Wide Area Network Performance and Optimization: Practical Strategies for Success, 1st edition
Authors: Robert Lloyd-Evans
Venue:  (1996)

:This book provides a practical approach to the optimization of performance in Wide Area Networks. It covers all the main communications protocols and technologies likely to be used over wide areas, from simple asynchronous modems to ATM. It describes the type of performance that can be expected, the parameters that affect performance and how they can be tuned. The treatment of network performance is non-mathematical for maximum accessibility and the range of protocols covered is wide for maximum reference value. This book is roughly structured on OSI layers, with chapters concentrating on link level protocols, network level, transport level, routing and applications; covers issues including: the optimization of packet window sizes, the treatment of mixed interactive and file transfer traffic, mixed protocol networks and prioritization and what to do when these factors involve trade-offs between processor and memory; covers applications ranging from the traditional IP and IPX to the modern MPEG compressed video standards; has separate chapters on network management and design tools, and on the use of public networks; and includes an appendix of mathematical techniques implicit in optimization. This book will interest networking professionals responsible for the design, implementation and operation of communication networks: network managers and operators, network designers, consultants, network engineers and technical support personnel.

Video games challenge and motivate data structure students
Authors: Robert F. Smith
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

At North Carolina Central University, our computer science majors complete one year of introductory programming before tackling more advanced data structures such as queues, stacks, heaps and graphs. Because of their lack of proficiency, the kinds of programs they have written in the past have been limited to simple problems such as computing grade point averages, and calculating the value of fictional inventories - pretty dry stuff. We set out to motivate our second year students with challenging, but fun programming assignments. Our work resulted in three video game projects that use many of the fundamental data structures, but are straightforward to implement in about two weeks, by a prepared student.

Measurements and characterization of traffic in a university environment
Authors: Balaji R. Venkatraman, R. E. Newman-Wolfe, Randy Chow, Haniph A. Latchman
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

In this paper we characterize the traffic seen in a university environment, especially on the broadband medium which serves as the backbone. The traffic is characterized based on parameters such as the volume of traffic generated, the packet inter-arrival times, the packet size and the protocol type and application that generated the traffic. We use the packet train model to analyze and characterize the traffic. Network traffic being inherently bursty, we propose a practical definition for burstiness and evaluate the burstiness of the traffic measured. Finally we compare the appropriateness and relative efficiency of some of the tools used to measure network traffic and compare their performance.

Timing closure based on physical hierarchy
Authors: Jason Cong
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

In this paper, we shall present the progress and results of the ongoing project at UCLA on synthesis and optimization under physical hierarchy. First, we shall motivate our approach by pointing out the limitations of the existing approach to interconnect planning based on early RTL floorplanning following logic hierarchy. Then, we shall discuss the technical challenges for synthesis under the physical hierarchy, including handling high computational complexity from the flattened logic hierarchy, needs of retiming and pipelining over global interconnects, and extension of existing synthesis operations. Finally, we shall outline our approaches to overcome these technical challenges.

Practical safety in flexible access control models
Authors: Trent Jaeger, Jonathon E. Tidswell
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC) (2001)

Assurance that an access control configuration will not result in the leakage of a right to an unauthorized principal, called safety, is fundamental to ensuring that the most basic of access control policies can be enforced. It has been proven that the safety of an access control configuration cannot be decided for a general access control model, such as Lampson's access matrix, so safety is achieved either through the use of limited access control models or the verification of safety via constraints. Currently, almost all safety critical systems use limited access control models, such as Bell--LaPadula or Domain and Type Enforcement, because constraint expression languages are far too complex for typical administrators to use properly. However, researchers have identified that most constraints belong to one of a few basic types, so our goal is to develop a constraint expression model in which these constraints can be expressed in a straightforward way and extensions can be made to add other constraints, if desired. Our approach to expressing constraints has the following properties: (1) an access control policy is expressed using a graphical model in which the nodes represent sets (e.g., of subjects, objects, etc.) and the edges represent binary relationships on those sets and (2) constraints are expressed using a few, simple set operators on graph nodes. The basic graphical model is very simple, and we extend this model only as necessary to satisfy the identified constraint types. Since the basic graphical model is also general, further extension to support other constraints is possible, but such extensions should be made with caution as each increases the complexity of the model. Our hope is that by keeping the complexity of constraint expression in check, flexible access control models, such as role-based access control, may also be used for expressing access control policy for safety-critical systems.
LOG10
Authors: G. Mitchell Wood, P. Tobin Maginnis
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

On the University of Mississippi campus there are several computer systems. The main campus system consists of a PDP-10 running the TOPS10 operating system. The Computer Science Department system, consists of a PDP-11/34 running the UNIX operating system. Communications between these systems is accomplished by a set of programs which allow virtual terminal sharing and file transfer, called ThrifNet.The PDP-10 permits a fixed number of timesharing jobs to run, passing this number triggers a queuing mechanism. When a jobslot becomes available, the mechanism prompts the user at the head of the queue to log onto the system. LOG10 was created to run as a background process which monitors the PDP-10, and when allowed, automatically logs the user in.When envoked, LOG10 prompts the user for a log-in line and password, then returns the user to the UNIX operating system. LOG10 immediately sends the log-in message to the PSP-10 and logs the user in if no queue exists. If a queue exists, LOG10 waits for permission before logging in. In either case, the user is notified when log-in occurs. In addition to being used interactively, LOG10 will also permit input from a command file, allowing automatic backup of the UNIX files on the PDP-10.
