Security heading for the cloud
News Security company Symantec is also forecasting a shift from home users and businesses installing security packages on individual computers to accessing security services via remote machines online. Cloud-based malware and spam detection in email and... [17 Jul 2008]
Defra to ditch desktops and PDAs
News She said the department was also looking at sourcing machines through sustainable supply chains and achieving CO2 savings by measures such as turning off over-complicated screensavers and introducing automatic standby on more machines. [16 Jul 2008]
UK failing to respect computing heritage
News What is more important is recognising the impact these machines had on the societies of their day. IT chiefs have hit out at the lack of respect the UK as a nation gives to its computing heritage following the mothballing of the Museum of Computing... [15 Jul 2008]
ShoreTel Ergonomic Phones
White Paper Ergonomics is the science of designing products, machines, and systems in a way that maximizes the safety, comfort, and efficiency of the people who use them. Unfortunately, until now, few office telephones have been designed with ergonomics in mind. [14 Jul 2008]
Google open sources data-moving tool
News When all of your machines and network links are running at capacity, XML is an extremely expensive proposition. Google has open sourced an internal development tool called 'Protocol Buffers', a data description language that forms a basic part of... [11 Jul 2008]
Scalability, Fidelity, and Containment in the Potemkin Virtual Honeyfarm
White Paper A prototype honeyfarm system has built, called Potemkin that exploits virtual machines, aggressive memory sharing, and late binding of resources to achieve this goal. The rapid evolution of large-scale worms, viruses and bot-nets have made Internet... [11 Jul 2008]
QoS Controllers for the Internet
White Paper This paper review basic control strategies that machines acting as traffic controllers could deploy in order to improve the management of Internet services. Such traffic controllers are likely to spur the widespread emergence of advanced... [11 Jul 2008]

Better Bounds for Online Load Balancing on Unrelated Machines
White Paper This paper studies the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on un-related machines when the objective is to minimize the Lp norm of the machine loads. The paper also address the question whether randomization helps on-line load balancing under Lp... [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing for Parallel Volume Rendering
White Paper Parallel volume rendering is one of the most efficient techniques to achieve real time visualization of large datasets by distributing the data and the rendering process over a cluster of machines. However, when using level of detail techniques or... [10 Jul 2008]
Convergence Time to Nash Equilibrium in Load Balancing
White Paper It considers a variety of load balancing models, including identical, restricted, related and unrelated machines. This paper studies the number of steps required to reach a pure Nash equilibrium in a load balancing scenario where each job behaves... [10 Jul 2008]
Operating System Multilevel Load Balancing
White Paper Although sched domains implementation allows Linux to build a multilevel hierarchy to represent multilevel machines, the generic code of the current kernel version builds no more than two levels in the sched domains hierarchy. [10 Jul 2008]
CS424 Network Security: Bayesian Network Intrusion Detection (BNIDS)
White Paper Additionally, current NIDS rely on specific cues or deviation detection from a valid path in finite state machine that models the system behavior of machines on the network. Many Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) exist, but they can be... [10 Jul 2008]
