Appl. No.:

11/869388

Inventors:

Donald James Erdman - Raleigh NC, US
Jacques Rioux - Cary NC, US
Laura Elizabeth Jackson - Cary NC, US

Assignee:

SAS Institute Inc. - Cary NC

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 728, 707111

Abstract:

A method is provided for analyzing operational risk associated with one or more organizations, comprising receiving operational loss data from a plurality of organizations at a third-party risk management entity that is a separate entity from the plurality of organizations. The operational loss data includes confidential information regarding one or more of the plurality of organizations. The data received from the plurality of organizations, including the confidential information, is pooled. The pooled data is used to generate an operational risk model for one of the plurality of organizations, and this operational risk model is transmitted to the organization. A system for modeling operational risk for a plurality of organizations is provided, comprising a first data store configured to collect data regarding operational losses from the plurality of organizations, whose data includes confidential information regarding one or more of the organizations. The system includes software instructions configured to pool the operational loss data collected from the plurality of organizations and software instructions configured to generate operational risk models for the organizations using the pooled data, wherein the confidential information is not removed from the pooled data. The system also includes a second data store configured to store the generated models.

Abstract:

An optical-inclusive, dWDM local area network and the accompanying signaling protocol necessary to facilitate communication between nodes in a network. This network architecture provides for a packet-oriented network, independent of the number of nodes and the number of supported wavelengths, and provides for scheduled access to the medium, which guarantees higher utilization.
