- The Virtual Processor Interface: Linux Kernel Support for User-Level Thread Systems
- Despite an increasing need for thread support in language run-time systems and parallel libraries such as in Java and OpenMP, there is limited support for custom, multiprocessor capable, user-level thread systems in the Linux kernel. To address this lack of support the authors have developed the Virtual Processor Interface VPI...

- TechNet Webcast: Threat Mitigation for Legacy Systems (Level 200)
- Legacy computer systems are often the focus of unwanted attention from attackers because their existence implies an elevated level of trust or interaction with internal applications that are critical to the organization. Given that legacy systems are already perceived as vulnerable, this makes them a natural choice for further scrutiny...

- Systems Research Challenges: A Scale-Out Perspective
- The dominant programming model for such systems consists of message passing at the systems level and multithreading at the element level. Today, exploiting scale-out at all levels in systems is becoming imperative in order to overcome a fundamental discontinuity in the development of microprocessor technology caused by power dissipation. The...

- Impeding Attrition Attacks in P2P Systems
- P2P systems are exposed to an unusually broad range of attacks. These include a spectrum of denial-of-service or attrition attacks from low-level packet flooding to high-level abuse of the peer communication protocol. This paper identifies a set of defenses that systems can deploy against such attacks and potential synergies among...

- SLA Decomposition: Translating Service Level Objectives to System Level Thresholds
- In today's complex and highly dynamic computing environments, systems/services have to be constantly adjusted to meet Service Level Agreements SLAs and to improve resource utilization, thus reducing operating cost. Traditional design of such systems usually involves domain experts who implicitly translate Service Level Objectives SLOs specified in SLAs to system-level...

- Dynamic SLA-Negotiation Based on WS-Agreement
- A typical task of a grid level scheduling service is the orchestration and coordination of resources in the grid. Especially the co-allocation of resources makes high demands on this service. Co-allocation requires the grid level scheduler to coordinate resource management systems located in different domains. Provided that the site autonomy...

- Implementing an SLM Solution
- Service Level Indicators SLIs are at the heart of any SLA Service Level Agreement. They allow SLM Service Level Management to be measured and quantified. Ideally, service level indicators should allow quality to be quantified, reflect users' pain points and priorities, include detailed measurements for availability, performance and accuracy, take...

- A Classification-Based Approach to Policy Refinement
- Systems are typically designed based on certain high-level goals, such as performance and availability. On the other hand, during operation, usually only low level metrics (e.g., CPU utilization) are measured, and system administrators or experts use domain knowledge to implicitly map bounds on these lower level metrics such that the...

- Generic Application-Level Protocol Analyzer and Its Language
- Application-level protocol analyzers are important components in tools such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and network monitors. Currently, protocol analyzers are written in an ad-hoc fashion using low-level languages such as C, incurring a high development cost and security risks inherent in low-level language programming. Motivated by the large number...

- Effective Awk Programming: Text Processing and Pattern Matching - Internationalization With Gawk
- Once upon a time, computer makers wrote software that worked only in English. Eventually, hardware and software vendors noticed that if their systems worked in the native languages of non-English-speaking countries, they were able to sell more systems. As a result, internationalization and localization of programs and software systems became...

- Attrition Defenses for a Peer-to-Peer Digital Preservation System
- In peer-to-peer systems, attrition attacks include both traditional, network-level denial of service attacks as well as application-level attacks in which malign peers conspire to waste loyal peers' resources. This paper describes several defenses for the LOCKSS peer-to-peer digital preservation system that help ensure that application level attrition attacks even from...
