A Fresh Look at Small-Granularity Role-Based Access Control

Small-granularity role based access control offers an effective solution to reduce the damage an intrusion can cause to your organization. We describe a new dynamic activation of roles, with automatic de-activation if the role is no longer used. This allows us to further decrease the granularity of roles, and use the roles as input to an anomaly based Intrusion Detection System. To show how easy it can be to add Role-Based Access Control to an existing platform, we briefly discuss a simple implementation for a WWW based Intranet

Dynamic server selection in a multithreaded network computing environment

Research has been conducted at the Iowa State University Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) to create a structure in which existing numerical modeling programs can be converted to execute in a network computing environment. This research task is to include the development of an extensible architecture which accommodates the timely integration of new processing capabilities and requirements. The research was motivated by many needs within the CNDE to reduce the predicted run times associated with the current and future modeling programs

Analytical review of the library of the future

This is the report of a project supported by the Council on Library Resources. The four project objectives are: 1. To identify and retrieve published literature on the library of the future. 2. To formulate document surrogates for this literature and add them to a computerized database. 3. To generate an analytical bibliography of published library of the future literature. And 4. To synthesize literature in the bibliography with a thinkpiece on the library of the future.The Council on Library Resourceshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58006/1/Analytical_review_of_the_library_of_the_future.pd
