A good talk

Posted on October 14, 2006 by | Leave a comment

Here’s a writeup of a speech by Prof. Nincic on assessing security.  I think it is a good job by Kellen Garey from my Macroeconomics class.  Read it to find out a bit about developments in maritime security, and what the future might hold.  Maybe you’ll want to learn more, or participate in security research.

Week 6 – Logistics

Posted on October 8, 2006 by | Leave a comment

This week we will spend most of our time on material from Chapter 6, which is a long and I think difficult chapter for you. There are some ideas in there you are not familiar with, and they will take some getting used to. Also we will be working problems both in class and outside.  And there will be a case presentation of the Jackson case this Friday.  all teams must prepare their Powerpoint slide show.
I may start off with a bit more on Chapter 5 material that we did not cover last week. One of the most important is remote sensing techniques (RFID and bar codes, RFDC) that we have not discussed (much). There is an article on wireless in conjunction with port management that you will find useful. It is on WebCT. The other is just a flavor of the difference between conventional EDI and the modern way, XML, which I will show you.

See you this week.
