2a. Comprehensive Global Interdisciplinary
Information Exchange - in fighting against
danger nation critical structures A
comprehensive World Society interactions all the
individuals become equal on the Earth while
counteracting natural or artificial
disasters. The National Strategy for Homeland
Security in the US categorizes critical
infrastructures into the following
sectors Agriculture, Food, Water, Public Health
( PH) , Emergency Services, Government, Defense
Industrial Base, Information and
Telecommunications, Energy, Transportation,
Banking and Finance, Chemical Industry and
Hazardous Materials, Postal and Shipping Why PH
? Public health is the basis for all economic
development for in its absence, there is no
opportunity to focus on productive steps to
improve the quality of life for a
population Accidents and emergencies may be
caused natural disasters technical failures
personnel errors adversary attacks Diverse
disciplines needs protection against accidents
and emergencies through preventing and
responding threats and recovering consequences

2c. Comprehensive Global Interdisciplinary
Information Exchange Some Questions Is it
enough to have national Department of Homeland
Security which is responsible for preventing and
responding to terrorist threats? Why networking
? Who will manage Networking ? Is there any
threat that someone will take any Global Network
( similar to SC) as an instrument to reach his or
her own prosperity and welfare ? Is SC to be a
nuclei for a new civilization, new paradigm ?

2c.1 Networking Networking contemplates
effective, reliable and fruitful information
exchange between diverse disciplines (
interdisciplinary Networking) , diverse
management level ( inter-level Networking) and
through over the world ( international Networking
). Conventional Networking Reliable and Target
Corporative P2P information exchange
Interdisciplinary Networking Implementation of
Experience of Nuclear Industry, Information
Security, Supercourse Inter-level Networking
G2P, G2B, B2P information exchange to solve
prevention tasks more accurately and in
time International Networking Implementation of
experience of excellence , that other nations
have

2c.2 Networking on International Stage Pluses
for implementation Networking Restructuring of
the National Economy, Modern ICT, Current
European and the US experience , Educated
Personnel Minuses for implementation Networking
Anti- networking - The Separation that
created intentionally Execution of natural
networking foundation - The Changing Economy ,
Management scheme based on family- friend
interest structure. In National environment is
very problematic to make work the theoretical
networking schemes because of set of threats
and obstacles. It is not technological problem
it is a social one.

3a. Supercourse as a nuclei of a new paradigm to
reorganize all the global safety system Global
Health Network- Supercourse which has been
created since 90-s of last century at Disease
Monitoring and Telecommications WHO Collaborating
Center, University of Pittsburgh and having begun
as a university course to prevent infection
diseases it should be assessed as key step in
reorganizing all the global safety system.. The
Supercourse infrastructure is simple, effective
and trustworthy Ron LaPortes estimation
The Supercourse trained 300,000-1,000,000
students Ideals survive through change.
They die through inertia in the face of challenge
( PM Tony Blair to Euro MPs. June, 23,
2005) Supercourse2, which is the next
generation

3b. Supercourse as a nuclei of a new paradigm to
reorganize all the global safety system An
organizational tool Center of Excellence in
Public Health Informatics inspires greatly as it
includes - creation of a system for creating,
storing, accessing, integrating and manipulating
information at various aggregate levels. This
Extensible Public Health Information
Collaboratory (EPIC) will allow synchronous and
asynchronous collaboration among Public Health
educators and will provide an information
infrastructure to reflect the knowledge and
sophistication of the user, will create an
environment that bridges cultural and linguistic
boundaries, and will link geographic information
systems to public health needs. A digital
library will bring sharing information across the
public health silos However it implies more
technological ( even on linguistics) than social
aspects. There are a lot of some difficulties
which impede realization of the idea and
implementation of the latter which may be
analyzed from Information Security ( InfoSec)
Scope

paradigm of Networking Information Security
Accessibility, Confidentiality and Integrity 7
principles of InfoSec System building Taking
into account all possible and interconnecting
threats, Continuity, Complexity, Optimization ,
Flexibility, Simplicity, Openness Taking into
account all possible and interconnecting threats
On the way to implement Supercourse into the
whole society the team will encounter another
threats which are different to those of thorough
academic ones Interdisciplinary InfoSec diverse
contradictions as those for Big and Small
Corporations, for Military and Universities
should be taken into account Continuity Networkin
g as InfoSec is not a single and isolated
action it is a continuous and aimed process.
Otherwise Renovation of a system makes that
vulnerable. Updating The idea to contact each
of the authors of the lectures every two years
and ask them for the updated versions of their
best lectures matches this very principle The
problem of constant contacting not
technological only but psychological as well

• InfoSec Scope essential steps
• dispelling myths
• implementing codes of practice described in ISO
  17799
• To make myths be gone
• Myth 1 Networking in Academic Society is on
  appropriate stage
• Myth 2 Networking is a technical issue.
• Policies are not technical manuals. Networking
  is about people
• Myth 3 If you build it, they will come.
• Right after you post the new Networking policy in
  the Internet, you notice all the users can think
  about is the extra work you have proposed to
  them. The process of writing policies is a group
  activity. Bringing users into the loop early
  makes them stakeholders in the policies and
  ambassadors to the rest of the networking sector
  . Peers who believe in the need for Networking
  carry a lot more weight with users than the
  "professional paranoids" of Networking

• InfoSec Scope essential steps
• Codes of practice if follow ISO 17799
• 1. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
• it is of special value to work on Glossary of
  terms and definitions.
• Initially the Supercourse was developed as
  Multilanguage tool
• 2 IMPLEMENTATION AND SECURITY POLICY
• One of the principal Qs on InfoSec whose
  proprietary is the Information Resources and
  Processes Eternal problem of balance Secrecy and
  Openness the result of contradictions between
  Proprietaries .
• 3 ORGANIZATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION AND SECURITY
• Bringing users into the loop early makes them
  stakeholders in the policies and ambassadors to
  the rest of the organization.
• 4 ASSET CLASSIFICATION AND CONTROL
• 5 PERSONNEL IMPLEMENTATION AND SECURITY
• It makes a great difference which people are
  engaged in the process.
• if it is another team no doubt the Supercourse
  will be developed otherwise.

6a. InfoSec Scope essential issues Personalizat
ion and real-time adaptation Users A
personalized system builds a model of the goals,
preferences and knowledge of each individual
user, and uses this model to guide interaction
with the user. Not only the system should be
adaptive but users are to be prepared To make
them think collaboratively, to attract them into
collaborative activity. It is of some sense to
seek for people who are ready to accept the SC
and Network Prevention Paradigm. Adversaries
While personalization and real-time adaptation
not only users but adversaries as well should be
taken into account. Theoretically Personalization
by collecting information about the users and
adversaries and fusing it into coherent user and
adversary models is good . But the construction
of the models might be a difficult task which is
feasible for group of experts in diverse
disciplines

Prevention must be secured itself to be a
trustworthy entity A key factor that will
determine the success of Networking is the
associated security and privacy issues. Access

7. Conclusion Information Security Techniques
with their great ISO17799 ideology will help to
formulate Information Policy, to clarify threats
and barriers, to name adversaries and
competitors, to provide continuity. Through
Librarian Sciences and Technologies - to
disseminate the idea. Librarian Sciences and
Technologies will support dissemination of
information severely and give it a solid base. In
the spirit of Supercourse, networking tools are
to be realized through a series of capable and
sophisticated open-source software that are
intuitive for practitioners to use. The
software should be suitable to move data to A
digital library that will bring sharing
information across the silos . Through Legal
Tools - to persuade diverse societies that the
idea is true - to overcome bureaucratic and
juridical barriers - to elaborate Codes of
practice with taking into account InfoSec, Ethics
and Law aspects - here will be the base for
interdisciplinary and intercultural bridge.
Implementation has to be realized aggressively
through practice, research, and academic
(education, training and awareness )
