A system for developing and implementing empirically derived algorithms to generate decision rules to determine participant noncompliance and fraud with research protocols in clinical trials allows for the identification of complex patterns of variables that detect or predict participant noncompliance and fraud with research protocol, including performance and enrollment goals, in the clinical trial. The data may be used to overall predict the performance of any participant in a clinical trial, allowing selection of participants that tend to produce useful, high-quality results. The present invention can also be used to monitor participant compliance with the research protocol and goals to determine preferred actions to be performed. Optionally, the invention may provide a spectrum of noncompliance, from minor noncompliance needing only corrective feedback, to significant noncompliance requiring participant removal from the clinical trial or from future clinical trials. The algorithms and decision rules can also be domain-specific, such as detecting non-compliance or fraud among subjects in a cardiovascular drug trial, or demographically specific, such as taking into account gender, age or location, which provides for algorithms and decision rules to be optimized for the specific sample of participants being studied.

Security sensor data from intrusion detection system (IDS) sensors, vulnerability assessment (VA) sensors, and / or other security sensors is used to enhance the compliancy determination in a client compliancy system. A database is used to store the security sensor data. In one particular embodiment, a list of device compliance statuses indexed by corresponding identifiers (e.g., IP / MAC addresses) combined from IDS, VA, and / or other security sensing technologies is made available as a non-compliance database for query, so that clients and other compliancy authentication elements can tell that a particular client appears to be out of compliance. A client-side self-policing compliance system is enabled, and can be used in conjunction with automated endpoint compliance policy configuration to reduce system administrator burden.

Disclosed are network management procedures that apply measurements of traffic load to achieve greater efficiency in the operation of the network. In a method for deciding whether to route an incoming call on a selected potential service route, the potential service route is treated preferentially if each of its links has available capacity that is more than sufficient by a specified margin. In a method for computing billing revenues, the non-compliance of the network service provider with contracted requirements for carried load causes a revenue penalty to be exacted for lost bandwidth.

A system for tracking compliance to risk management policies for a given enterprise that provides risk status feedback on hierarchical managerial levels. The system notifies users of potential problems with non-compliance of enterprise policies set on a high level of enterprise management, and prompts the users to take steps to achieve compliance. The enterprise policies are designed to protect the enterprise from various forms of risk associated with enterprise activities. Accordingly, minimizing risk across enterprise operations, subdivisions, projects and applications produces an overall benefit of reduced liability or exposure to liability for the entire enterprise. A compliance status is provided by business groups at all levels of the enterprise, and consolidated for each management level to which the risk status is promoted. Higher level managers can view summaries of risk management status for the business divisions, and select particular statuses to view compliance among various business groups under the manager's responsibility.
