An Efficient Cluster-Based Power Saving Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, efficient power saving scheme and corresponding algorithm must be developed and designed in order to provide reasonable energy consumption and to improve the network lifetime for wireless sensor network systems. The cluster-based technique is one of the approaches to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the authors propose a saving energy clustering algorithm to provide efficient energy consumption in such networks. The main idea of this paper is to reduce data transmission distance of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks by using the uniform cluster concepts.

IW Social Business

When AIIM started tracking Enterprise 2.0 in March 20081, only 13% of respondents felt their organization had any real understanding of what it was about. That report focused on the definition and scope of Web 2.0 technologies and how they might be used in a business environment. The world has moved on somewhat in the last three years.

We are more aware of the different demands of customer-facing, employee-facing and public Enterprise 2.02. The phrase "Systems-of-Engagement" was coined last year by Geoffrey Moore in his AIIM-sponsored study to differentiate communication-centric applications from more traditional transaction-centric applications or "Systems-of-Record". For this report, we are using the term "Social Business". This is a broad school, but most people understand or can guess at what it means - "business application of social technologies and applications". We are also in this report more focused on employee-facing or partner-facing applications.

Manage Social Content

The business application of social technologies, both within the enterprise, and with customers, suppliers and partners, has created a new paradigm of interaction and contribution, and is creating a new competitive edge for early adopters. The biggest organizations have been the first to see the benefits of improved collaboration, knowledge-sharing and team-innovation within a geographically dispersed workforce.

CMIS White Paper

Historically, organizations have struggled to find a common way in which they can effectively manage, access, and govern content applications across multiple systems. Today, it is still a challenge to make content application functionality portable across repositories. However, now more than ever, businesses are facing the overwhelming requirement to also manage the explosion of unstructured content. Unlike previous open-standards-based approaches, the Content Management Interoperability Standard (CMIS) has not only confronted this challenge, but also provides businesses with improved operational efficiencies.

2012 Endpoint Security Best Practices Survey

The Symantec 2012 Endpoint Security Best Practices Survey reveals that organizations employing best practices are enjoying dramatically better outcomes when it comes to endpoint protection, and many of these best practices can—and should—be leveraged by SMBs.

Rethinking Security for Virtualized Environments

For the most part, there are two approaches to virtualization security. One can focus on giving every server its own, individual security tools, or you can try to blanket your servers with an agentless, all seeing form of security. In this white paper, Rethinking Security for Virtualized Environments, you'll see how security is evolving to suit the needs of newer, virtualized servers.

• Discover the impact that virtualization has on security
• Learn about the different ways that businesses are approaching security for their virtualized environments
• Understand the steps you can take to secure your own servers

Free whitepaper: SF ROX: Investing in execution pays dividends

In the fall of 2008, when financial crisis was in every headline, closing the gap between strategy and execution was at the top of CEO agendas.
