Cost-Efficient Routing with Controlled Node Mobility in Sensor Networks
In this paper, an energy-efficient strategy is proposed for tracking a moving target in a mobile sensor network. The energy expenditure of the sensors in the network is assumed to be due to communication, sensing and movement. First, the target area is
This document summarizes the major testability issues raised by the NCPDP SCRIPT Implementation Guide Version 10.6. The ELR Implementation Guide is intended as a means of testing and certifying Electronic Health System (EHRS) for Meaningful Use.
This document completes the review of the NCPDP SCRIPT standard by reporting on several aspects related to its suitability as a standard to support Meaningful Use, including: completeness, correctness and internal consistency of the standard, ease of

An Empirical Study of a Vulnerability Metric Aggregation Method
Quantifying security risk is an important and yet difficult task in enterprise network risk management, critical for proactive mission assurance. Even though metrics exist for individual vulnerabilities, there is currently no standard way of aggregating
The Reverberation Chamber's Unstirred Field: A Validation of the Image Theory Interpretation
Synthetic aperture measurements of a reverberation chamber's unstirred wireless channel are used to compare the observed power, time-of-arrival, and angle-of-arrival of unstirred multipath components to that predicted by ray/image theory for a rectangular
Guide for Security-Focused Configuration Management of Information Systems
The purpose of Special Publication 800-128, Guide for Security-Focused Configuration Management of Information Systems, is to provide guidelines for organizations responsible for managing and administering the security of federal information systems and
The NIST Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap Working Group has surveyed the existing standards landscape for security, portability, and interoperability standards/models/studies/use cases, etc., relevant to cloud computing. Using this available information
Security Risk Analysis of Enterprise Networks Using Probabilistic Attack Graphs
Today's information systems face sophisticated attackers who combine multiple vulnerabilities to penetrate networks with devastating impact. The overall security of an enterprise network cannot be determined by simply counting the number of vulnerabilities
Clock synchronization is becoming an increasingly important characteristic of modern wide area monitoring and control systems such as the power grid. It provides an opportunity to coordinate control actions and measurement instants across hundreds of miles
Billions of copies of apps for mobile devices have been purchased in recent years. With this growth, however, comes an increase in the spread of potentially dangerous security vulnerabilities. Because of an app's low cost and high proliferation, the threat
We argue for the deployment of sources of randomness on the Internet for promoting and enhancing electronic commerce. We describe, in rough detail, our planned implementation of such a source.
Predicting Failure in Complex Systems by Perturbing Markov Chain Models
In recent years, substantial research has been devoted to monitoring and predicting performance degradations in real-world complex systems within large entities such as nuclear power plants, electrical grids, and distributed computing systems. Special
O2 A-band line parameters to support atmospheric remote sensing. Part II: The rare isotopologues
Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was employed to measure over 100 transitions in the R-branch of the b1Σg+←X3Σg-(0,0) band for the rare O2 isotopologues. The use of 17O- and 18O-enriched mixtures allowed for line positions to be
