Design of a Crawler With Bounded Bandwidth
White Paper The prediction allows to activate the optimal number of fetcher threads in order to exploit the assigned bandwidth. This paper presents an algorithm to bound the bandwidth of a Web crawler. The crawler collects statistics on the transfer rate of... [10 Jul 2008]
LOBS: Load Balancing for Similarity Peer-to-Peer Structures
White Paper LOBS is based on the following principles: measuring the computational load of the peers, separation of the logical and the physical level of the system, and detailed analysis of the load source to exploit either data relocation or data replication. [10 Jul 2008]
Close the Zero-Hour Gap: Protection from Emerging Virus Threats
White Paper To exploit the "zero hour gap," or the time it takes to identify attacking malware and write signatures that detect and neutralize it, virus writers are using several new distribution strategies -- so-called "short-span" and "serial-variant" attacks. [09 Jul 2008]
