Distributed Intrusion Detection for Computer Systems Using Communicating Agents
White Paper Most commercially available intrusion detection systems provide for a distributed mechanism, but require that information be transmitted to a central location for detection processing. Intrusion detection for computer systems is a key problem of... [10 Jul 2008]
Data Collection Mechanisms for Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper Drawing from the experience obtained during the development and testing of a distributed intrusion detection system, the paper reflects on the data collection needs of intrusion detection systems, and on the limitations that are faced when using... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing and Unbalancing for Power and Performance in Cluster-Based Systems
White Paper This paper addresses power conservation for clusters of workstations or PCs, such as those that support a large number of research/ teaching organizations and most Internet companies. The approach is to develop systems that dynamically turn cluster... [10 Jul 2008]
Symmetric Active/Active High Availability for High-Performance Computing System Services: Accomplishments and Limitations
White Paper This work paves the way for high-level reliability, availability and serviceability in extreme-scale HPC systems by focusing on the most critical components, head and service nodes, and by reinforcing them with appropriate high availability... [10 Jul 2008]
A Neural Network Approach for Dynamic Load Balancing in Homogeneous Distributed Systems
White Paper A novel neural-based solution to the problem of dynamic load balancing in homogeneous distributed systems is proposed. The winner-Take-All (WTA) neural network model is used for implementing the selection and location policies of a typical dynamic... [10 Jul 2008]
An Extenics-Based Load Balancing Mechanism in Distributed Computing Systems
White Paper In distributed computing systems, load balancing is one of the most important factors that affect the system performance. For the transfer policy, instead of defining a fixed threshold value in the traditional load balancing policies, the extension... [10 Jul 2008]
The Application of Intrusion Detection Systems in a Forensic Environment
White Paper There has been some controversy regarding the applicability of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to the forensic evidence collection process. Another perspective submits that the IDS are the most likely candidate for collecting forensically... [10 Jul 2008]
The Effect of Bandwidth on Speech Intelligibility
White Paper This paper discusses the relation between bandwidth and intelligibility in speech, how improved bandwidth can compensate for other deficiencies such as noise and reverberation, and how the importance of wider audio bandwidth is becoming... [10 Jul 2008]
Clustering Intrusion Detection Alarms to Support Root Cause Analysis
White Paper It is a well-known problem that intrusion detection systems overload their human operators by triggering thousands of alarms per day. This paper presents a new approach for handling intrusion detection alarms more efficiently. [10 Jul 2008]
Neural Networks in Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper For this purpose, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) were designed. Misuse systems detect intrusions by looking for activity that corresponds to the known signatures of intrusions or vulnerabilities. Anomaly systems detect intrusions by searching... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Structured P2P Systems
White Paper Most P2P systems that provide a DHT abstraction distribute objects among "Peer nodes" by choosing random identifiers for the objects. Besides, P2P systems can be highly heterogeneous, i.e.they may consist of peers that range from old desktops... [10 Jul 2008]
Shipment FUSION Integrates Disparate Lines of Business
White Paper The solution ties together the shipment systems of each business unit to provide internal and external users with a single resource for all shipment tracking and account reporting. The disparate systems employed by each operating company had... [10 Jul 2008]
A Log Analysis Based Intrusion Detection System for the Creation of a Specification Based Intrusion Prevention System
White Paper This paper proposes a novel Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) which would base its knowledge and operation on a higher level of abstraction than the processing of the contents of the network packets audit data themselves which is the source of... [10 Jul 2008]
Randomly Roving Agents for Intrusion Detection
White Paper Agent based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have advantages such as scalability, reconfigurability, and survivability. The most common form of agent is the DMA (Data Mining Agent), which randomly moves around the network and collects information. [10 Jul 2008]
Network Security Checklist
White Paper Now more than ever, you depend on your network for your most important business operations, such as communication, inventory, billing, sales, and trading with partners. It also includes tips that can help you develop and win support for an... [10 Jul 2008]
