RSS abstractionsEfficient Switching Supports of Distributed .NET Remoting With Network Processors
White Paper Among distributed object-oriented software, .NET Remoting provides a language layer of abstractions for performing parallel and distributed computing in .NET environments. Distributed object-oriented environments have... [11 Sep 2008]
Adaptive Load Balancing for DHT Lookups
White Paper In the past few years, several DHT-based abstractions for peer-to-peer systems have been proposed. The main characteristic is to associate nodes (peers) with objects (keys) and to construct distributed routing structures... [04 Aug 2008]
Using Attribute-Managed Storage to Achieve QoS
White Paper Attribute-managed storage systems hide details of the underlying storage systems through virtual store abstractions - units of storage with quality of service guarantees. Specification of storage systems by means of... [04 Aug 2008]
Automated Analysis of Network QoS Parameters for Voice Over IP Applications
White Paper To assess the characteristics of inter-domain connections for VoIP traffic, this work propose the use of patterns, i.e.abstractions for structures of QoS parameter behaviour. The VoIP applications in Internet are... [04 Aug 2008]
Restoration Algorithms for Virtual Private Networks in the Hose Model
White Paper The endpoints of a VPN are connected using abstractions such as Virtual Channels (VCs) of ATM or Label Switching Paths (LSPs) of MPLS technologies. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) aims to emulate the services provided by... [11 Jul 2008]
Programming Internet Quality of Service
White Paper We propose the design of APIs for upper level network QoS be based on service-dependent and service-independent abstractions, supporting alternative styles of QoS specifications and provisioning. Additionally, we propose... [03 Jul 2008]
Bridging the Gap Between Acme and UML 2.0 for CBD
White Paper This paper maps Acme modeling abstractions into UML 2.0, using its new component modeling constructs, its lightweight extension mechanisms and OCL well-formedness rules. Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) such as... [10 Apr 2008]
Rococo's Bluetooth Technology Licensing Kit (TLK): Technical Overview
White Paper The JABWT component implements all of the required Java classes and abstractions required to implement a Java Bluetooth implementation, including classes to implement L2CAP, RFCOMM, OBEX, SDP and the Bluetooth Control... [10 Apr 2008]
Evaluation of the Zeus MAS Framework
White Paper The focus of this paper is to collect reusable abstractions from the Zeus MAS that support plug-and-play agent infrastructure and behavior, agent interoperability, building a generic MAS core, and a MAS interface... [10 Apr 2008]
Discovering the Virtues of Server Virtualization
White Paper From a technological perspective, server virtualization - the creation of digital abstractions that represent real physical servers - offers institutions of higher education a plethora of advantages, from providing... [01 Mar 2008]
Acute and TCP: Specifying and Developing Abstractions for Global Computation
White Paper This paper describes ongoing work to establish semantic foundations for real-world distributed computation. This paper is designing and implementing Acute, an expressive and safe programming language (based on an OCaml core) with... [15 Jan 2008]
Google proposes global privacy standard
News Other countries have an ideological bent.APEC has a pragmatic focus on privacy harms.not abstractions. While Google is leading a charge to create a global privacy standard for how companies protect consumer data, the... [14 Sep 2007]
A Local Data Abstraction and Communication Paradigm for Pervasive Computing
White Paper Such situations require new communication abstractions that enable immersed devices to interact directly with available sensors, reducing both communication overhead and data latency. As sensor networks are increasingly... [31 Aug 2007]
Symmetric Authentication Within a Simulatable Cryptographic Library
White Paper Proofs of security protocols typically employ simple abstractions of cryptographic operations, so that large parts of such proofs are independent of cryptographic details. An extension to the Dolev-Yao model was... [31 Aug 2007]
MEMS-Based Storage Devices and Standard Disk Interfaces: A Square Peg in a Round Hole?
White Paper The differences motivate the question of whether they need new abstractions to be utilized by systems, or if existing abstractions will be sufficient. With one noted exception, nowadays storage... [25 Aug 2007]
