Realizing Cost and Energy Savings on Campus: Members of the Sustainability Advisory Committee at the University of California, Davis, are always looking for ways to help meet the campus's aggressive goals for reducing energy usage and waste. University of California, wanted to reduce energy and paper use from computer printing on campus leading to reduced greenhouse gas...; Tags: Hewlett-Packard Co., University Of California, Printers, Document Management, Hardware, Peripherals, Enterprise Software, Software, Finance, Managerial Accounting; Case studies 2009-06-01
Spamcraft: An Inside Look at Spam Campaign Orchestration: This paper has presented a detailed study of spam campaign orchestration as observed in the wild. Their investigation was enabled by a long-term infiltration of the Storm botnet, comprising both passive probing and active manipulation of the botnet's C&C traffic. Their study includes over 800,000 spam templates, more than 3...; Tags: Anti-spam, Spamming, E-mail Address, University Of California, Spam, E-mail, Viruses And Worms, Security, Spam And Phishing, Online Communications; White papers 2009-04-24
Social Networks and Contract Enforcement in IT Outsourcing: Most prior research on Information Technology Outsourcing has characterized the dominant governance modes as either 'Formal' or 'Relational,' which rely on stringent assumptions of perfect foresight or about the extent to which one party can punish unilateral deviations by the other. Based on a large dataset of publically announced IT...; Tags: Social Networking, Network, Information Technology, IT Outsourcing, University Of California, Managed Hosting, Outsourcing, It Services, Strategy, It Operations, Business Operations, Outsourcing & Subcontracting, Management; White papers 2009-02-17
An Architecture for Highly Available Wide-Area Service Composition: Service composition provides a flexible way to quickly enable new application functionalities in next generation networks. This paper focus on the scenario where next generation portal providers "Compose" the component services of other providers.

Ad Hoc Wireless Multicast With Mobility Prediction: An ad hoc wireless network is an infrastructureless network composed of mobile hosts. The primary concerns in ad hoc networks are bandwidth limitations and unpredictable topology changes. Thus, efficient utilization of routing packets and immediate recovery of route breaks are critical in routing and multicasting protocols. A multicast scheme, On-Demand...; Tags: Advertisement, Mobile, Network, Mobility, Multicasting, University Of California, ODMRP, Managed Hosting, Wireless And Mobility; White papers 2009-01-01

Spam Filtering Using a Markov Random Field Model With Variable Weighting Schemas: This paper presents a Markov Random Field model based approach to filter spam. Their approach examines the importance of the neighborhood relationship MRF cliques among words in an email message for the purpose of spam classification. They propose and test several different theoretical bases for weighting schemes among corresponding neighborhood...; Tags: Spam Filtering, University Of California, E-mail, Spam, Construction, Viruses And Worms, Security, Online Communications, Spam And Phishing; White papers 2009-01-01
Using the Triangle Inequality to Accelerate k-Means: The k-means algorithm is by far the most widely used method for discovering clusters in data. The paper shows how to accelerate it dramatically, while still always computing exactly the same result as the standard algorithm. The accelerated algorithm avoids unnecessary distance calculations by applying the triangle inequality in two...; Tags: Algorithm, Inequality, University Of California, K-means Algorithm, Engineering; White papers 2009-01-01
Tribology and Nano-Tribology Problems in Data Storage on Hard Disks: In current "State of the art" disk drives, the flying height between slider and disk is on the order of 10 nm. The flying height will need to be reduced to approximately 3 nm to meet future storage density goals. At a spacing of 3 nm, severe tribological problems will...; Tags: Hard Drive, Data Storage, University Of California, Storage, Hardware; White papers 2008-12-04
Reformulation of XML Queries and Constraints: The authors state and solve the query reformulation problem for XML publishing in a general setting that allows mixed XML and relational storage for the proprietary data and exploits redundancies (materialized views, indexes and caches) to enhance performance. The correspondence between published and proprietary schemas is specified by views in...; Tags: Algorithm, XML Query, University Of California, XML, Engineering, Software/Web Development, Web Development; White papers 2008-10-18
Sketch-Based Summarization of Ordered XML Streams: XML streams, such as RSS feeds or complex event streams, are becoming increasingly pervasive as they provide the foundation for a wide range of emerging applications. An important problem in this context is the realization of continuous queries that can support on-line monitoring and analysis of the streaming XML data....; Tags: University Of California, XML, Productivity, Software/Web Development, Web Development; White papers 2008-07-14
WG: Requirements for Network Monitoring From an IDS Perspective: Detection of malicious traffic is based on its input data, the information that is coming from network-based monitoring systems. Best detection rates would only be possible by monitoring all data transferred over all network lines in a distributed network. Monitoring and reporting this amount of data are feasible in neither...; Tags: Network, Monitoring, Network Monitoring, University Of California, Networking; White papers 2008-05-20
Nomatic*IM 0.0.5 (Mac): "Nomatic*IM will provide a service that supports the convenient, and appropriate broadcasting of presence through instant messaging clients. It will provide the flexibility to support multiple IM protocols, IM clients, and operating systems."; Tags: Irvine, Apple Macintosh, IM, University Of California, Instant Messaging, Internet, Online Communications; Software downloads 2008-05-08
On the Spam Campaign Trail: Over the last decade, unsolicited bulk email, or spam, has transitioned from a minor nuisance to a major scourge, adversely affecting virtually every Internet user. Industry estimates suggest that the total daily volume of spam now exceeds 120 billion messages per day; even if the actual figure is 10 times...; Tags: Internet User, University Of California, E-mail, Internet, Online Communications; White papers 2008-04-06
Power Efficiency in High Performance Computing: This paper provides power measurements for various computational loads on the largest scale HPC systems ever involved in such an assessment. This paper demonstrates clearly that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the power consumed while running the High Performance Linpack HPL benchmark is very close to the power consumed by any...; Tags: Measurement, High-performance Computing, High-performance, University Of California, Cloud Computing, Leadership, Performance Management, Management, Human Resources, Workforce Management; White papers 2008-01-28
Uncoordinated Load Balancing and Congestion Games in P2P Systems: In P2P systems, users often have many choices of peers from whom to download their data. Each user cares primarily about its own response time, which depends on how many other users also choose that same peer. This interaction is best modeled as a game among self-interested agents, which is...; Tags: Load Balancing, P2P, University Of California, Games, Peer To Peer (P2P), Network Technology, Personal Technology, Internet, Networking; White papers 2008-01-01
