Abstract: A computer network policy compliance measurement, monitoring, and enforcement system has a director running on a computer coupled to a network. A collector runs on a second computer that is coupled to the network. The collector determines a policy state of the second computer. An advisor is coupled to the collector and indicates the policy state of the second computer.

Abstract: A system for reflective system and network performance assessment and verification includes a number of computer systems each running an assessment and verification process. A data network is coupled to each of the plurality of computer systems. A reflective monitoring process runs on a computer system and is coupled to the data network. The reflective monitoring process transmits a test and measurement information to one of the assessment and verification processes.

Abstract: A system for decentralized system and network performance assessment and verification that overcomes these and other problems includes an autonomous assessment and verification process that runs on a first computer system. A data network is coupled to the first computer system. A group assessment and verification process runs on a second computer system and is coupled to the network.
