RSS arguesIssues in the Usage of MANETs as Backup or Load-Balancing Transit Networks of the Internet
White Paper Although the MANETs capacity is currently low compared with other backbone technologies, this paper argues that MANETs is a suitable alternative for backup or load-balancing transit networks of the Internet based on its... [10 Jul 2008]
Outlier Detection for Fine-Grained Load Balancing in Database Clusters
White Paper This paper argues that by allocating entire server boxes and migrating entire application stacks in cases of server overload, these solutions are too coarse-grained for many overload situations. Recent industry trends... [10 Jul 2008]
Overcoming NAT and Firewall Connectivity Restrictions in Overlay Multicast
White Paper This paper argues that it is critical to consider connectivity restrictions because NAT and firewall hosts make up a large fraction of the endpoints, affecting proper functionality as well as performance of overlay... [10 Jul 2008]
Bullet: High Bandwidth Data Dissemination Using an Overlay Mesh
White Paper For these applications, the paper argues that an overlay mesh, rather than a tree, can deliver fundamentally higher bandwidth and re-liability relative to typical tree structures. Of late, overlay networks have become an... [10 Jul 2008]
Clustering Intrusion Detection Alarms to Support Root Cause Analysis
White Paper Therefore, it argues that alarms should be handled by identifying and removing the most predominant and persistent root causes. It is a well-known problem that intrusion detection systems overload their human operators... [10 Jul 2008]
A Hardware Platform for Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention
White Paper This paper argues that intrusion detection analysis should be distributed to Network Node IDS (NNIDS) running in hardware on the end hosts. The current generation of centralized Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS)... [09 Jul 2008]
Woolly risk analysis is hastening a housing crash
Comment But there's a better way to ease the situation, argues Steve Boyle. Borrowers have moved from a mortgage feast to a famine so bad that the government has stepped in with a £50bn support package. CIO50 2008: Top 10 [03 Jul 2008]
Alert Communication Primitives Above TCP
White Paper This paper argues that the send primitive over TCP is alert, but the receive primitive over TCP is not. This paper considers communication primitives that can be executed by an application process to exchange messages... [03 Jul 2008]
Comparing Abstraction Refinement Algorithms
White Paper The paper argues that the generic algorithm does not limit the completeness of instances, and shows that the proposed generalization of counterexamples is necessary for completeness - thus addressing a shortcoming of... [03 Jul 2008]
A Friendly Agreement in Advance: Canada-US Defense Relations Past, Present, and Future
White Paper This paper surveys the Canada-US defense relationship over the past century and argues that Canada has no choice but to cooperate with the United States on hemispheric defense and the war on terrorism. [03 Jul 2008]
Data Abstraction and Information Hiding
White Paper The paper introduces a new specification language construct, the abstraction dependency, and argues that it is needed to achieve modular soundness in the presence of data abstraction and information hiding. [03 Jul 2008]
Jonathan Zittrain on why the internet is on a knife edge
News The Oxford University internet law professor argues the innovation that powered the growth of the internet and home computing was made possible by their open, "generative" structure, which allowed anyone to write... [30 Jun 2008]
Zittrain: Android holds the key to free future
News The Oxford professor of internet law, whose book argues the freedom of PCs and the internet has fostered the innovation that has made technology integral to our life today, fears society is shifting towards closed... [30 Jun 2008]
Multiple Self-Organizing Maps for Intrusion Detection
White Paper The paper argues that neural networks capable of unsupervised learning can provide a powerful supplement to these techniques. While many techniques have been explored for detecting intrusive or abnormal behavior on... [30 Jun 2008]
Supply Chain and Demand Chain Integration: The Pathway to Profit and Competitive Advantage
White Paper Managing demand for the total value maximization of the enterprise and the supply chains" is the "competitive battleground" of the twenty-first century, argues Dr. Over the last decade, a powerful mandate for sustained... [18 Jun 2008]
