EER notation. FIGURE 6. Original EER for Constraint 4ConclusionTemporal constraints are often integral to the correct operation of a business, yet they areseldom captured in a high-level notation such as EER. This means that the fundamentalinteraction of temporal constraints on the business are often only captured in detailedrequirements or, even worse, only in code.James Allen [2] defines a non-primitive relationship “in” which allows one interval bewholly within another interval. The “in” relationship would be an even more appropriaterelationship than the “during” relationship to be used for our examples. The “during”relationship was used because it is a primitive relationship and the introduction of non-primitive

• Security technologies • Security planning and architectureWhile developing this course, the CIS department also developed an information security majorprogram that would fulfill US government requirements for information security education. Thedepartment would seek certification for the major under the Information Assurance CoursewareEvaluation Program9. Since the curriculum focuses on training “information securityprofessionals,” the department sought to meet the requirements of Instruction 4011 of theCommittee for National Security Systems7. Although this document dates from 1994, it is stillthe curriculum standard used by the US government. To support this, the course includesexercises to cover almost all “learning outcomes” listed in the

technology.Third, enrollments in our programs have increased significantly, especially in the distanceeducation sections, which has stretched laboratory resources to their limits, making it hard tomeet demands for remote labs. With virtual machine technology, it is possible to deploy adiversified virtual network lab at a minimal cost. The virtual machine technology permits rapidchanges, deployments, and adaptation of curriculum and laboratory experiences in step with the Page 13.80.2advances in technology. The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation ofa portable virtual network security lab, as part of our ongoing effort to
