A security system uses rules to restrict access to objects of a database. These security rules are dynamic because they can adjust when the number of objects in the database is changing. In other words, the security rules can permit access to new objects when new objects are added to, modified, or deleted from the database. With this system, objects can be added to a container by a security administrator or they can be added based upon the triggering or activation of one or more rules. With this system, access to objects in a database is usually determined after each request for access instead of relying on a static permanent list.

A method for concurrent data migration includes classifying files to be migrated into plural jobs, selecting media to which to migrate each job, and using plural drives concurrently to write the jobs to the media. The selection of a medium is performed in a way that prevents the number of writeable media from exceeding the number of available drives, unless no allocated medium has sufficient space to store any files in a migration job. A medium is preferentially selected that has already been allocated for writing, has space to store at least one file in the job, is not in use for another job, and can be robotically mounted on a drive. If such a medium does not exist, then the set of available media is canvassed to locate an alternative medium. The attributes of each medium are evaluated to determine which medium can be selected most consistently with the goals of (1) preventing the number of media from exceeding the number of drives, and (2) providing sufficient media to allow plural drives to be used concurrently. The technique can be embodied in a file management environment that transparently migrates files meeting certain criteria and stores the location of the migrated file in a reparse point provided by the file system.

The invention relates to a security risk assessment and early warning method for a high-speed railway tunnel during operation period. The method comprises the first step of constructing an evaluationbasis, including a risk rating assessment standard, an evaluation index system and an early warning mechanism establishment: the risk rating assessment standard includes a risk possibility assessmentstandard and a risk consequence severity rating assessment standard. The risk rating assessment is based on the risk probability rating as the ordinate, and the risk consequence severity rating as theabscissa to construct a risk assessment matrix. The evaluation index system is established by the hazard factors of the four aspects of "human- things-management-environment ", and constructs the risk probability membership function of the hazard factors. The early warning mechanism is established by four-color early warning. The second step of risk rating assessment is quantitatively calculatedbased on the membership function and the second-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, and conducted combining the risk consequence severity rating assessment standard and the risk rating assessment matrix. The third step of determining the early warning rating: obtained by coupling the superposition analysis risk rating and the early warning indicator risk rating. The beneficial effects of the security risk assessment and early warning method for a high-speed railway tunnel during operation period are that the evaluation results are quantified, and the decision is based on science.
