- An Autonomic Approach to Denial of Service Defence
- Denial of service attacks, viruses and worms are common tools for malicious adversarial behaviour in networks. This paper proposes the use of their autonomic routing protocol, the Cognitive Packet Network CPN, as a means to defend nodes from Distributed Denial of Service Attacks DDoS, where one or more attackers generate...

- Service Level Agreement Specification, Compliance Prediction and Monitoring With Performance Trees
- Service Level Agreements SLAs are widely used throughout industry but suffer from specification ambiguities and difficulties in predicting and monitoring compliance. To address these issues, the paper proposes the use of the Performance Tree formalism for the specification and monitoring of Service Level Agreements SLAs. Specifically, the paper shows how...

- Using Argumentation Logic for Firewall Policy Specification and Analysis
- Firewalls are important perimeter security mechanisms that implement an organisation's network security requirements and can be notoriously difficult to configure correctly. Given their widespread use, it is crucial that network administrators have tools to translate their security requirements into firewall configuration rules and ensure that these rules are consistent with...

- 3-D pictures taken inside nanocrystals
- Taking 'photographs' of individual molecules in action is probably not on the list of your next summer vacation. However, an international team of scientists from Australia, England and the U.S. has found a way to get full 3-D images of the interior of nanocrystals. Their technique, known as coherent X-ray...

- Converting proteins into crystals
- As you might know, proteins need to be transformed into 3-D crystals before their atomic structures and their properties can be analyzed. And production of high quality crystals from proteins has been a difficult task until now. But scientists in the U.K. have successfully used a porous medium, or 'nucleant,'...

- 100 GB of storage for your cell phone?
- British nanotechnologists have emulated the functions usually associated with transistor-based digital electronics in all-metallic nanoscale devices made from ferromagnetic materials. This technology could lead to three-dimensional microchips with tremendous memory capacities. These devices, which can be described as "MRAM that can think," mimic the functions of the brain. The design...

- Scientists replicate the physics of a stellar jet in laboratory
- Astronomers will tell you that among the most beautiful structures observed in the Universe are the intricate jets of matter speeding away from accreting stars, such as young proto-stars and stellar mass black holes. But they have a hard time explaining it. A pair of professors the University of Rochester...

- How silicon-based drugs could treat cancer
- The lives of almost living organisms on Earth, including ourselves, are carbon-based. And when were sick, were exclusively treated with carbon-based medicines. But now, a team of chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison had a bright idea. Why not replace carbon atoms by silicon atoms? And by modifying a drug...

- A laser that sees through solid objects
- It's always fascinating to see that scientists still want -- and sometimes succeed -- to challenge an Einstein's theory. This time, physicists from the U.K. and Switzerland have shown that a laser can work even if less than half of the light-amplifying material is in an 'excited' state. For their...
