David Pocock , Systemic Family Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, author and lecturer, joins us to discuss his influential paper, "A Philosophy of Practice for Systemic Psychotherapy: The Case for Critical Realism." (2015) In this session, we revisit the paper almost ten years after its initial publication to examine its enduring themes and its significant contribution to the field of family therapy. David explains what critical realism is and how it manifests in therapeutic practice, highlighting its role in bridging the gap between structuralism and post-structuralism and combines moderate realism with moderate constructionism.  David provides an accessible and insightful overview of the paper, demonstrating how critical realism supports a coherent, accountable, and robust understanding of therapeutic practice. Through this discussion, we gain a deeper appreciation for the practical applications of critical realism in systemic psychotherapy, and how it enhances the therapist's ability to navigate complex relational dynamics within diverse family systems. This review underscores the continued relevance and value of critical realism as a philosophical foundation for effective and ethical therapeutic practice.Reference:Pocock, D. (2015).

Ann Winblad has seen it all, except lately she can't find this little t-shirt her father the then high school basketball coach gave her, that brings her back to her pre-teen days when she would cheer and support the hoops team along with her 4 sisters and her brother. Oh well, no time to dwell. It turns out Ann actually was a high school basketball cheerleader (and as Ann points out the class valedictorian) to the Federal Reserve to founding and running a software company, Open Systems, which she sold for a tidy profit, and then into Software focused VC firm #1. As Founding Partner at Hummer Winblad, the first VC firm focused exclusively on software, formed in the late '80s she was turned down by hundreds of would-be LP investors at the time. Ann wound up funding many great co's including MuleSoft, Five9, Hyperion acquired by Oracle, Wind River and dozens others - now she's overseeing and coaching startups and investments in various markets including space and technology, while still cheerleading in her philanthropic adventures.

On this episode Jordan talks with Meredith Bronk, CEO and President at Open Systems Technologies, Inc. OST is an integrated, cross-functional business technology firm that brings together strategy and insights, digital experiences, connected products, data center transformation and enterprise managed services.    Meredith has been with OST almost from the beginning and has much to share about its growth and values. So much so, that she has a blue card printed with the company values right on her desk and with her whenever she's engaging with her team. The company was living its values long before they were formally codified; she talks about the importance of not taking that living of values for granted. She addresses the importance of constantly embodying those principles and avoiding what she calls cultural hypocrisy. She also reflects on the notion that values remain the same while culture may change.   Looking to build your own BragWorthy Culture? Fringe can help.

Join Drs. Hugh Ross and David Block as they discuss the theological and philosophical implications of the dynamically open systems in our universe and how those systems point to the reality of God's existence. In this episode, Hugh and David discuss how the gold-plated mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are revealing a plethora of detail in both our low- and high-z redshift universe. Galaxies are dynamically open systems, interacting and colliding with one another. This is true for look-back times of 13 billion years or a mere 2 million years. An example of a dynamically open system in our local universe is a near head-on collision in the Andromeda Spiral Galaxy, Messier 31. Hugh and David also explore the larger implications of high-z JWST images, especially in terms of Cauchy data in spacetimes with singularities. References: “An almost head-on collision as the origin of two off-centre rings in the Andromeda galaxy” https://doi.org/10.1038/nature05184, D.L. Block, F. Bourmaud, F.

In Episode 30 of A is for Architecture, I speak with Alastair Parvin, CEO of Open Systems Lab, co-founder of WikiHouse, writer and architect. Open Systems Lab 'believe that if we want to build a successful, sustainable, fair and inclusive digital economy and to navigate the massive changes of the next half-century, we need to design, invest-in and deploy new open systems for everyone'. We discuss the impact of these things and the implications and possibilities they suggest, particularly for the production and management of the built environment - towns and cities, house and homes (and the gaps in between). Alastair and I talk about all this with reference to three pieces he has written: A New Land Contract, Planning for the Future and We need new operating systems. Whose job is that?, all linked here but available on Alastair's Medium page. I met Alastair At Sheffield School of Architecture, where we both studied. His work, which incorporates stints at RSH+P and Architecture 00, is a wonderful example of the possibilities afforded by engaging with socio-spatial and process thinking. Follow the links above to Al's articles, and watch him TED the roof off here: Architecture for the people by the people. He also gave a talk entitled The Future of Regulations at the Radical Practice Conference 2020, Royal College of Art & Dark Matter Laboratories, which is worth a sticky.

AI is regularly in the spotlight because of all the great things that can be accomplish with it. However, while we don't want to think of it that way, it's also possible that AI can be used for nefarious reasons, and unfortunately, that's what's starting to happen. In this week's Embedded Executives podcast, I spoke to Paul Keely, the Chief Cloud Officer for Open Systems. Paul explained how this is actually happening with AI technology, and what you should do to protect yourself.

Open systems architecture is changing the defense electronics market and business dynamics of the Department of Defense (DOD). Advancing software and hardware standards across DOD and military services is leading us to rethink the bridge that connects research & engineering (R&E) to acquisition. But challenges exist, including intellectual property rights, conformance, and architectural constraints early in development.  In this episode, Host Ken Miller is joined by Mr. Rodger Hosking from Mercury Systems and leader in the Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) Consortium; and Mr. Patrick Collier from the Aspen Consulting Group. We discuss these issues and challenges as DOD is set to release new standards later this summer. To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our website.The AOC thanks Northrop Grumman Corporation for sponsoring this episode.

On today's ID the Future, Canceled Science author and physicist Eric Hedin talks with host Eric Anderson about the challenge the generalized second law of thermodynamics poses for purely naturalistic scenarios for the origin of the first living organism. The problem is generating the reams of exquisitely orchestrated biological information required for even the simplest self-reproducing cell, and fundamental principles of physics, Hedin argues, mitigate against chemical processes getting the job done. What about the fact that the Earth is an open system, gaining energy from the sun? Does that provide an end-run around the second law? Hedin says no and explains why, using easy-to-grasp illustrations. His recent book from Discovery Institute Press, Canceled Science: What Some Atheists Don't Want Read More › Source

The rise in cyberthreats has led to breaches that can shut down IT systems, leak client data and intellectual property and potentially halt production - and enterprises need to have an immediate response to security threats. But Open Systems, a secure access service edge (SASE) is a pioneer delivering a complete solution to network and security. The company helped Mikron Group, the Swiss-based manufacturer of customized automation solutions, respond more quickly and effectively to security threats and shift to a unified managed detection and response. Like many companies, Mikron enabled Microsoft Azure Sentinel SIEM (security information and event management) as part of its Microsoft 365 E5 license to bolster cybersecurity. However, Mikron CISO Rolando Galeazzi found himself buried in threat alerts, unable to separate the true threats from noise. “Bad actors don’t care about company size. It’s impossible for a small team to monitor cyberthreats 24x7,” said Galeazzi Mikron already worked with Open Systems’ SASE platform for a secure, cloud-based SD-WAN. But then he learned the Open Systems’ Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service is built on top of Sentinel, allowing him to still make use of Mikron’s investment in Microsoft and enabling seamless integration across both Sentinel and SASE. Ric Longenecker, CISO shares how the integration created a 24x7 security operations center for Mikron and increased the speed of Mikron’s average time for security change requests from 72 hours to 15-30 minutes. Ric joined Open Systems as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in 2020, after following the company with growing respect for the better part of a decade. A seasoned security leader with global experience in the Government, Energy and Consumer Services industries, he remains strongly passionate about security and enablement in a fast-changing world. Ric holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University, a number of certifications, and is strongly involved with multiple industry groups and associations in the US, Europe and Israel.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the new frontier of security and networking. In this episode, Dave Nuti, head of channels at Open Systems, walks us through how this approach to technology might raise your company to a higher level in the age of the cloud.

Dave and Roman provide an in-depth discussion on Open Systems solutions and the many ways it’s tailored to their customer’s varying needs.

In this lecture I propose to discuss some issues concerning the founda- tions of quantum mechanics and its interplay with space-time physics. I start by clarifying the distinction between ’realistic theories’ and ’probabilistic theories’ of Nature and sketch how the latter can often be viewed as ’deformations’ of the former. I then briefly recall some of the intriguing features of atomistic Quantum Mechanics, which belongs to the second class of theories. I attempt to describe, in con- ceptual terms, what it is that Quantum Mechanics predicts about Nature when appropriate experiments are done. I try to sketch some implications of this discussion for our views of space and time. I will conclude by sketching some recent results on the ’effective quantum dynamics’ of Open Systems, in particular on ’Quantum Brownian Motion’.

Weekly Wrap for Nov. 22, 2019 Plus, Nokia expanded its software platform to Amazon, and Google acquired CloudSimple The burgeoning SASE market lures another entrant; Nokia strengthens its software ties to Amazon; and Google bought VMware-migrator CloudSimple. Palo Alto Networks Leaps Into SASE Market AWS Absorbs More of Nokia’s 5G-Focused Software Platform Google Buys CloudSimple, Challenges VMware Cloud on AWS SDxCentral Weekly Wrap Full Transcript Today is November 22, 2019, and this is the SDxCentral Weekly Wrap where we cover the week’s top stories on next-generation IT infrastructure. This week’s episode of the Weekly Wrap is sponsored by Silver Peak. Learn more about the Silver Peak SD-WAN solution. Palo Alto Networks is the latest vendors to jump into the burgeoning secure access service edge bandwagon. The security vendor’s SASE bid is through a cloud-based SD-WAN and data loss prevention service that ties into its Prisma Access platform. The company said that the combination delivers an end-to-end networking and security service from a distributed platform that is based in the cloud. This aligns with Gartner’s SASE definition that states such platforms stitch together elements of edge computing, security, and wide-area networking into a single cloud-managed package. Palo Alto Networks explained that its SASE platform is different from competing SD-WAN offerings that compromise on security, add complexity, and deliver unpredictable performance when users are accessing cloud applications. The vendor also revamped its Panorama management console to allow for easier and more consistent application of security policies, and a rebuilt workflow for configuring and managing a SASE deployment. Others that have recently entered the nascent space include VMware, Cato Networks, Infoblox, and Open Systems.

Open Systems was founded in 1990 as a security integrator and Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP). In 2012, as software-defined networks came into their own, they transitioned into a leading provider of secure SD-WAN globally. They have been a leader in the field ever since and currently operate in more than 180 countries. Co-headquartered in Zurich and Silicon Valley, they consider innovation is their birthright. The company combines next-generation technology, machine learning-enhanced operational processes, and the world’s top engineers to deliver an end-to-end, fully integrated SD-WAN for their customers. I invited Moritz Mann onto my daily tech podcast to learn more about SD-WAN (software-defined networking in a wide area network). Moritz Mann studied at the Dualen Technical College Baden-Württemberg (DHBW) in Lörrach, Germany. He holds a degree in Information Systems. Additionally, he has earned a Bachelor in Business Administration from Open University in Milton Keynes, UK. After finishing his studies, Moritz Mann joined Open Systems AG directly. Between 2012 and 2017, he held the responsibility for Mission Control Operations in Zurich and Sydney after having worked in different roles in Development, Professional Services, and Sales.  In mid-2017, he became the Chief Product Officer, responsible for product development in the market. We discuss increasing network safety for IoT using SD-WAN and how endpoints can be connected to respond to the changing nature of a network. I also learn how SD-WAN can be implemented using simple, rapid configuration, so IoT endpoints have bandwidth support. Finally, we explore how SD-WAN can provide insights that deliver the best customer experience. But while also allowing enterprise stakeholders to remove the complexity of network management and shift focus to business growth.

Can the ocean be boiled? Is the aquarium a closed system? Is the Universe an open system? Are all systems conceptual (& arbitrary?)? Do systems always have components? Can an individual body have a temperature? Why does the temperature not change ‘during’ the process of freezing? What describes volume? Might we have closed (idealized) theories to understand otherwise open systems? How do bodies ‘turn’ inactive? Is openness always a question of degree given (say) the strength of interactions and/or the dimensional scale? Is classical theory an approximation of quantum theory? What would your little protest do? Can closed societies stay closed forever? Do dynamics of interactions matter? Can phase transitions happen in closed systems? Can living cells become inert (yet viable) spores? Does atom-ness exist? Are we, as human beings, components of systems? How do political systems take shape? Is it possible for ideas to be closed? Does our changing knowledge keep even the past unclosed? Is anything closed at all? Are closed models necessary and helpful? &, will we continue to open the world up this way? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using concepts from philosophy (Dr. Anirban Mukherjee, University of North Bengal, Siliguri), electrical engineering & systems biology (Dr. Shaunak Sen, IIT Delhi, New Delhi), & mathematics (Prof. K.

This week on the show, we're loaded up with great stories ranging from System call fuzzing, a history of UNIX Pipes, speeding up MySQL imports and more. Stay tuned, BSDNow is coming your way right now. This episode was brought to you by Headlines System call fuzzing of OpenBSD amd64 using TriforceAFL (i.e. AFL and QEMU) (https://github.com/nccgroup/TriforceOpenBSDFuzzer) The NCCGroup did a series of fuzz testing against the OpenBSD syscall interface, during which they found a number of vulnerabilities, we covered this back in the early summer What we didn't notice, is that they also made the tools they used available. A combination of AFL (American Fuzzy Lop), QEMU, OpenBSD's FlashRD image generation tool, and the “Triforce” driver The other requirement is “a Linux box as host to run the fuzzer (other fuzzer hosts may work as well, we've only run TriforceAFL from a Linux host, specifically Debian/Ubuntu” It would be interesting to see if someone could get this to run from a BSD host It would also be interesting to run the same tests against the other BSDs *** On the Early History and Impact of Unix: the Introduction of Pipes (http://people.fas.harvard.edu/~lib113/reference/unix/unix2.html) Pipes are something we just take for granted today, but there was a time before pipes (How did anything get done?) Ronda Hauben writes up a great look back at the beginning of UNIX, and specifically at how pipes were born: One of the important developments in Unix was the introduction of pipes. Pipes had been suggested by McIlroy during the early days of creating Unix. Ritchie explains how "the idea, explained one afternoon on a blackboard, intrigued us but failed to ignite any immediate action. There were several objections to the idea as put....What a failure of imagination," he admits.(35) McIlroy concurs, describing how the initial effort to add pipes to Unix occurred about the same time in 1969 that Ritchie, Thompson and Canaday were outlining ideas for a file system. "That was when," he writes, "the simple pipeline as a way to combine programs, with data notationally propagating along a chain of (not necessarily concurrent) filters was articulated."(36) However, pipes weren't implemented in Unix until 1972. We also have a great quote from McIlroy on the day pipes were first introduced: Open Systems! Our Systems! How well those who were there remember the pipe-festooned garret where Unix took form. The excitement of creation drew people to work there amidst the whine of the computer's cool- ing fans, even though almost the same computer ac- cess, could be had from one's office or from home. Those raw quarters saw a procession of memorable events. The advent of software pipes precipitated a day-long orgy of one-liners....As people reveled in the power of functional composition in the large, which is even today unavailable to users of other systems. The paper goes on to talk about the invention of other important tools, such as “grep”, “diff” and more. Well worth your time if you want a glimpse into the history of UNIX *** Speeding up MySQL Import on FreeBSD (https://blog.feld.me/posts/2016/09/speeding-up-mysql-import-on-freebsd/) Mark Felder writes a blog post explaining how to speed up MySQL bulk data imports “I was recently tasked with rebuilding a readonly slave database server which only slaves a couple of the available databases. The backup/dump is straightforward and fast, but the restore was being excruciatingly slow. I didn't want to wait a week for this thing to finish, so I had to compile a list of optimizations that would speed up the process. This is the best way to do it on FreeBSD, assuming you're working with InnoDB. Additional optimizations may be required if you're using a different database engine.” “Please note this is assuming no other databases are running on this MySQL instance. Some of these are rather dangerous and you wouldn't want to put other live data at risk.” Most of the changes are meant to be temporary, used on a new server to import a dump of the database, then the settings are to be turned off. Specifically: sync_binlog = 0 innodbflushlogattrx_commit = 0 innodb-doublewrite = 0 He also prepends the following but of SQL before importing the data: set sqllogbin=0; set autocommit=0; set uniquechecks=0; set foreignkey_checks=0; You can also help yourself if your MySQL database lives on ZFS zfs set recordsize=16k pool/var/db/mysql zfs set redundant_metadata=most pool/var/db/mysql Remember, this tuning is ONLY for the initial import, leaving these settings on long term risks losing 5-10 seconds of your data if the server reboots unexpectedly zfs set sync=disabled pool/var/db/mysql zfs set logbias=throughput pool/var/db/mysql *** PostgreSQL and FreeBSD Quick Start (https://cwharton.com/blog/2016/10/postgresql-and-freebsd-quick-start/) There's lots of databases to choose from, but Postgres always has a special place on FreeBSD. Today we have a look at a ‘getting started' guide for those taking the plunge and using it for the first time. Naturally getting started will look familiar to many, a couple simple “pkg” and “sysrc” commands later, and you'll be set. After starting the service (With the “service” command) you'll be ready to start setting up your postgres instance. Next up you'll need to create your initial user/password combo, and a database with access granted to this particular user. If you plan to enable remote access to this DB server, you'll need to make some adjustments to one of the .conf files, allowing other IP's to connect. (If you are hosting something on the same system, this may not be needed) Now yous should be good to go! Enjoy using your brand new Postgres database. If this is your first rodeo, maybe start with something easy, like Apache or Nginx + Wordpress to try it out. *** News Roundup OpenBSD vmm hypervisor test drive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE_7E1pXy5c) As we asked for a week or two ago, someone has taken OpenBSD's vmm for a test drive, and made a video of it The command line interface for vmm, vmctl, looks quite easy to use. It takes an approach much closer to some of the bhyve management frameworks, rather than bhyve's rather confusing set of switches It also has a config file, the format of which looks very similar to what I designed for bhyveucl, and my first effort to integrate a config file into bhyve itself. The video also looks at accessing the console, configuring the networking, and doing an OpenBSD install in a fresh VM Currently vmm only supports running OpenBSD VMs *** FreeBSD Foundation October 2016 Update (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/FreeBSD-Foundation-October-2016-Update.pdf) Wow, November is already upon us with the Holidays just around the corner. Before things get lost in the noise we wanted to highlight this update from the FreeBSD foundation. Before getting into the stories, they helpfully provide a list of upcoming conferences for this fall/winter, which includes a couple of USENIX gatherings, and the Developer Summit / MeetBSD next week. +The foundation gives us a quick hardware update initially, discussing some of the new ThunderX Cavium servers which are deployed (ARMv8 64Bit) and yes I'm drooling a bit. They also mention that work is ongoing for the RPi3 platform and PINE64. GNN also has an article reprinted from the FreeBSD journal, talking about the achievement of making it to 11.0 over the span of 23 years now. Of course he mentions that the foundation is open to all, and welcomes donations to continue to keep up this tradition of good work being done. Deb Goodkin gives us an update on the “Grace Hopper” convention that took place in Houston TX several weeks back. Roughly 14k women in Tech attended, which is a great turnout, and FreeBSD was well represented there. Next we have a call to potential speakers, don't forget that there are plenty of places you can help present about FreeBSD, not just at *BSD centered conferences, but the SCALES of the world as well. We wrap up with a look at EuroBSDCon 2016, quite a nice writeup, again brought to us by Deb at the foundation, and includes a list of some of those recognized for their contributions to FreeBSD. *** Adhokku – a toy PaaS powered by FreeBSD jails and Ansible (https://github.com/adhokku/adhokku) Described as a toy Platform-as-a-Service, Adhokku is an ansible based automated jail creation framework Based on the concept of Dokku, a single-host open source PaaS for Linux powered by Docker When you deploy an application using Adhokku, Adhokku creates a new jail on the remote host and provisions it from a fixed clean state using the instructions in the Jailfile in your Git repository. All jails sit behind a reverse proxy that directs traffic to one of them based on the domain name or the IP address in the HTTP request. When a new jail has been provisioned for an application, Adhokku seamlessly reconfigures the reverse proxy to send traffic to it instead of the one currently active for that application. The following instructions show how to get Adhokku and an example application running in a VM on your development machine using Vagrant. This process should require no FreeBSD-specific knowledge, through modifying the Jailfile to customize the application may. This seems like an interesting project, and it is good to see people developing workflows so users familiar with docker etc, can easily use BSD instead *** Installing OpenBSD 6.0 on your laptop is really hard (not) (http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/openbsd.html) OpenBSD on a laptop? Difficult? Not hardly. We have a great walkthrough by Keith Burnett, which demonstrates just how easy it can be to get up and running with an XFCE desktop from a fresh OpenBSD installation. For those curious,this was all done with a Thinkpad X60 and 120GB SSD and OpenBSD 6.0. He doesn't really cover the install process itself, that is well covered by the link to the OpenBSD FAQ pages. Once the system is up and running though, we start with the most important portion, getting working internet access (Via wifi) Really just a few ‘ifconfig' commands later and we are in business. Step 2 was getting the package configuration going. (I've never understood why this is still a thing, but no fret, its easy enough to do) With package repos available, now you can grab the binaries for XFCE and friends with just a few simple “pkg_add” commands Steps 4-6 are some specific bits to enable XFCE services, and some handy things such as setting doas permissions to get USB mounting working (For graphical mount/unmount) Lastly, keeping the system updated is important, so we have a nice tutorial on how to do that as well, using a handy “openup” script, which takes some of the guesswork out of it. Bonus! Steps for doing FDE as also included, which isn't for everyone, but you may want it *** Beastie Bits Pi-top with RPi-3 and FreeBSD HEAD (https://twitter.com/gvnn3/status/791475373380804608) NetBSD 7.0.2 released (http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_7_0_1_released1) DragonflyBSD - git: kernel - Fix mmcsd read/write issues (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2016-October/624851.html) A char device which implements an Enigma machine (FreeBSD & Linux) (https://github.com/rafael-santiago/dev-enigma) *** Feedback/Questions Matt - System Monitoring (http://pastebin.com/ayzvCuaq) Tony - LLVM License (http://pastebin.com/r5axPSE7) Ben - Thanks (http://pastebin.com/MNxCvUtX) David - Write Cache (http://pastebin.com/RswFASqW) Charles - Fonts (http://pastebin.com/e317a32f) ***

Die Schweizer IT-Branche reagiert auf diese Entwicklung und positioniert sich international mit dem Thema Sicherheit. Politische Stabilität macht Datenlagerung attraktiv Die Schweiz ist für international tätige Firmen ein attraktiver Standort für die Datenlagerung. Das liegt an der sauberen und unabhängigen Energieversorgung, der politischen Stabilität im Land und den günstigen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Diese Vorzüge nutzt beispielsweise auch das Unternehmen Safe Host in Plan-les-Ouates, das aufgrund dieser Argumente mehrere Kunden aus den USA gewinnen konnte und erst dieses Jahr seine Kapazitäten um 4‘000 Quadratmeter erweitert hat. Aber: Schweizer Brand im Ausland noch wenig bekannt Gemäss der «Swissness Worldwide»-Studie der HSG wird die Schweiz aber trotz ihrer stets hohen Ränge bei Innovationskraft und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit im globalen Vergleich nicht als führende Anbieterin von ICT-Produkten wahrgenommen. Die Studie zeigt ausserdem, dass beispielsweise die Datenlagerung sehr preissensitiv ist. Sollte also die Datenspeicherung in der Schweiz im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern um 10 % teurer sein, sinkt die Bereitschaft, einen Schweizer Anbieter zu wählen und diesen Aufpreis zu zahlen auf 30 % ab. Bei gleichen Preisen würden noch 57 % der Befragten die Schweiz bevorzugen. Vertrauen und Zuverlässigkeit bringen Schweizer ICT voran Trotzdem können Schweizer ICT-Unternehmen auf gewisse, mit der Schweiz konnotierte Eigenschaften zurückgreifen.

Due to advances in hardware and software technologies, Department of Defense (DoD) systems today are highly capable and complex. However, they also face increasing scale, computation, and security challenges. Compounding these challenges, DoD systems were historically designed using stove-piped architectures that lock the government into a small number of system integrators, each devising proprietary point solutions that are expensive to develop and sustain over the lifecycle. Although these stove-piped solutions have been problematic (and unsustainable) for years, the budget cuts occurring under sequestration are motivating the DoD to reinvigorate its focus on identifying alternative means to drive down costs, create more affordable acquisition choices, and improve acquisition program performance. A promising approach to meet these goals is open systems architecture (OSA). In this podcast, Don Firesmith discusses how acquisition professionals and system integrators can apply OSA practices to effectively decompose large monolithic business and technical architectures into manageable and modular solutions that can integrate innovation more rapidly and lower total ownership costs.

Giovanni Valente (Pittsburgh) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (06 December, 2012) titled "Local Disentanglement in Relativistic Quantum Field Theory". Abstract: In their paper on "Entanglement and Open Systems in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory", Clifton and Halvorson (2001) raised the question whether entanglement between quantum systems can be destroyed by means of local operations and claimed that, contrary to non-relativistic quantum mechanics, this can never be the case in relativistic quantum field theory. In this talk I will argue that Clifton and Halvorson's no-go result applies only to a special kind of local operations, and thereby I will reject their conclusion. In fact, after providing sufficient conditions for local disentanglement to be achieved, I will show that, if the split property holds, there exists a class of local operations which disentangle all states across any pair of spacelike separated quantum field systems.

In this day and age of Open Systems and Open Source development, what possible value does ERP offer? With millions of dollars already invested in ERP solutions, are the organizations stuck paying for its maintenance or are there other options? Is the ERP world expected to morph into a more acceptable form. If yes, what would and should that form be?
