This is a 6-part video series entitled C++ Models by Dr. James Fawcett. Each video describes different conceptual models underlying the C++ programming language. Discussion with exemplars is used to illustrate how the models apply to aspects of the language for effective use. In this series, eight fundamental models are covered: Code Structure, Compilation, Program Execution, Use of Memory, Classes, Object Model, and Templates.

Part 6 of this 6-part video series describes templates with a focus on the code generation model. Template function overloading and template class specialization are discussed. The conclusions section provides information on where to find the models presentation and the example code.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
