Despite these massive investments, attacks have continued, and the attackers—with the help of social engineering and sophisticated automated tools—have continued to succeed. Two-thirds of sensitive and regulated data resides in databases, and unless the databases are protected using a multilayered security architecture, that data is at risk. Learn how Oracle Database security solutions, including Oracle Database Firewall, Oracle Advanced Security, and Oracle Database Vault, mitigate that risk by addressing potential threats from outside and inside the database. —By David Baum Cover: I-Hua Chen Future-Proof / 36 The next platforms for application delivery are here, and users are demanding a rich and portable experience on these rapidly evolving devices. Application developers are now creating rich applications that need to work on everything from the corporate desktop to smartphones and tablets. Development tools must enable rapid application development to reach new devices quickly, and the tools must deliver a full-featured user experience to all devices. Read how three organizations are using Oracle databases and database development tools to deliver feature-rich applications fast to the latest platforms and devices. —By David A.

  • 1 Establishment of the First Java 3DTM Enabled CAVE a Whitepaper
    Establishment of the first Java 3DTM enabled CAVEÒ1 A Whitepaper Christoph W. Sensen, University of Calgary, Sun Center of Excellence for Visual Genomics Jeff Brum, Fakespace Systems, Kitchener, Ontario Paul Gordon, University of Calgary, Sun Center of Excellence for Visual Genomics Mark Hood, Sun Microsystems, Palo Alto, CA Gary Lindahl, Fakespace Systems, Kitchener, Ontario Michael Schulman, Sun Microsystems, Palo Alto, CA Chris Spindler, Sun Microsystems of Canada, Calgary, Alberta Megan Stuart, Sun Microsystems of Canada, Calgary, Alberta Stefan Unger, Sun Microsystems, Palo Alto, CA 1 Ò CAVE is a registered trademark of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees 1 Introduction The name "CAVE" is a recursive acronym (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment). The CAVE was researched and developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, at the University of Illinois at Chicago2 as a tool for scientific visualization. Since it's premiere at the 1992 SIGGRAPH conference, the CAVE has achieved international recognition as the pinnacle of immersive virtual reality system technology, providing a compelling display environment for science, engineering, and art. The intent of the CAVE is to facilitate “suspension of disbelief” by making the virtual environment as realistic as possible. The quality of the graphical images is of paramount importance to realism. Depending upon the model or environment being explored, the speed of the computer’s graphic system will affect the speed of image update. The layout of the physical CAVE structure itself (typically at least three walls with a 270 degree angle and a floor display) will also affect the sense of virtual presence. Today, the CAVE technology has been commercialized and is marketed by Fakespace Systems Inc.

Chapter 1 The Desktop Management Challenge Coping with a never-ending stream of software upgrades and patches, dealing with personal software on desktop PCs, and managing a variety of software versions and hardware failures all present challenges to system administrators. As the number of desktops grows, management and operational costs rise. Ensuring that every system is protected against the latest security attacks is a time-consuming task, and energy budgets inflate as more desktops are added to the environment. In addition, demonstrating compliance with industry or government legislation and internal policies is difficult when applications reside on individual PCs. Perhaps most importantly, sensitive data and critical applications on desktops and laptops are vulnerable to theft and data loss — a problem that is exacerbated by poor backup procedures.
