- The Gridbus Toolkit for Service Oriented Grid and Utility Computing: An Overview and Status Report
- Grids aim at exploiting synergies that result from cooperation of autonomous distributed entities. The synergies that result from grid cooperation include the sharing, exchange, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources such as computers, data bases, software, and scientific instruments for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce. For...

- An Efficient Filter for Denial-of-Service Bandwidth Attacks
- This paper presents an efficient method for detecting and filtering denial-of-service bandwidth attacks. The system called TOPS Tabulated Online Packet Statistics can monitor a large number of network addresses in a compact, fixed-size structure using several effective heuristics. The paper demonstrates that TOPS can detect bandwidth attacks in a standard...

- Intrusion Detection Systems and a View to Its Forensic Applications
- Traditional computer security has often emphasised prevention, and to a lesser degree, the detection of system security violations. However, it is recognised that the forensic aspect to the overall model of computer security is equally as important. The area of computer forensics lends itself heavily to the response of a...

- An Evaluation Technique for Network Intrusion Detection Systems
- Various algorithms have been developed to identify different types of network intrusions; however there is no heuristic to confirm the accuracy of their results. The exact effectiveness of a network intrusion detection system's ability to identify malicious sources cannot be reported unless a concise measurement of performance is available. This...

- A Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Intrusion Detection System
- Many types of network intrusions occur in multiple networks simultaneously, for example, scanning, worms, and denial-of-service attacks. Most of the current intrusion detection systems work in isolation to detect these attacks. Past research has shown that collaboration between these networks to share suspicious information is an effective way to detect...

- Lossy Bulk Synchronous Parallel Processing Model for Very Large Scale Grids
- The performance of a parallel algorithm in a very large scale grid is significantly influenced by the underlying Internet protocols and inter-connectivity. Many grid programming platforms use TCP due to its reliability, usually with some optimizations to reduce its costs. However, TCP does not perform well in a high bandwidth...

- Cost-Based Scheduling of Scientific Workflow Applications on Utility Grids
- Over the last few years, Grid technologies have progressed towards a service-oriented paradigm that enables a new way of service provisioning based on utility computing models. Users consume these services based on their QoS Quality of Service requirements. In such "pay-per-use" Grids, workflow execution cost must be considered during scheduling...
