This report uses a new methodology for profiling sectors, building a picture of the LCEGS sector from  the bottom up, rather than from the top down as is traditionally the case.   Using a full sector analysis model (see Box 2.1), it examines a broader range of products and activities  within the Low Carbon and Environmental Goods and Services (LCEGS) sector, from three core  ‘Level  1’  sectors  (Environment,  Renewable  Energy  and  Emerging  Low  Carbon),  subdivided  down  to  2490  ‘Level 5’ sub‐sectors.

In this paper we propose a new, information-based approach for modelling the dynamic evolution of a portfolio of credit risky securities. In our setup market prices of traded credit derivatives are given by the solution of a nonlinear filtering problem. The innovations approach to nonlinear filtering is used to solve this problem and to derive the dynamics of market prices. Moreover, the practical application of the model is discussed: we analyse calibration, the pricing of exotic credit derivatives and the computation of risk-minimizing hedging strategies.

Data analysis tools are the core of the NSM suite; these are the tools which actually detect and support analyses of intrusive activity. With the exception of the GUI_nsm, these are post-mortem tools to investigate data already saved to disk. In addition to analyzing data collected by one of the NSM’s data capture tools, these post-mortem tools can also analyze data collected by TCPdump. Support tools manipulate existing data to support further analysis and enable the other NSM tools.
