Towards an Active Network Architecture

by David L. Tennenhouse, David J. Wetherall - Computer Communication Review , 1996
"... Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit ..."

a massive increase in the sophistication of the computation that is performed within the network. They will enable new applications, especially those based on application-specific multicast, information fusion, and other services that leverage network-based computation and storage. Furthermore

Semantic matching of web services capabilities

by Massimo Paolucci, Takahiro Kawamura, Terry R. Payne, Katia Sycara , 2002
"... Abstract. The Web is moving from being a collection of pages toward a collection of services that interoperate through the Internet. The first step toward this interoperation is the location of other services that can help toward the solution of a problem. In this paper we claim that location of web ..."

Cloud Computing and Emerging IT Platforms: Vision, Hype, and Reality for Delivering Computing as the 5th Utility

by Rajkumar Buyya, Chee Shin Yeo, Srikumar Venugopal, James Broberg, Ivona Brandic , 2008
"... With the significant advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) over the last half century, there is an increasingly perceived vision that computing will one day be the 5th utility (after water, electricity, gas, and telephony). This computing utility, like all other four existing u ..."
Abstract - Cited by 656 (63 self) - Add to MetaCart
in industries along with our current work towards realizing market-oriented resource allocation of Clouds as realized in Aneka enterprise Cloud technology. Furthermore, we highlight the difference between High Performance Computing (HPC) workload and Internet-based services workload. We also describe a meta

The Performance of TCP/IP for Networks with High Bandwidth-Delay Products and Random Loss.

by Member, IEEE T V Lakshman , Senior Member, IEEE Upamanyu Madhow - IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking, , 1997
"... Abstract-This paper examines the performance of TCP/IP, the Internet data transport protocol, over wide-area networks (WANs) in which data traffic could coexist with real-time traffic such as voice and video. Specifically, we attempt to develop a basic understanding, using analysis and simulation, ..."

). The following key results are obtained. First, random loss leads to significant throughput deterioration when the product of the loss probability and the square of the bandwidth-delay product is larger than one. Second, for multiple connections sharing a bottleneck link, TCP is grossly unfair toward connections

ALMI: An Application Level Multicast Infrastructure

by Dimitrios Pendarakis, Dinesh Verma, Sherlia Shi, Marcel Waldvogel , 2001
"... The IP multicast model allows scalable and efficient multi-party communication, particularly for groups of large size. However, deployment of IP multicast requires substantial infrastructure modifications and is hampered by a host of unresolved open problems. To circumvent this situation, we have de ..."
Abstract - Cited by 335 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
designed and implemented ALMI, an application level group communication middleware, which allows accelerated application deployment and simplified network configuration, without the need of network infrastructure support. ALMI is tailored toward support of multicast groups of relatively small size (several

Steps Toward an Ecology of Infrastructure: Design and Access for Large Information Spaces

by Susan Leigh Star, Karen Ruhleder - Information Systems Research , 1996
"... We analyze a large-scale custom software effort, the Worm Community system (WCS), a collaborative system designed for a geographically dispersed community of geneticists. There were complex challenges in creating this infrastructural tool, ranging from simple lack of resources to complex organizatio ..."

in the Internet and its utilities (1991-1994), and many respondents turned to the World Wide Web for their information exchange. Using Bateson’s model of levels of learning, we analyze the levels of infrastructural complexity involved in system access and designeruser communication. We analyze the connection

Controlling high bandwidth aggregates in the network

by Ratul Mahajan, Steven M. Bellovin, Sally Floyd, John Ioannidis, Vern Paxson, Scott Shenker - ACM Computer Communication Review , 2002
"... The current Internet infrastructure has very few built-in protection mechanisms, and is therefore vulnerable to attacks and failures. In particular, recent events have illustrated the Internet’s vulnerability to both denial of service (DoS) attacks and flash crowds in which one or more links in the ..."

Modeling the World from Internet Photo Collections

by Noah Snavely, Steven M. Seitz, Richard Szeliski - INT J COMPUT VIS , 2007
"... There are billions of photographs on the Internet, comprising the largest and most diverse photo collection ever assembled. How can computer vision researchers exploit this imagery? This paper explores this question from the standpoint of 3D scene modeling and visualization. We present structure-fro ..."
Abstract - Cited by 267 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
these algorithms and results as a first step towards 3D modeling of the world’s well-photographed sites, cities, and landscapes from Internet imagery, and discusses key open problems and challenges for the research community.

Scalability and Accuracy in a Large-Scale Network Emulator
