Microsimulation — A survey of principles, developments and applications

Taxonomy of information security risk assessment (ISRA)

This essential dimensions of microsimulation as an instrument to analyze and forecast
the individual impacts of alternative economic and social policy measures are surveyed
in this study The basic principles of microsimulation, which is a tool for practical
policy advising as well as for research and teaching, are pointed out and the static and
dynamic (cross-section and life-cycle) approaches are compared to one another Present
and past developments of microsimulation models and their areas of application are
reviewed, focusing on the US, Europe and Australia Based on general requirements and
components of microsimulation models a microsimulation model's actual working
mechanism are discussed by a concrete example: the concept and realization of
MICSIM, a PC microsimulation model based on a relational database system, an
offspring of the Sfb 3 Statitic Microsimulation Model Common issues of
microsimulation modeling are regarded: micro/macro link, behavioural response and the
important question of evaluating microsimulation results The concluding remarks
accentuate the increasing use of microcomputers for microsimulation models also for
teaching purposes

Microsimulation - A Survey of Methods and Applications for Analyzing Economic and Social Policy

Internet security

An approach to cyber-physical vulnerability assessment for intelligent manufacturing systems

Informational and Communication Technologies (ICT) plays a fundamental role for social and economic development. Similarly, it is recognized that there cannot be an effective use of ICT in the absence of a safe and trusted ICT environment. Thus, IT security plays a prime role in helping creating the environment needed to set the ground for implementing successful national ICT plans, e-Government or e-Commerce activities, as well as sectoral projects, such as, for example, in the areas of education, health, or finance. IT security is a complex topic and evolves almost as fast as technology does. The authors provide technology-independent best practices, as well as recommendations for particular IT environments. As technology evolves, the accompanying web site (www.infodev-security.net) will provide updates as appropriate, allowing for a constant dissemination of developments in the field of IT security. The book is composed of five parts, each of which can be read independently. After an introduction to general issues of IT security, the book addresses issues relevant specifically to individuals, small and medium organizations, government, and technical administrators. Although most of the research and publications on IT security comes from developed countries, the authors have attempted to provide practical guidance applicable anywhere and to include examples from developing countries.

Microanalytic Simulation of Household Behavior

MASH: A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR MICROANALYTIC SIMULATION FOR POLICY EXPLORATION George Sadowsky Yale University 1988 The dissertation describes the design and construction of a computer-based system for the construction and execution of microanalytic models. The specific models for which MASH is optimized are models of the household sector which are embedded in a larger macroeconomic framework. The dissertation includes an analysis of the problems in constructing initial microanalytic simulation states, and describes the creation of two such initial population states from Census machine readable microdata sources. The subject of both microanalytic model and computer system specification are addressed at several different levels. For the microanalytic model builder, the dissertation includes a discussion of the creation of initial populations, specification of both microanalytic and macroeconomic models, and the substantive characteristics of solutions obtained. For the computer specialist; discussions of the computing environment in which the system was implemented, the strategy underlying the system design and implementation process, and the syntax and semantics of the command language, including its implementation, are included. This work was performed primarily under Guy Orcutt at the Urban Institute during the period 1970-1977. A companion document, Policy Exploration Through Microanalytic Simulation, has been published by the Urban Institute and describes the use of this work in embodying current microanalytic knowledge of the household sector and in exploring a variety of public policy options with respect to it.

MASH, a computer system for microanalytic simulation for policy exploration

Accelerating development using the web: empowering poor and marginalized populations.

The set of computer related activities characterized by the term "social science computing" is both diverse and extensive. During the past 15 years, such activities have grown substantially both in scope and in volume and have become increasingly important both for basic research in the social and behavioral sciences and for public policy formation and evaluation.
