Open source is a term that allows individuals or end-user to modify software or programs for the purpose of study‚ use‚ copy‚ or share its source code. This concept applies to operating system such as GNU. GNU is a Unix-like operating system that is free software – it respects your freedom. The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix!” (GNU Operating System‚ 2013). It is a completely free software system that is upward-compatible with Unix (GNU Operating System‚ 2013). The GPL also

Abstract The Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model is a standard reference model for the communication between two end users. Seven different layers make up the OSI model: physical‚ data link‚ network‚ transport‚ session‚ presentation‚ and application. This paper will cover the type of security that is associated with each level of the OSI model. Physical Layer The physical layer is where the actual communication occurs between devices. The security of the physical layer pertains to the

According to Benton‚ Gonzalez-Jurado‚ Beneit-Montesinos‚ and Fernandez (2013)‚ an open system interacts with the current environment. A possible problem that may arise using the open system is due to the changing environment over a period. In a study to explore the nursing regulation in an open system approach‚ Benton et al. (2013) listed several issues that could cause problems. One issue is the unstable workforce within the nursing field. Benton et al. report of a shortage of nurses which causes

Open Access and our System of Accessibility Kayla R. Bishop Central Washington University The future of academic publishing‚ through open access‚ seems like it may be on the brink of extinction unless something is going to be done about the prices journal publishers put on research libraries and the rest of the public. Open access is our future in education‚ having research available for other researchers to build off of is what we need to fulfill all academic findings.

In this security survey I will be using predominantly examples from the staff’s interviews and other security elapses that present two perspectives on these complexities. First is to present critical human error infrastructures as complex adaptive systems‚ which share certain characteristics that policy makers and managers need to account for. Secondly‚ the balance of the paper outlines will focus on improvements of the analytical and decision-making
