Next generation firewalls for dynamic coalitions
Get PDFFirewalls represent a critical security building block for networks as they monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on the enforcement of predetermined secu- rity rules, referred to as firewall rules. Firewalls are constantly being improved to enhance network security. From being a simple filtering device, firewall has been evolved to operate in conjunc- tion in intrusion detection and prevention systems. This paper reviews the existing firewall policies and assesses their application in highly dynamic networks such as coalitions networks. The paper also describe the need for the next-generation firewall policies and how the generative policy model can be leveraged
Edge Computing for Internet of Things
Get PDFThe Internet-of-Things is becoming an established technology, with devices being deployed in homes, workplaces, and public areas at an increasingly rapid rate. IoT devices are the core technology of smart-homes, smart-cities, intelligent transport systems, and promise to optimise travel, reduce energy usage and improve quality of life. With the IoT prevalence, the problem of how to manage the vast volumes of data, wide variety and type of data generated, and erratic generation patterns is becoming increasingly clear and challenging. This Special Issue focuses on solving this problem through the use of edge computing. Edge computing offers a solution to managing IoT data through the processing of IoT data close to the location where the data is being generated. Edge computing allows computation to be performed locally, thus reducing the volume of data that needs to be transmitted to remote data centres and Cloud storage. It also allows decisions to be made locally without having to wait for Cloud servers to respond
Teacher Perceptions on the Sustainability of Trauma-Informed Practices in a Delaware School
Get PDFThe purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore teacher perceptions about the sustainability of trauma-informed practices implementation in a secondary, public comprehensive school. For the purpose of this study, the researcher examined perceptions of 10 staff members who have knowledge of and experience with implanting trauma-informed practices into their school routine. The findings from this study can be used by teachers, support staff, school leaders, and district leaders to help sustain an institutional application and implementation of trauma-informed care in schools. The implication from this study suggests resources for school staff to successfully sustain trauma-informed care
CGIAR Research Program on Rice
Get PDFThis program, also known as GRiSP, is designed to increase rice productivity and value for the poor, and improve the sustainable management of water and other resources on which rice production depends. Through a single strategic plan and new alliance that involves more than 900 partners worldwide, GRiSP will deploy rice genetic diversity, while promoting simultaneous revolutions in rice agronomy, processing, and policy. The partnership will harness the genetic diversity of rice to improve productivity, quality, and health; accelerate development, delivery, and adoption of improved rice varieties; and extract more value from rice harvests through improved quality, processing, markets, and new products
