You want to save these new IPSec policies,but do not want to keep them on the server. Which of the following actions would be appropriate to help you? A. Export the IPSec policies to file and delete them from the IP Security Policies node B. Do not refresh the IPSec policy list until you decide to use these policies C. Copy the IPSec policies to a floppy disk anddelete them D. It is not possible to reuse deleted IPSec policies A. Export the IPSec policies to a file and delete them from the IP Security Policies node. IPSec policies can be exported to a file. These policies can be exported to a file. These policies can also be imported when required. In the given situation,it would be best to export the IP Security policies and then import them again if needed. When the export is complete,you can delete the IPSec policies that you do not want to keep. B is incorrect because not refreshing the list of IPSec policies will not prevent them from being effective. C is incorrect because IPsec policies cannot be copied. D is incorrect because it is possible to reuse the IPSec policies after importing them. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

A Polylogarithmic Approximation of the Minimum Bisection
Authors: Uriel Feige, Robert Krauthgamer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

A bisection of a graph with n vertices is a partition of its vertices into two sets, each of size n/2. The bisection cost is the number of edges connecting the two sets. It is known that finding a bisection of minimum cost is NP-hard. We present an algorithm that finds a bisection whose cost is within ratio of O(log2 n) from the minimum. For graphs excluding any fixed graph as a minor (e.g., planar graphs) we obtain an improved approximation ratio of O(log n). The previously known approximation ratio for bisection was roughly $\sqrt{n}$.

Facets of the Weak Order Polytope Derived from the Induced Partition Projection
Authors: Jean-Paul Doignon, Samuel Fiorini
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

The weak order polytopes are studied in Gurgel and Wakabayashi [ Discrete Math., 175 (1997), pp. 163--172], Gurgel and Wakabayashi [The Complete Pre-Order Polytope: Facets and Separation Problem, manuscript, 1996], and Fiorini and Fishburn [Weak order polytopes, submitted]. We make use of their natural, affine projection onto the partition polytopes to determine several new families of facets for them. It turns out that not all facets of partition polytopes are lifted into facets of weak order polytopes. We settle the cases of all facet-defining inequalities established for partition polytopes by Grötschel and Wakabayashi [Math. Programming, 47 (1990), pp. 367--387]. Our method, although rather simple, allows us to establish general families of facets which contain two particular cases previously requiring long proofs.
A Distributed Parallel Programming Framework
Authors: N. Stankovic, K. Zhang
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

This paper presents Visper, a novel object-oriented framework that identifies and enhances common services and programming primitives, and implements a generic set of classes applicable to multiple programming models in a distributed environment. Groups of objects, which can be programmed in a uniform and transparent manner, and agent-based distributed system management, are also featured in Visper. A prototype system is designed and implemented in Java, with a number of visual utilities that facilitate program development and portability. As a use case, Visper integrates parallel programming in an MPI-like message-passing paradigm at a high level with services such as checkpointing and fault tolerance at a lower level. The paper reports a range of performance evaluation on the prototype and compares it to related works.

Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy, 1st edition
Authors: Stan Davis, Christopher Meyer
Venue:  (1998)

:Welcome to the new economy - a world where the rate of change is so fast it's only a blur, where the clear lines distinguishing buyer from seller, product from service, employee from entrepreneur are disappearing. To profit from these revolutionary patterns of business, you need a dynamic guide to the new economy. You need BLUR. In this book, Stan Davis and Chris Meyer deliver more than a guided tour to these momentous shifts. They offer readers a working model to illustrate and benefit from the new rules of the connected economy, where advantage is temporary and nothing is fixed in time or space. Showcasing the practices of dozens of enterprises exploring the new frontiers of business - from Amazon.com to DreamWorks SKG to MBNA America - Davis and Meyer build a new framework for delivering and capturing value, evaluating success, developing strategy, and managing organizations in an economic world no longer determined by static measures of supply and demand. BLUR provides a lens for bringing the emerging economic landscape into focus - a world in which change is constant; knowledge and imagination are more valuable than physical capital; products and services are blended as "offers"; transactions give way to "exchanges"; and physical markets take on the characteristics of financial markets. This world rewards those who buck convention, like MCI, which has reorganized every six months to release creativity, or David Bowie, who has sold options on his future earnings as an artist. Adaptability is paramount, as more companies build permeable networks of business relationships with suppliers, distributors, employees, and even competitors, and individuals become "free agents," contracting their services to the highest bidders. BLUR challenges you to question every assumption you hold about how business is conducted, and encourages you to experiment at the edges of business. BLUR outlines nothing less than a revolution in business and consumer culture. Will you watc
