- The Human Immune System and Network Intrusion Detection
- This paper reviews and assesses the analogy between the human immune system and network intrusion detection systems. The promising results from a growing number of proposed computer immune models for intrusion detection motivate this work. The paper begins by briefly introducing existing Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS's). A set of general...

- Using Real Options to Select Stable Middleware - Induced Software Architectures
- The requirements that force decisions towards building distributed system architectures are usually of non-functional nature. Scalability, openness, heterogeneity, and fault-tolerance are examples of such non-functional requirements. The current trend is to build distributed systems with middleware, which provide the application developer with primitives for managing the complexity of distribution, system...

- Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review
- The use of artificial immune systems in intrusion detection is an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading pathogens, in a robust, self-organised and distributed manner. Secondly, current techniques used in computer security are not...

- Efficient Monitoring of Web Service SLAs
- Web services are increasingly used in inter-organizational settings. If an organization depends on the service quality provided by another organization it often enters into a bilateral Service Level Agreement SLA to precisely determine service quality and permitted service use. SLAs then also determine penalty payments as risk mitigation against poor...

- TCP-Like Congestion Control for Layered Multicast Data Transfer
- This paper presents a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. The algorithm behaves similarly to TCP congestion control algorithms, and shares bandwidth fairly with other instances of the protocol and with TCP flows. It is entirely receiver driven and requires no...

- Why James Bond looks so healthy
- According to The Telegraph, shaken martinis might be the secret of Bond's success. In fact, two UK researchers, a psychologist and a chemist, are collaborating with a French bartender to prove that 'shaken, not stirred' martinis are different. They'll show the difference on June 4, 2008, during the Cheltenham Science...
