"Operational Patterns for Information Sharing" Abstract

The global distribution of work is pushing organizations to de-perimeterize their security boundaries so that information flow, the glue which holds this distribution of work together, can be facilitated among these collaborating entities and work domains.  At the same time, there are many opposing pressures to unfettered information flow, such as concerns over privacy and identity theft; protection of intellectual property, protection of trade or government secrets; and, protection from denial or misuse of information resources.  In the past and in most present instances, these concerns over privacy and sensitivity of information have led to several inefficiencies due to the deployment of stovepiped infrastructures in these operational environments.  Customers are forced to maintain separate infrastructures in order to isolate the information that may be classified or customer-sensitive.  The purpose of this session is to provide insight into cross-domain information-sharing patterns that can be applied to facilitate secure and efficient information exchanges across security boundaries.  The session will illustrate a number of current and emerging operational patterns for information sharing including multilevel security, trusted virtual domains, and federation.

Oakton High School Robotics Team Presenting at IEEE

 

OHS Robotics is a science and engineering club at Oakton High School which enables students to design, build, and operate robots to solve problems in order to promote interest in math, science, and engineering. To celebrate, guide, and teach students who show interest in these fields.

 Also known as Team 623, OHS Robotics represents Oakton High School of Vienna, Virginia in US FIRST's Robotics Competition.  Team 623 has fared well in five years of competition under the guidance of many adult volunteers.   Starting out five years ago as a small program of only a few members, mostly from the Oakton AP Physics class, Team 623 has grown exponentially.  OHS now has a program of over fifty members competing in the US FIRST's Competitions, thanks to the many wonderful adult volunteers who mentor the team in the mechanics of robotics and help keep the team organized; as well as sponsors, such as IEEE, who make OHS Robotics possible. 

 This year the members of Team 623 (better known as the Ohmies) worked from early January on their robot, the Ohmwrecker, to compete in this year's US FIRST Regional Competition at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.   Representatives of the OHS Robotics Team look forward to sharing Ohmwrecker and the impact OHS Robotics with IEEE at the upcoming meeting at Lucent Technologies in Washington DC.
