Comparing Interactive Information Retrieval Systems Across Sites: The TREC-6 Interactive Track Matrix Experiment
This is a case study in the design and analysis of a 9-site TREC-6 experiment aimed at comparing the performance of 12 interactive information retrieval (IR) systems on a shared problem: a question-answering task, 6 statements of information need, and a
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) refers to a class of security mechanisms that mediate access to resources through organizational identities called roles. A number of models have been published that formally describe the basic properties of RBAC. This
International Comparison of Noise-Temperature Measurements at 2, 4, and 12 GHz
We report results of a recent international comparison of thermal noise-power measurements, performed under the auspices of CIPM/CCE. The noise temperatures of two solid-state sources with GPC-7 connectors were measured at 2, 4, and 12 GHz. All results
Training for Information Technology Security: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Results-Based Learning
This bulletin discusses the techniques that organizations should use to measure the effectiveness of their IT security training programs and the extent to which the programs are useful to the organization and are wise expenditures of training resources
Handover and New Call Blocking Performance With Dynamic Single-Channel Assignment in Linear Cellular Arrays
We consider dynamic assignment of a single channel in a linear cellular array, and derive closed-form expressions for the blocking probability of handover calls and new calls in terms of the array size and traffic load assuming a Markov traffic model

A set of wafer probeable diode noise source transfer standards are characterized using on-wafer noise temperature methods developed recently at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper reviews the methods for accurate on-wafer
Replicated Architecture for Application Sharing in Desktop Conferencing Systems
Multimedia desktop conferencing systems are gaining momentum and increasingly becoming a reality. In these systems, besides using audio, video and multi-user applications like a white board, users can share a vast number of single-user applications for
Adapting to Bandwidth Variations in Wide-Area Data Combination
Efficient data combination over wide-area networks is hard as wide-area networks have large variations in available network bandwidth. In this paper, we examine the utility of changing the location of combination operators as a technique to adapt to
A Federal Public Key Infrastructure With Multiple Digital Signature Algorithms
Several digital algorithms are coming into general use. A certificate containing a key for one algorithm can be signed with a different algorithm. This paper discusses the interoperability issues where different digital signature algorithms are used in one
Information Technology Security Training Requirements: A Role- and Performance-Based Model
This document supersedes NIST 500-172, Computer Security Training Guidelines, published in 1989. The new document supports the Computer Security Act (Public Law 100-235) and OMB Circular A-130 Appendix III requirements that NIST develop and issue computer
