An Analysis Of User-Centric Identity Technology Trends, Openid's First Act, Peter Motykowski
An Analysis Of User-Centric Identity Technology Trends, Openid's First Act, Peter Motykowski
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Identity technologies within Internet applications have evolved at an aggressive pace over the past decade. As a result, a variety of user-centric identity management technologies are available on the Internet today. The user-centric identity technology realm has become a fragmented ecosystem of standards, techniques, and technical approaches to identity management. A symptom of this fragmentation is the sluggish adoption of user-centric identity technologies by Internet users. A study titled, An Analysis of User-Centric Identity Technology Trends, OpenID"â„¢s First Act, aims to reveal identity technology adoption patterns of users that engage in the use of Internet applications secured by an authentication …
Drawbacks With It Outsourcing; Dealing With The End Of The Contract, Michael Muntean
Drawbacks With It Outsourcing; Dealing With The End Of The Contract, Michael Muntean
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Many companies have looked to outsourcing Information Technology infrastructure and business processes as a means to save capital and streamline company business and assets. While companies initially approach outsourcing engagements concentrating on the migration of data and services to the vendor company, they rarely take into account potential issues that could possibly cause an outsourcing engagement to fail. Failure to address these potential issues within the contract can lead a business to be stuck in an outsourcing engagement that offers little to no benefit to the company. This project presents the details of a survey performed at a business that …
A Project To Design, Implement, And Populate An Effective Geodatabase In Order To Re-Organize Geographic Information Systems Instructional A Small Community College, James C. Gibbons
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Geographic information systems instruction at a small community college was deemed inadequate by instructional staff and students. Inadequate resources and inefficient organization of data resulted in frustration for all users. Slow infrastructure resulted in excessive time needed to complete student projects and precluded the course objectives to be fully met. A project was completed to define requirements and recommendations, obtain necessary upgrades to both hardware and network infrastucture, reorganize data storage in a local geodatabase, and institute methods for more efficient instruction using ArcView and ArcCatalog applications from the software suite ArcGIS Desktop by ESRI. Subsequent adoption of the changes …
The Best Nix For A Combined Honeypot Sensor Server, Stephen M. Rodriguez
The Best Nix For A Combined Honeypot Sensor Server, Stephen M. Rodriguez
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The paper will examine (through case-study) the usability of open source operating systems software for a combined Honeypot sensor server. The study will scrutinize the use of two Unix variants, Linux Red Hat and the Sun Solaris operating systems as candidates for deployment of a combined Honeypot sensor server. Appropriate unbiased metrics, such as extensibility, reliability, ease of install and use, will be employed as a likely criterion to evaluate the operating systems for the role of hosting Honeypot sensor server software.
Gender Equality With Agile In Software Engineering, Deborah P. Martin
Gender Equality With Agile In Software Engineering, Deborah P. Martin
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Women are under-represented in information technology careers in general and in the profession of software development in particular and their numbers are declining. Previous studies on this topic have investigated whether the reason for this is due to a difference in capability arising out of their gender, or whether the reason arises from social factors. A software development methodology called “Agile†has arisen in recent years which focus on collaboration, working software, and a sustainable workweek. Studies have shown that adopting Agile techniques in the classroom helps to retain women in computer information academic curricula and that adopting them in …
When Is An Enterprise Service Bus (Esb) The Right Choice For An Integrated Technology Solution?, John (Gerry) Burns
When Is An Enterprise Service Bus (Esb) The Right Choice For An Integrated Technology Solution?, John (Gerry) Burns
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an important systems integration technology often closely associated with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Some maintain that an ESB should not be used apart from SOA. Others see the ESB simply as the next generation of middleware, incorporating the best of its predecessors, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), and a candidate for any integration requirement. Is the ESB a one-size-fits-all solution to be trusted for any integration requirement, or must its use be carefully considered with proper due diligence based on application complexity and/or the presence or absence of a defined …
Itil Adoption In Healthcare: A Study Of Process Impact At A New England Hospital A Study Of Process Impact At A New England Hospital, Dawn Almeida
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This is a study of how adopting Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) at a New England hospital impacted service management. The New England hospital began the adoption of ITIL by changing three existing ad-hoc processes to standardized processes following ITIL best practices. Those processes were knowledge management, software management and incident management. This study shows the impact on the quality of IT services and IT/business alignment, and the barriers faced during the adoption project. Using a qualitative methodology through action research, the study found the adoption of ITIL had a positive impact on service management. There is limited academic research …
