Attackers are increasingly abusing legitimate network management tools to camouflage their attacks on corporate networks, according to a report by security vendor CrowdStrike. The report found a 70% year-over-year increase [...]

A new queue management scheme for reducing queue oscillation at a congested link is presented. Results suggest the capability of the proposed scheme in reducing queue oscillation and in maintaining high utilization with small queue length.

A model for a large software system, which is a statistical ensemble of variables embedded in a logical environment that controls their microscopic behavior, is presented. Using a statistical mechanics approach to this model, the macroscopic attributes of software that are analogous to volume, pressure, and temperature of physical systems are identified.

The way in which declarative command processor (DCP) makes it possible to develop multi-vendor services software rapidly at reduced cost is presented. The key concepts of DCP are data-driven programming, declarative programming and extensible markup language (XML)- based automation techniques.

The enforcement of end-to-end quality of service (QoS) for Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based sessions in CDMA2000* networks is discussed. It is seen that the IMS elements work together, which assist QoS negotiation on the control plane and traffic enforcement on the bearer plane.

Overview There is a well-identified empirical connection between the intensity of competition in product markets and better productivity performance (OECD, 2002a). In general, competitive pressures appear to be relatively strong [...]

In a multiclass network of queues, natural sufficient conditions are given for the mean number-in-system vector to cover the nonnegative orthant as the arrival rate vector varies over the stable [...]

An engineering approach for testing and verification of network management and design tools is described. A set of handy principles, algorithms, and testing architectures are developed that have worked very well in practice and have achieved remarkable results.

Whether you're trying to manage a network of 10 or 10,000 Unix-based devices, network management software promises to automate and simplify the task. The solutions, jointly provided by workstation manufacturers […]

Byline: Leslie S. Hiraoka Global-local (glocal) knowledge networks were instrumental in the development of India's outsourced software sector beginning with the building of the nation's educational infrastructure of state-funded technical and management institutes and private engineering colleges. These networks expanded as graduates sought higher education and employment opportunities abroad. New software firms also sent project teams to foreign client sites to undertake outsourced work. Technological knowledge clusters formed in cities such as Mumbai and Bangalore and, when cost pressures mounted, these enclaves began to perform the offshore outsourcing work for North American MNCs like TI, Citibank, Nortel Networks, and GE.
