- A 'simpler' invisibility cloak
- Still far from what you've seen on Star Trek, the development of technology to cloak objects--currently too small to see anyway--is heating up. Researchers at Purdue University report that they've created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs, works for all colors of the visible...

- High Fidelity Denial of Service (DoS) Experimentation
- Experimentation with security attacks introduces additional requirements compared to traditional networking and distributed system experiments. High capacity attack flows can push systems beyond their expected operational regions, and expose unexpected behaviors. Many popular simulation and emulation environments fail to account for such behaviors, and incorrect results have been reported based...

- Analysis of a Denial of Service Attack on TCP
- This paper analyzes a network-based denial of service attack for IP Internet Protocol based networks. It is popularly called SYN flooding. It works by an attacker sending many TCP Transmission Control Protocol connection requests with spoofed source addresses to a victim's machine. Each request causes the targeted host to instantiate...

- Towards low-cost LED lighting
- You all know that incandescent bulbs are pretty inefficient, converting only 10% of electricity into light -- and 90% into heat. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, could soon replace incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs in our homes. They are more efficient and environmentally friendly. But LED lights are currently too expensive...

- A refrigerator inside your laptop?
- Even if the semiconductor industry is working on it, computer chips are big energy spenders. And new cooling systems will be needed in the future. Purdue University engineers think they have a solution. They've developed a miniature refrigeration system small enough to fit inside laptops. Unlike conventional cooling systems, which...

- New approach gives Purdue serious computing power
- Purdue University will be replacing its current research computing clusters on May 5th with one of the world's largest supercomputers. While this isn't especially surprising at a school known for its computer science expertise, the funding model and installation are far more novel. Interestingly, the supercomputer,...

- A Uniform Transactional Execution Environment for Java
- Transactional Memory TM has recently emerged as an effective tool for extracting fine-grain parallelism from declarative critical sections. In order to make STM systems practical, significant effort has been made to integrate transactions into existing programming languages. Unfortunately, existing approaches fail to provide a simple implementation that permits lock-based and...

- Memory Management for Real-Time Java: State of the Art
- The Real-time Specification for Java extends the Java platform to support real-time processing and introduces a region-based memory model, called scoped memory, which side-steps the Java garbage collector. While scoped memory succeeds in protecting real-time tasks from execution time jitter, practical experience points to shortcomings. This paper takes stock of...

- Cellphones to detect dirty bombs?
- Purdue University engineers are developing a system which would use a U.S. network of cellphones to detect dirty bombs and nuclear weapons. They say that 'such a system could blanket the nation with millions of cellphones equipped with radiation sensors able to detect even light residues of radioactive material.' They...

- On the Effectiveness of Probabilistic Packet Marking for IP Traceback Under Denial of Service Attack
- Effective mitigation of Denial of Service DoS attack is a pressing problem on the Internet. In many instances, DoS attacks can be prevented if the spoofed source IP address is traced back to its origin which allows assigning penalties to the offending party or isolating the compromised hosts and domains...

- On Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming
- This paper studies a peer-to-peer media streaming system with the following characteristics: its streaming capacity grows dynamically; peers do not exhibit server-like behavior; peers are heterogeneous in their bandwidth contribution; and each streaming session may involve multiple supplying peers. Based on these characteristics, the paper investigates two problems: how to...
