W3C MMI - Current work
1 Multimodal architecture: A loosely coupled architecture for the
multimodal interaction framework that focuses on providing a general
means for components to communicate with each other, plus basic infrastructure for application
control and platform services.

ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Operating System & Application Control
1 If an attacker can easily view someone's username and password, he can impersonate
that user, and do massive damage by modifying critical information, read corporate emails, damage corporate websites etc. The procedure to log into an Operating System or application control should minimize the risk of unauthorized access. The procedure shall therefore follow a strict set of rules to govern what information is displayed to the potential
user during the process of log-in.

Information technology controls
1 The COBIT Framework (Control Objectives for Information
Technology) is a widely used framework promulgated by the IT
Governance Institute, which defines a variety of ITGC and application
control objectives and recommended evaluation approaches

Information technology controls - IT application controls
1 IT application or program controls are fully automated (i.e., performed automatically by
the systems) designed to ensure the complete and accurate processing of data, from input through output. These controls vary based on the business purpose of the
specific application. These controls may also help ensure the privacy and security of data
transmitted between applications. Categories of IT application controls may
include:https://store.theartofservice.com/the-application-control-toolkit.html
Information technology controls - COBIT (Control Objectives for Information Technology)
1 COBIT is a widely utilized framework containing best practices for both ITGC and application controls. It
consists of domains and processes. The basic structure indicates that IT
processes satisfy business requirements, which is enabled by specific IT control activities. It also recommends best practices and
methods of evaluation of an enterprise's IT controls.

Internal control - Activity categorization
1 IT application controls – Controls over information processing enforced by IT applications, such as edit checks
to validate data entry, accounting for transactions in numerical sequences, and comparing file totals with control
accounts.

Information technology audit - Types of IT audits
1 And some lump all IT audits as being one of only two type: "general
control review" audits or "application control review" audits.

Information technology audit - History of IT Auditing

including the applying of workflow instead of using the paper request form, using the application control instead of manual control which is more reliable or implementing the

confidential information, and provide immediate feedback to the user

Unified threat management - How UTM secures the network
1 In this context, UTMs represent all-in-one security appliances that carry a variety of
security capabilities including firewall, VPN, gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-spam, intrusion prevention, content filtering,
bandwidth management, application control and centralized reporting as basic features.
The UTM has a customized OS holding all the security features at one place, which can lead to better integration and throughput than a
collection of disparate devices.

Check Point - Products
1 Network Security — Check Point's core business has historically focused on network security components including Firewall, IPsec VPN,
Mobile Access, Intrusion Prevention, Antivirus, Anti-spam, URL filtering, Data Loss Prevention and Application Control. These products are
deployed as software on x86-based hardware made by third parties including Crossbeam and Hewlett-Packard, or by Check Point(Safe@Office, UTM-1 Edge, UTM-1, Power-1, IP Appliances, and
Integrated Appliance Solutions platforms).

Handshaking
1 The "squealing" (which is actually a sound that changes in pitch 100 times every
second) noises made by some modems with speaker output immediately after a
connection is established are in fact the sounds of modems at both ends engaging in
a handshaking procedure; once the procedure is completed, the speaker might be silenced, depending on the settings of
Operating System or the application controlling the modem.

Categorical list of programming languages - In object code
1 A wide variety of dynamic or scripting languages can be embedded in compiled
executable code. Basically, object code for the language's interpreter (computing)|interpreter needs to be linked into the executable. Source code fragments for the embedded language can then be passed to an evaluation function as strings. Application control languages can
be implemented this way, if the source code is input by the user. Languages with small
interpreters are preferred.

Microsoft Direct3D - Direct3D 10.1
1 Direct3D 10.1 sets a few more image quality standards for graphics vendors, and gives
developers more control over image quality. Features include finer control over anti-
aliasing (both multisampling and supersampling with per sample shading and application control over sample position) and
more flexibilities to some of the existing features (cubemap arrays and independent
blending modes). Direct3D 10.1 level hardware must support the following features:

CPU cache - Page coloring
1 Large physically indexed caches (usually secondary caches) run into a problem: the
Operating System rather than the application controls which pages collide with one another
in the cache. Differences in page allocation from one program run to the next lead to differences in the cache collision patterns, which can lead to very large differences in
program performance. These differences can make it very difficult to get a consistent and
repeatable timing for a benchmark run.

software can be run on a computer as a means of avoiding security and
other risks.

Synaptics - History
1 The company started shipping commercial products in 1995, with its
flagship TouchPad interface for notebook PCs. The TouchPad is a
touch-sensitive pad for notebooks or keyboards that senses the position of
a user’s finger(s) on the surface to provide screen navigation, cursor
movement, application control, and a platform for interactive input.

REXX - History
1 The Amiga version of Rexx, called ARexx, was included with AmigaOS 2
onwards and was popular for scripting as well as application
control. Many Amiga applications have an ARexx port built into them
which allows control of the application from Rexx. One single
Rexx script could even switch between different Rexx ports in order
to control several running applications.

Untangle - History
1 In February 2012 Untangle released Untangle 9.2, which included
Application Control. Application Control allows users to block, flag, or tarpit applications and protocols. For
a greater degree of control, administrators can create custom rules in the proprietary Integrated Rules Engine (IRE), which target more complex traffic patterns.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-application-control-toolkit.html
Untangle - History
1 The IRE allows Application Control to work in concert with other aspects of the multi-function firewall suite to enable rule-based blocking of the most challenging traffic types. In fact, this integrated approach is the only known way to
control protocol-agile applications like the Ultrasurf proxy. Untangle users can think about the IRE as a voting expert system that accepts inputs from all Untangle filters and then meters out blended control responses based on threat
type and policy.

Untangle - History
1 In April, 2012, Untangle changed the content of the Standard Package to
include both IPsec VPN and Application Control.

Data analysis (information technology) - Continuous monitoring
1 Continuous monitoring is an ongoing process for acquiring, analyzing, and
reporting on business data to identify and respond to operational business risks. For
auditors to ensure a comprehensive approach to acquire, analyze, and report on business data, they must make certain the
organization continuously monitors user activity on all computer systems, business
transactions and processes, and application controls.

human intervention) and IT-dependent controls (i.e., those that involve the review of automatically
generated reports)
