- Cloud Computing Challenges and Related Security Issues
- The field of cloud computing is still in its infancy as far as implementation and usage, partly because it is heavily promoted by technology advancement and is so high resource dependent that researches in academic institutions have not had many opportunities to analyze and experiment with it. However, cloud computing...

- Defending Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks With Weight-Fair Router Throttling
- A high profile internet server is always a target of denial-of-service attacks. This paper proposes a novel technique for protecting an internet server from distributed denial-of-service attacks. The defense mechanism is based on a distributed algorithm that performs weight-fair throttling at the upstream routers. The throttling is weight-fair because the...

- Middleware Support for Aperiodic Tasks in Distributed Real-Time Systems
- Many mission-critical distributed real-time applications must handle aperiodic tasks with end-to-end deadlines. However, existing middleware (e.g., RT-CORBA) lacks schedulability analysis and run-time enforcement mechanisms needed to give online real-time guarantees for aperiodic tasks. The primary contribution of this paper is the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of the first realization...

- Integrated Adaptive QoS Management in Middleware: An Empirical Case Study
- Distributed Real-time and Embedded DRE systems in which application requirements and environmental conditions may not be known a priori - or which may vary at run-time - can benefit from an adaptive approach to management of Quality-of-Service QoS to meet key constraints, such as end-to-end timeliness. This paper offers two...

- Streaming Data From Disk Store to Application
- Filesystem read performance is a critical issue for many applications. On the other hand, storage systems are typically configured with little or no knowledge of the properties of the applications that will use them. This paper presents empirical performance measurements of data throughput from disk store to application. A number...

- Automatic Application-Specific Customization of Multi-Processor Microarchitecture
- Reconfigurable logic devices offer new and interesting opportunities for application-specific customization and processor configuration. However, the most compelling optimization problems in this area are NP-hard. This paper customized the microarchitecture of a single processor core for a target application by viewing it as a multi-objective constrained integer nonlinear optimization problem....

- Smartacking: Improving TCP Performance From the Receiving End
- This paper presents smartacking, a technique that improves performance of Transmission Control Protocol TCP via adaptive generation of acknowledgments ACKs at the receiver. When the bottleneck link is underutilized, the receiver transmits an ACK for each delivered data segment and thereby allows the connection to acquire the available capacity promptly....

- Robust TCP Stream Reassembly in the Presence of Adversaries
- There is a growing interest in designing high-speed network devices to perform packet processing at semantic levels above the network layer. Some examples are layer-7 switches, content inspection and transformation systems, and network intrusion detection/ prevention systems. Such systems must maintain per-flow state in order to correctly perform their higher-level...
