Detecting Application-Level Failures in Component-Based Internet Services

Most Internet services (e-commerce, search engines, etc.) suffer faults. Quickly detecting these faults can be the largest bottleneck in improving availability of the system. This paper presents Pinpoint, a methodology for automating fault detection in Internet services by: observing low-level, internal structural behaviors of the service; modeling the majority behavior...

Emergent (Mis)behavior Vs. Complex Software Systems

Complex systems often behave in unexpected ways that are not easily predictable from the behavior of their components; this is known as emergent behavior. As software systems grow in complexity, interconnectedness, and geographic distribution, one will increasingly face unwanted emergent behavior. Unpredictable software systems are hard to debug and hard...

Killer Game Programming in Java: Flocking Boids

Flocking is a computer model for the coordinated motion of groups (or flocks) of entities called boids. Flocking represents group movement - as seen in bird flocks and fish schools - as combinations of steering behaviors for individual boids, based on the position and velocities of nearby flockmates. Though individual...

Putting the dynamic in your DHTML

With Internet Explorer, you can attach behaviors to HTML elements, creating an object-oriented approach to page design. Phillip Perkins creates <DIV> objects contained in a bounding <DIV> that, when the user drags it, will continue on their directed courses within the bounding <DIV>. Macromedia Flash allows developers and designers...

An Empirical Characterization of Wireless Network behavior

Existing work on understanding 802.11 wireless network behavior has been largely unsatisfactory for practical settings. Widely used simulators rely on unrealistic assumptions about signal propagation, while more detailed radio models are too complex to configure for predicting performance of an actual wireless system. To gain a more accurate understanding of...

Using RFID to Evaluate Evacuation behavior Models

This paper presents an object-oriented approach for using real-world location data for the evaluation of evacuation behavior models. When constructing a new building or planning how an existing one will be used, safe evacuation is extremely important. Currently many models exist to simulate a building evacuation, using information from the...

behavior-Based Spyware Detection

Spyware is rapidly becoming a major security issue. Spyware programs are surreptitiously installed on a user's workstation to monitor his/her actions and gather private information about a user's behavior. Current anti-spyware tools operate in a way similar to traditional anti-virus tools, where signatures associated with known spyware programs are checked...

Using Steady-State TCP behavior for Proactive Queue Management

This paper describes and evaluates the use of steady-state TCP behavior knowledge for Proactive Queue Management (PQM). It shows how routers can use flow parameters and the knowledge of TCP end-host behavior to intelligently mark packets to prevent queue build-up, and thus prevent congestion from ever occurring, while at the...

TCP Congestion Control With a Misbehaving Receiver

This paper explores the operation of TCP congestion control when the receiver can misbehave, as might occur with a greedy Web client. The paper first demonstrates that there are simple attacks that allow a misbehaving receiver to drive a standard TCP sender arbitrarily fast, without losing end-to-end reliability. These attacks...

A Benchmark Suite for behavior-Based Security Mechanisms

This paper presents a benchmark suite for evaluating behavior-based security mechanisms. Behavior-based mechanisms are used to protect computer systems from intrusion and detect malicious code embedded in legitimate applications. They complement signature-based mechanisms (e.g., anti-virus products) by tackling zero-day attacks that have no signatures extracted yet, as well as polymorphous...
