- Computer Lab to Go: A "Cloud" Computing Implementation
- This paper describes the experience with a pilot deployment of a virtual computer laboratory at a medium sized public university. The virtual computer laboratory pilot is a technology transfer of the virtual computer laboratory developed by North Carolina State University. The technology provides scalable, high performance computing resources requested through...

- SigLM: Signature-Driven Load Management for Cloud Computing Infrastructures
- Cloud computing has emerged as a promising platform that grants users with direct yet shared access to computing resources and services without worrying about the internal complex infrastructure. Unlike traditional batch service model, cloud service model adopts a pay-as-you-go form, which demands explicit and precise resource control. This paper, presents...

- Service Performance and Analysis in Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing is a new cost-efficient computing paradigm in which information and computer power can be accessed from a Web browser by customers. Understanding the characteristics of computer service performance has become critical for service applications in cloud computing. For the commercial success of this new computing paradigm, the ability...

- Protection Poker: Structuring Software Security Risk Assessment and Knowledge Transfer
- Discovery of security vulnerabilities is on the rise. As a result, software development teams must place a higher priority on preventing the injection of vulnerabilities in software as it is developed. Because the focus on software security has increased only recently, software development teams often do not have expertise in...

- Optimal Granularity of MPLS Tunnels
- This paper considers the problem of tunneling MPLS Label Switched Paths LSPs over an optical network in which â-channels lightpaths of a fixed capacity are the main mechanism of transport. While any set of LSPs, each LSP having an arbitrary rate, can be tunneled over a given â-channel as long...

- Delivering Multi-Sheet Excel Reports From a Parameterized Stored Process
- The advantage of using parameterized stored procedures is the ability to make functionality available to a wide audience through any number of interfaces. When the flexibility of stored processes is combined with the options provided by ODS, the possibilities are many. This tutorial will demonstrate the importance and usefulness of...

- Measuring Bandwidth Signatures of Network Paths
- This paper proposes a practical and efficient technique, Forecaster, to estimate the end-to-end available bandwidth, and the speed of the most congested tight link along an Internet path. Forecaster is practical since it does not assume any a priori knowledge about the measured path, does not make any simplifying assumptions...

- CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant
- This paper presents a new TCP variant, called CUBIC, for high-speed network environments. CUBIC is an enhanced version of BIC: it simplifies the BIC window control and improves its TCP-friendliness and RTT-fairness. The window growth function of CUBIC is governed by a cubic function in terms of the elapsed time...

- On the Stability-Scalability Tradeoff of DHT Deployment
- Distributed Hash Tables DHTs provide efficient data naming and location with simple hash-table-like primitives, upon which sophisticated distributed applications can be built. DHT users provide free but unstable Peer-to-Peer (P2P) capacity. With stable DHT nodes being relatively scarce, a DHT can either rely on a small set of stable nodes...

- Impact of Background Traffic on Performance of High-Speed TCP Variant Protocols
- This paper examines the effect of background traffic on the performance of existing high-speed TCP variant protocols, namely BIC-TCP, CUBIC, FAST, HSTCP, H-TCP and Scalable TCP. It also demonstrates that the stability, link utilization, convergence speed and fairness of the protocols are clearly affected by the variability of flow sizes...

- Using In-Process Testing Metrics to Estimate Software Reliability: A Feasibility Study
- In industry, information on field reliability of a product becomes available too late in the software development process to affordably guide any corrective actions. A step towards remediation of this problem lies in the ability to provide an early estimation of software reliability. This paper presents a suite of in-process...

- Firewall Design Principles
- A network security domain is a contiguous region of a network that operates under a single, uniform security policy. Whenever domains intersect, there is a potential need for security to control traffic allowed into the network. Firewall technology can be used to filter this traffic. The most common boundary where...

- Janus particles as body submarines?
- Janus particles, which take their name from a Roman god with two faces, are microscopic 'two-faced' spheres whose halves are physically or chemically different. Now, U.S. researchers have shown that some of these Janus microparticles can move like stealthy submarines when an alternating electrical field is applied to liquid surrounding...
