 | Information sharing and collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies has been repeatedly stressed as a part of the national security strategy. The emphasis has been on interagency communication and has largely left unaddressed the need for internal information system improvements. This thesis will examine how Web 2.0 technology as part of an emergent social software platform (ESSP) can be used to improve intra-agency law enforcement criminal information sharing and ... |

| As a result of the unregulated rise of superfluous interoffice e-mail, employees currently must wade through inboxes glutted with needless information to find the tidbits of valuable data actually needed to perform their jobs. This problem, also known as e-mail overload, creates unnecessary stress, reduces workplace productivity, and fundamentally threatens the information superiority of both private and government enterprises. Organizations that try to combat e-mail overload by employing e-mail policies, ... |

| This paper explores the ramifications of what a proof that non-deterministic polynomial (NP) time algorithms could be solved in polynomial (P) time would mean for computer networking and the Internet as a whole. The P = NP problem and is a famous and unresolved mathematical question. If the P and NP classes of problems are really one in the same, there would be significant ramifications across numerous fields, including and ... |

| The current organizational messaging capability within the Department of Defense (DoD) is an old technology that operates on a system-centric paradigm. This system-centric methodology for transmitting organizational messages is obsolete in the information-centric world in which we live. The importance of the information should determine what requirements are levied against it, instead of the system imposing the requirements on the information. To modernize organizational messaging, it must shift from a ... |

| Writing is on the decline in the Army officer corps. Thoughtful, precise writing in staff papers has been replaced by hastily composed e-mails and PowerPoint slides filled with bullet statements of incomplete sentences. This deterioration of writing skills is causing a corresponding deterioration of thinking skills. Writing, although valuable as a communication medium, is most valuable as a powerful way of thinking. Writing forces us to order thoughts in a ... |

We develop an efficient inference methodology for Comrafs based on combinatorial optimization of information-theoretic objective functions; both global and local optimization schema are discussed. We apply Comrafs to multi-modal clustering tasks: standard (unsupervised) clustering, semi-supervised clustering, interactive clustering, and one-class clustering. For the one-class clustering task, ... |

| Phishing is a form of crime in which identity theft is accomplished by use of deceptive electronic mail and a fake site on the World Wide Web. Phishing threatens financial institutions, retail companies, and consumers daily and phishers remain successful by researching anti-phishing countermeasures and adapting their attack methods to the countermeasures, either to exploit them, or completely circumvent them. An effective solution to phishing requires a multi-faceted defense strategy. ... |

| Most organizations have formal and informal elements. Formal structures are usually documented in organizational charts showing chain of command, levels of authority, and personnel resources. The actual effectiveness of the organization or specific individuals may actually depend on informal structures and internal communication networks. These are by definition personality-dependent and may provide significant insight into how work actually gets done within the organization. Effective leaders will want insight into these ... |

| Invented by Dr. Dan Boneh and Dr. Matt Franklin in 2001, Identity- Based Encryption, or IBE, is a breakthrough in cryptography that, for the first time, enables users to simply use an identity, such as an email address, to secure business communications. This replaces the digital certificates that a traditional X.509 based public key infrastructure (PKI) relies on. Moreover, unlike existing security solutions, secure communication based on IBE technology can ... |

| Many real-world problems involve a combination of both text- and numerical-valued features. For example, in email classification, it is possible to use instance representations that consider not only the text of each message, but also numerical-valued features such as the length of the message or the time of day at which it was sent. Text-classification methods have thus far not easily incorporated numerical features. In earlier work we described an ... |
