Network firewalls remain the forefront defense for most computer systems. These critical devices filter traffic by comparing arriving packets to a list of rules, or security po...
Abstract. The proliferation of group-centric computing and communication motivates the need for mechanisms to provide group access control. Group access control includes mechanisms...
In modern architectures based on Web Services or Cloud Computing, a very large number of user requests arrive concurrently and has to be scheduled for execution constrained by cor...
Many high-performance communicating systems are designed using the event-driven paradigm. As multicore platforms are now pervasive, it becomes crucial for such systems to take adva...
Over the past decade a variety of network architectures have been proposed to address IP's limitations in terms of flexible forwarding, security, and data distribution. Meanw...
