An Overview. Our team of certified Business Continuity professionals is responsible for documenting and developing enterprise standards, processes, and policies for all business continuity and disaster recovery needs throughout T-Mobile. This team supports business continuity planning and defines enterprise tools and methodologies. Such consistency enhances T-Mobile’s overall planning and resumption efforts. Business Continuity Plans are housed in a centralized online repository, accessible to employees in the office and remotely through a web browser. Additionally, hard copies of plans are available at multiple sites. All Engineering personnel have been trained on these highly-detailed emergency operations plans, and T-Mobile has tiered response teams providing local support needs via enterprise-wide resources.

An Overview. A crude flowchart of a local filter is shown in Figure 16. The main difference relative to the centralized Kalman filter is the repeated performance of the data step to update the local state by newly received data. It needs to be repeated as some of the data are computed by other agents and may differ from one s-iteration to another. This step is repeated until the network-wide equilibrium is reached. The initialization performed upon start-up and/or upon a structural change (network topology) involves collecting information about models of other subsystems and network map (at this point we do not consider the restricted network radius for sharing data and model knowledge). The necessary data structures depending on the topology and other agent’s internal data are built here as well us pointers into the neighbours data structures saying which portion of data are to be imported. Details about this function are omitted here. The outer filtering loop indexed by time-step k starts by re-initialization: exchanging predicted interconnection outputs and their covariance to build the extended state. Then, the execution passes to the inner loop, indexed by time index s in which data update is performed. This involves multiple interactions with the neighbours; Xxxxxx gains and state- to-output covariance matrices are passed across the network from one neighbour to another. An important point is that the algorithm processes data upon their receiving and does not have to wait idling before it receives the next batch. The prediction step is non-iterative; it is similar to the prediction step of standard KFs. k := 0 s := 0 s := s + 1 no Finished? yes Prediction k := k + 1
An Overview. A. The ACSA Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreements enable deployed U.S. forces to acquire and exchange logistic supplies, services, and support (LSSS) with eligible foreign countries and international organizations on a reimbursable basis.12 The purpose of an ACSA is to provide commanders with a flexible means to exchange logistic support with multinational forces, particularly during emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.13 Without ACSA authority, U.S. forces would be required to use formal acquisitions procedures to secure LSSS, and they would be prohibited from transferring LSSS to foreign countries without reimbursement.14 Through the ACSA program, Congress empowered deployed commanders to address unforeseen logistic needs by exchanging LSSS with multinational partners.15
B. A Retrospective During the 1970s, the United States dramatically decreased the number of troops stationed in foreign countries.16 As troop levels decreased, U.S. forces became more dependent on contracting for their logistics support.17 However, the burdensome processes of formal commercial contracting and foreign military sales impeded logistic support in the field and undermined foreign relations.18 For example, if a U.S. commander wanted to “feed a company of U.S. troops in an allied mess hall (because they were 12 10 U.S.C. §§ 2341–2350 (2013); see DODD 2010.9, supra note 11, para.

An Overview. In the system, both cloud server and edge devices have an ability to analyze data generated by IoT device. During the use of an IoT device, edge devices will analyze the data generated by IoT devices and give corresponding instructions. When the data processing is beyond the processing capacity of the edge device or the data is too sensitive to be processed in the edge device, the cloud server has to process the data. Therefore, it is necessary to negotiate a common session key between the IoT device, the edge device, and the cloud server for subsequent data transfers. If the transmitted information is sensitive and the edge device does not have the right to view the message, the IoT device and the cloud server should negotiate a session key. In order to ensure the security of data transmission among IoT device, edge devices and cloud server. We have proposed an efficient three-party authentication and key agreement protocol. The protocol is mainly divided into the following parts: user registration, edge device registration,
An Overview. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland. Its capital city is London and its official language is English. Politically, the country is a unitary parliamentary democracy state5 with a constitutional monarchy system6. The head of the United Kingdom is the Queen7 and the head of Government is the Prime Minister. The United Kingdom Parliament comprises two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The United Kingdom legal system is governed by three distinct systems of laws: (1) English and Welsh law, which applies in England and Wales, (2) Northern Ireland law, which applies in Northern Ireland, and (3) Scots law, which applies in Scotland. The English, Welsh and Northern Ireland laws are based on common law principles. However, the Scots law is a pluralistic system based on civil law principles with common law elements.8 The UK is a member state of European Union, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and a member of the World Trade Organization, among many others.9 Economically, the United Kingdom is the eighth largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity.10 It is a developed country with traditional industries including iron, steel production, coalmining, shipbuilding, aircraft, and textiles. Other industries include, to name a few, automobile manufacturing, electronic products, food processing, and chemicals. The 5 The unitary system, in contrast to a federal system, is a system whereby a sovereign state is governed as one single unit in which the central government is supreme and any sub-national units exercise only such powers as the central government chooses to delegate. Around the end of 1997, devolution took place in the United Kingdom Governmental system. This involved transferring a range of powers from the United Kingdom central government to its sub-national units. In this case, the United Kingdom Parliament transferred powers involving matters of education and health, among others, to its national parliament or assemblies: the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly. However, the scope of those powers differs between each political institution. With respect to the country’s national policy on matters such as foreign affairs, defence, social security and trade, they remain the United Kingdom Government’s responsibility.

An Overview. The United States of America (hereinafter, ‘the United States’) is made up of fifty states and a federal district. Politically, the United States is a federal constitutional republic state244 with a written constitution. The federal government comprises three branches, each of which has its own power and influence. These branches are: (1) Legislative; (2) Executive; and (3)
