A file format that lets you exchange text files between different word processors in different operating systems.

A local area network (LAN) in which the nodes (workstations or other devices) are connected in a closed loop configuration. Adjacent pairs of nodes are directly connected. Other pairs of nodes are indirectly connected.  

The potentiality of an event due to which an expected positive outcome will not happen, or due to which there may be an undesirable loss of value.

The process of defining and analyzing the dangers to individuals, businesses and government agencies posed by potential natural and human-caused adverse events. 

Risk Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking.

A systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a project, activity or function.

A strategy for prioritizing and sharing information about the security risks to an information technology (IT) infrastructure. A good RAF organizes and presents information in a way that both technical and non-technical personnel can understand.

In Project Management, the Risk Management process involves identifying, assessing and managing risks. Risk is a concept that denotes the defined probabilities of specific eventualities. These eventualities may have both beneficial and adverse impact. The objective of Risk management is to predict risks, assess their impact and plan in advance on the best possible manner to deal with it in the likelihood of its occurrence.

PMI-RMP is a Risk Management Certification awarded by PMI (Project Management Institue) for professionals with expertise and competency in assessing and identifying project risks, mitigating threats and capitalizing on opportunities, while still possessing a core knowledge and practical application in all areas of project management.

Risk Management Software is an Enterise Software that assists in the process of planning, organizing, prioritizing, and controlling the activities of an organization in order to minimize the effects of risk on an organization's capital and earnings. 

A risk data mart provides a uniform basis for master data management, reporting and risk controlling.

Risk monitoring is the process which tracks and evaluates the levels of risk in an organisation. 

Rational Integration Tester (RIT) is used to create, modify, and run service tests, and performance tests. With Rational Integration Tester, you get a scripting-free environment for developing tests for SOA messaging and business process integration projects. You can build tests by recording existing system behaviors or from requirements, by entering the data to send and the data that is expected in return. You can also create virtual services to remove test dependencies and enable earlier testing. Virtual services can be deployed by IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server to provide on-demand virtualized test environments that can support all phases of the test development lifecycle.

Skill Level: Intermediate Status: ActiveFor individuals who work in the ITS industry or have limited design experience. Emphasis is on education in technical areas related to ITS or IS.

Receiver-Driven Layered Multicast (RLM), is a network protocol used in multicast information broadcasting . Multicast is a mode of transmitting information from one transmitter to several receivers. The problem is that real-time, source-based rate adaptive applications perform poorly in heterogeneous multicast environments because there is not a single target rate, and all receivers can not be simultaneously satisfied with  one transmission rate. RLM moves the burden of rate-adaptation to the receivers.  In fact, under RLM, multicast receivers adapt to both the static heterogeneity of link bandwidths as well as dynamic variations in network capacity like congestion. RLM works on top of the existing IP model and does not require any extra new machinery.
