Oracle Privacy Security Auditing or Multivariable Control Systems

Oracle Privacy Security Auditing: Includes Federal Law Compliance with HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley & The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act GLB

Author: Arup Nanda

Sharing secrets for the effective creation of auditing mechanisms for Health/Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) compliant Oracle systems, this book demonstrates how the HIPAA framework provides complete security access and auditing for Oracle database information. Complete details for using Oracle auditing features, including auditing from Oracle redo logs, using system-level triggers, and using Oracle9i fine-grained auditing (FGA) for auditing of the retrieval of sensitive information, are provided. Examples from all areas of auditing are covered and include working scripts and code snippets. Also discussed are the use of the Oracle9i LogMiner to retrieve audits of database updates and how to implement all Oracle system-level triggers for auditing, including DDL triggers, server error triggers, and login and logoff triggers.

Multivariable Control Systems: An Engineering Approach

Author: Pedro Albertos

Multivariable control techniques solve issues of complex specification and modelling errors elegantly but the complexity of the underlying mathematics is much higher than presented in traditional single-input, single-output control courses. Multivariable Control Systems focuses on control design with continual references to the practical aspects of implementation. While the concepts of multivariable control are justified, the book emphasises the need to maintain student interest and motivation over exhaustively rigorous mathematical proof. Tools of analysis and representation are always developed as methods for achieving a final control system design and evaluation. Features:- design implementation clearly laid out using extensive reference to Matlab(r); - combined consideration of systems (plant) and signals (mainly disturbances) in a fluent but simple presentation; - step-by-step approach from the objectives of multivariable control to the solution of complete design problems. Multivariable Control Systems is an ideal text for masters students, students beginning their Ph.D. or for final-year undergraduates looking for more depth than provided by introductory textbooks. It will also interest the control engineer practising in industry and seeking to implement robust or multivariable control solutions to plant problems in as straightforward a manner as possible.

  1. Accountants do rely on books to study. It's so generous of you to share all these books, especially Oracle Fine9i. I looked up this book in bookstores, and it has all the basics and advanced techniques for auditing.

  2. You are very generous for sharing these books. I am looking for references for my review, and this book definitely has it all. Security auditing and multi-variable control system take up a large part of CPA exams, or so they say. Well, it pays to be prepared, right?
