Has Barclays stamped out fraud with PINsentry?
News The UK's third-largest bank said this week that it has distributed the card reader, made by Amsterdam-based Gemalto, to more than one million customers, and that none have been hit by fraud. Barclays claims to have reduced online fraud to zero... [18 Jul 2008]
QoS Issues With the L-Store Distributed File System
White Paper As the flood of data associated with leading edge instruments, sensors, and simulations continues to escalate, the challenge of supporting the distributed collaborations that depend on these huge flows becomes increasingly daunting. [18 Jul 2008]
A Distributed System Reference Architecture for Adaptive QoS and Resource Management
White Paper This paper deals with large, distributed real-time systems that have execution times and resource utilizations which cannot be characterized a priori. Thus, a scheme is presented for dynamically managing distributed computing resources by... [18 Jul 2008]
Performance Analysis of QoS Supported by Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Mechanism in IEEE 802.11e
White Paper This paper evaluates the capability of QoS support in Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11e standard, which is the Medium Access Control (MAC) enhancements for QoS support in 802.11.EDCA mechanism allow... [18 Jul 2008]
A Scalable Distributed QoS Multicast Routing Protocol
White Paper Many Internet multicast applications such as teleconferencing and remote diagnosis have Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. It is a challenging task to build QoS constrained multicast trees with high performance, high success ratio, low overhead... [18 Jul 2008]
Distributed QoS Routing for Backbone Overlay Networks
White Paper In recent years, overlay networks have emerged as an attractive alternative for supporting value-added services. Due to the difficulty of supporting end-to-end QoS purely in end-user overlays, backbone over-lays for QoS support have been proposed. [18 Jul 2008]
Heuristics for Scheduling Virtual Machines for Improving QoS in Public Computing Utilities
White Paper Computing utilities based on Virtual Machines (VMs) migrating among distributed computing resources are becoming increasingly practical and emerging as a viable infrastructure for outsourcing computer services. [18 Jul 2008]
Improving Restoration Success in Mesh Optical Networks
White Paper In shared mesh restoration, a distributed signaling protocol is used to reroute connections from failed service paths to restoration paths upon failure events. However, even when the network contains sufficient capacity, the restoration paths could... [18 Jul 2008]
Connection Management in Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks
White Paper The paper surveys centralized, distributed and hybrid connection setup mechanisms, each of which attempts to optimize the connection setup process. It also implements a simulator to study a distributed connection management protocol. [18 Jul 2008]
VFMAs, Virtual-Flow Multipath Algorithms for MPLS
White Paper A centralized and a distributed routing algorithms are proposed, which aggregate IP flows entering the MPLS domain, and optimally partition them among virtual flows that are forwarded on multiple paths according to their Quality of Service (QoS... [18 Jul 2008]
Federated Grid Clusters Using Service Address Routed Optical Networks
White Paper Clusters of computers have emerged as cost-effective parallel and/or distributed computing systems for computationally intensive tasks. Normally, clusters are composed of high performance computational nodes linked together by low-latency/high... [18 Jul 2008]
Optical Switching Middleware for the OptIPuter
White Paper The OptIPuter is a radical distributed visualization, teleimmersion, data mining and computing architecture. Observing that the exponential growth rates in bandwidth and storage are now much higher than Moore's Law, this major new project of... [18 Jul 2008]
The Essential Guide to Deploying MPLS for Enterprise Networks
White Paper MPLS has received broad market attraction in service provider networks and now enterprises are increasingly connecting the distributed and extended enterprise via MPLS-based Wide Area Networks (WANs) or deploying their own private MPLS networks. [18 Jul 2008]
Study of Network on Chip Resources Allocation for QoS Management
White Paper A network on chip draws on concepts inherited from distributed systems and computer networks subject areas to interconnect IP cores in a structured and scalable way. The increasing complexity of integrated circuits and application requirements... [18 Jul 2008]
Middleware and Management Support for Programmable QoS-Network Architectures
White Paper This paper focuses on management and middleware support for incremental updating of code and policies on various levels of granularity in time and space and on code deployment in vastly large distributed systems such as a networking infrastructure. [18 Jul 2008]
