Defense Horizons No. 26 Deepwater is critical to ensuring the Coast Guard has the capabilities it needs to stop threats to our homeland before they arrive and the effective response capability to deal with maritime security needs. The Department would merge under one roof the capability to identify and assess current and future threats to the homeland, map those threats against our current vulnerabilities, issue timely warnings and immediately take or effect appropriate preventive and protective action. Rather than being captured by a single-user community, the new management approach allows one to take a big-picture approach to how capabilities might be provided to meet evolving challenges best. www.ndu.edu /inss/DefHor/DH26/DH_26.htm   (7329 words)

Fluency Buys SRC, Gains Hosted Speech Service Capability Consider a "try before you buy” approach when evaluating speech-based solutions for call centers, but recognize that substantial work and investment may be required to tailor the solution to the needs of your business and your callers. This approach can reduce the cost of deploying speech technology in call centers. Multiple call centers are operating as a virtual call center, and some speech-based routing is required in the network to route calls to the appropriate location. www.gartner.com /DisplayDocument?doc_cd=122130   (617 words)

Capabilities for Major Regional Conflicts Nonetheless, leveraging the capabilities of allies is often a sensible and cost-effective approach. South Korea should be capable of defending itself against a North Korean attack, although an attack with weapons of mass destruction might cause a great deal of chaos and trouble, and Seoul is extremely exposed. Capabilities of forces and weapons (not only the nominal effectiveness of the various divisions, wings, and battle groups, down to the level of particular weapons, but also their real-world in-war capabilities, which might prove quite different) www.rand.org /personal/pdavis/chapters/MR826.ch6.html   (9155 words)

NATO On-line library: Briefing: Improving capabilities to meet new threats NATO adopted a three-pronged approach to improving its defence capabilities: launching of the Prague Capabilities Commitment (PCC), creation of the NATO Response Force (NRF) and streamlining of the military command structure. NATO members are improving their capabilities in these eight areas nationally and multinationally. The Defence Capabilities Initiative was succeeded by a new, more focused initiative at the November 2002 Prague Summit. www.nato.int /docu/briefing/capabilities/html_en/capabilities05.html   (198 words)

614_final.doc Based on the merits of capability approach and the intimacy between a capability system and Java object oriented structure, J-Kernel uses capability as the basic abstraction. Since capabilities can be passed around without mediation of the system, whenever you trust a domain to use the capability, you must also trust it to pass the capability. A capability of class Foo to be given to class Boo is simply a reference to an interface object which groups all the methods Foo allows Boo to invoke. www.cs.cornell.edu /yuzhang/614_final.doc   (7332 words)

Guardian Unlimited Guardian daily comment Creativity cannot be hurried For years after I left the convent where I had spent seven years as a young nun, Christian doctrines seemed self-evidently absurd, because I did not approach them with negative capability but with the same logical, discursive reflection that I employed in some of my secular studies. Keats called it negative capability, "when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason". In a slower, quieter time, negative capability probably came more naturally, but we may have to make a special effort to cultivate what Wordsworth called "wise passiveness". www.guardian.co.uk /comment/story/0,3604,1202245,00.html   (1203 words)

Network Enabled Capability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia NEC is related to the Australian concept of Ubiquitous command and control (UC2), which includes not only network enabled capability, but network enabled intent, and network enabled awareness. Network Enabled Capability, or NEC, is the name given to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence intent to achieve enhanced military effect through the better use of information systems towards the goal of "right information, right place, right time - and not too much". It will be some years until the communications systems, information systems, operational procedures and knowledge will come together into this improved approach to UK military operations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Network_Enabled_Capability   (272 words)

CC News: Online Collaboration Utilizing outbound call center technologies to communicate with patients, disease management programs take a proactive approach to supporting chronic care patients by frequently, sometimes daily, contacting the patient to ensure they are following their treatment protocol or to detect changes in their conditions. A virtual call center of at-home nurses or call center nurses at other Intellicare installations form the outsouring capability. "Virtual call centers, in which staff and functions are geographically distributed but which operate and are managed as if they are a single operation, will become more widely used to decrease call center costs and to deal with the shortage of skilled personnel in certain labor markets," says Mitretek's Bernett. www.ccnews.com /november2001/depts/vm/vmstory1.htm   (1430 words)

Intel, AMD Call for Innovation on Virtual Platforms Virtualization is among a number of technologies that Intel is embedding into its processors as it focuses more on a platform approach to its products. Virtualization decouples the operating system from the hardware, letting users run multiple operating systems on individual servers or pool multiple systems into a single virtualized pool, leading to greater flexibility in how IT resources are used. With the new technologies promised in upcoming Intel and AMD processors, virtualization capabilities in the x86 and Itanium space will grow, officials at both companies said Wednesday. www.eweek.com /article2/0,1759,1772065,00.asp   (1141 words)

Computer Software Security Unless it is explicity assigned a capability to perform an action, an object (or group of objects) is literally incapable of performing that action, and in fact is incapable of attempting to perform the action. The heart of the approach is this: it is best to deal with the security properties of objects, or groups of objects, when they are still simple enough to be thoroughly understandable in a reasonable amount of time. Many computer security experts are unaware that there is even a theoretical "fix" for the problem, and are vehement in stating their certainty that computer security is inherently a race between the hole-exploiters and the hole-pluggers. discuss.foresight.org /~peterson/ComputerSecurity.html   (1141 words)

614_final.doc Based on the merits of capability approach and the intimacy between a capability system and Java object oriented structure, J-Kernel uses capability as the basic abstraction. The interposed code in a capability can be instrumented to query the principal (domain) invoking this capability, log this information with all other useful information of this invocation, e.g. A capability of class Foo to be given to class Boo is simply a reference to an interface object which groups all the methods Foo allows Boo to invoke. www.cs.cornell.edu /yuzhang/614_final.doc   (1141 words)

Cherubim: A Mobile Agent Based Security Architecture On the other hand, since our approach makes heavy use of Java to perform security authentication and access control we are investigating whether it is possible to identify certain libraries of code that can be optimized so that security tasks can be performed very efficiently. Static security behaviors bound to reference monitors are inherited or used as arguments in mobile security agents to bootstrap basic auditing provisions or enforce mandatory security provisions. Dynamic security architectures are required for mobile computing, to allow the frequent migration of computers in and out of security enclaves, and wide-area collaboration, to create dynamic sessions that stretch across organizational boundaries. srg.cs.uiuc.edu /Security/cherubim   (1141 words)

Methodology -- web-calculus A capability is an unforgeable pointer that both identifies and authorizes access to a resource. A client may only come to possess a capability by receiving the capability from another client, already in possession of the capability, or from the creator of the resource. A resource-centric design is also a powerful approach to development of scaleable and interoperable software. www.waterken.com /dev/Web/Methodology   (1141 words)

Fly my way: ATM's efficiency challenge: traffic management as a key differentiation for QOS and SLA guarantees So another approach is necessary-per virtual circuit accounting capability. Per virtual circuit accounting in ATM can be compared to an airline enforcing carry-on baggage limits when a flight is full and relaxing the limits when flights are lightly loaded. It does so by allocating per virtual circuit buffer and bandwidth space dynamically in response to real-time conditions by considering two factors: the number of cells buffered for each virtual circuit and the instantaneous number of cells buffered for the corresponding class of service (Figure 2). telephonyonline.com /mag/telecom_fly_atms_efficiency/index.html   (1725 words)
