An Information-Theoretical View of Network-Aware Malware Attacks

This paper investigates three aspects: a network vulnerability as the non-uniform vulnerable-host distribution, threats, i.e., intelligent malwares that exploit such a vulnerability, and defense, i.e., challenges for fighting the threats. They first study five large data sets and observe consistent clustered vulnerable-host distributions. They then present a new metric, referred...

Efficient Native Storage Systems for Semi-Structured Data

Semi-structured data is becoming commonplace with examples such as XML, Bioinformatics suffix-trees, scientific computing data, and even generic directory-file hierarchies. Such semi-structured data must be stored on mass storage devices for persistence as well as cost-efficiency. Current approaches, which map semi-structured data to relational databases or simply use flat files,...
