from being monitored or recorded. It also identifies stop-gap mitigation strategies that partially mitigate some of identified attacks.

Using Identity Credential Usage Logs to Detect Anomalous Service Accesses

For e-commerce companies providing online services, fraudulent access resulting from theft of identity credentials is a serious concern. Such online service providers deploy a variety of defenses and invest significant time and effort to the analysis of a large amount of log data to detect malicious activities and their impact. To reduce this burden, one explores the effectiveness of an anomaly detection based approach that relies on identity credential usage log records. More specifically, one uses an anomaly-based metric to score the risk of each identity credential usage, e.g., a login request. Scores are determined based on categorical attribute values extracted from log records, such as timestamps. The paper utilizes actual log data of login attempts to a university portal to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach.

Cloud Security Is Not (Just) Virtualization Security

Cloud infrastructure commonly relies on virtualization. Customers provide their own VMs, and the cloud provider runs them often without knowledge of the guest OSes or their configurations. However, cloud customers also want effective and efficient security for their VMs. Cloud providers offering security-as-a-service based on VM introspection promise the best of both worlds: efficient centralization and effective protection. Since customers can move images from one cloud to another, an effective solution requires learning what guest OS runs in each VM and securing the guest OS without relying on the guest OS functionality or an initially secure guest VM state.
