Visionary 2009: Jim Clark on the importance of Stanford university to Silicon Valley: Jim Clark, co-founder of Silicon Graphics and Netscape was one of four winners of the SDForum 2009 Visionary Awards. He spoke about his earlier life and how he was trying to get out of Texas, then trying to get out of the navy. He also spoke about the importance...; Tags: Silicon Valley, Stanford University, Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, Management, Tom Foremski; Blog posts 2009-07-01
Using Semantic Analysis to Classify Search Engine Spam: Due to the similarities between spam and non-spam their original semantic analyzers are not an effective method to classify spam content. Since spam and non-spam documents are so similar, it is sometimes very difficult for a human to differentiate between the two. Because of these similarities, it is unlikely that...; Tags: Search Engine, Stanford University, Natural Language, Analysis; White papers 2009-01-01

An Empirical Investigation of Opportunistic Programming: Interleaving Web Foraging, Learning, and Writing Code: This paper investigates the role of online resources in problem solving. The paper looks specifically at how programmers - an exemplar form of knowledge workers - opportunistically interleave Web foraging, learning, and writing code. The paper describes two studies of how programmers use online resources. The first study, conducted in...; Tags: Web, Stanford University, Programmer, Development Tools, Channel Management, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Marketing; White papers 2008-09-24
Stanford University data breach leaks sensitive information of approximately 62,000 employees: Stanford University data breach leaks sensitive information of approximately 62,000 employeesNo end to these breaches.As long as we're dealing with human beings, breaches of this sort will happen again, and again. The only solution is to enforce full disk encryption, and any employee not doing that would face a firing...; Tags: data breach, Stanford University, sensitive information; Discussion threads 2008-06-23

Stanford University data breach leaks sensitive information of approximately 62,000 employees: A data breach resulting from a stolen laptop has leaked sensitive information including Social Security Numbers of approximately 62,000 as reported by Stanford UniversityÂ former and current Standford University employees.Â The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a site devoted to the collection of data breach information, reports this number as 72,000, and I'm...; Tags: Sensitive Information, Stanford University, Data, Information, Stanford, Laptop Computer, Kroll, Notebooks, Hardware, Notebooks & Tablets, Nathan McFeters; Blog posts 2008-06-23
Stanford University Improves Security, Reduces Risk With High-Performance Firewall for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Campus Network: As core business processes and academic collaboration increasingly take place over the Web, Stanford University realized it needed to take steps to mitigate the risks that confidential information could be lost, either because of intentional acts or accidental exposure. Academic departments and schools were responsible for their own network security...; Tags: Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, Network, Stanford University, Juniper Networks Inc., High-performance, Firewalls, Networking, Network Security, Security; Case studies 2008-05-01

Decoupling Wide-Area Networks From Vacuum Tubes in Multicast Approaches: In recent years, much research has been devoted to the visualization of superblocks; on the other hand, few have evaluated the analysis of Boolean logic. In fact, few biologists would disagree with the emulation of information retrieval systems, which embodies the robust principles of networking. WEB, the new system for...; Tags: Network, Stanford University, Information Retrieval, WAN; White papers 2008-01-30
Measuring End-to-End Bandwidth With Iperf Using Web100: End-to-end bandwidth estimation tools like Iperf though fairly accurate are intrusive. This paper describes how with an instrumented TCP stack (Web100), one can estimate the end-to-end bandwidth accurately, while consuming significantly less network bandwidth and time. The paper modified Iperf to use Web100 to detect the end of slow-start and...; Tags: Bandwidth, Network, Stanford University, Tcp/Ip, Networking; White papers 2008-01-01
ABwE: A Practical Approach to Available Bandwidth Estimation: This paper reports on a new tool developed for monitoring available bandwidth in the range from several Mbps to 1000 Mbps. The tool is based on the packet pair dispersion technique. It has been in experimental use at SLAC for several months and it has been demonstrated at iGrid2002 and...; Tags: Stanford University, Monitoring, Mbps, Productivity; White papers 2008-01-01
Landmark Selection and Greedy Landmark-Descent Routing for Sensor Networks: This paper study the problem of landmark selection for landmark-based routing in a network of fixed wireless communication nodes. It present a distributed landmark selection algorithm that does not rely on global clock synchronization, and a companion local greedy landmark-based routing scheme. The paper assumes no node location information, and...; Tags: Network, Stanford University, Sensor, Node, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers 2008-01-01
Evolution, Challenges and Enabling Technologies for Future WDM-Based Optical Access Networks: Upgrading current-generation Time Division Multiplexing TDM-based optical access networks will be a challenge in the future when end-user demand outgrows current network capacity. Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM has been considered as an ideal solution to extend the capacity of optical networks without drastically changing the fiber infrastructure. This paper investigates...; Tags: Microsoft Access, Network, Stanford University, WDM, Fiber, Wavelength Division Multiplexing, Networking, Optical Networking, Network Technology; White papers 2008-01-01
Flow-Cookies: Using Bandwidth Amplification to Defend Against DDoS Flooding Attacks: Distributed Denial-of-Service flooding attacks against public web servers are increasingly common. Websites without the ability to over-provision or rely on a CDN are often overwhelmed by such attacks. Existing proposals to combat flooding within the network either require substantial changes to the Internet infrastructure, or the difficult task of identifying...; Tags: Stanford University, Distributed Denial Of Service, Attack, Web Servers, Security, Internet; White papers 2008-01-01
Active Internet Traffic Filtering: Real-Time Response to Denial-of-Service Attacks: This paper describes Active Internet Traffic Filtering AITF, a mechanism for blocking highly Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS attacks. These attacks are an acute contemporary problem, with few practical solutions available today; this paper describes the reasons why no effective DDoS filtering mechanism has been deployed yet. The paper shows that the...; Tags: Denial Of Service, Router, Stanford University, Distributed Denial Of Service, Attack, Routers & Switches, Internet, Security, Network Technology, Networking; White papers 2008-01-01
Infrastructure-Establishment From Scratch in Wireless Sensor Networks: The paper presents a distributed, localized and integrated approach for establishing both low-level and high-level infrastructure in wireless sensor networks. More concretely, the proposed scheme constructs a subgraph of the unit-disk graph which is connected, planar and has power stretch factor of 1 (the well-known Gabriel graph intersected with the...; Tags: Network, Stanford University, Wireless Sensor Network, Wireless, Wi-Fi, Wireless And Mobility; White papers 2008-01-01
Interconnecting wind farms: Wind power is one the world's fastest growing electric energy source, but as wind is intermittent, a single wind farm cannot deliver a steady amount of energy. This is why scientists at Stanford University want to connect wind farms to develop a cheaper and reliable power source.
