The growing computational and storage needs of several scientific applications mandate the deployment of extreme-scale parallel machines, such as IBM’s BlueGene/L which can acc...
Basic message processing tasks, such as wellformedness checking and grammar validation, can be off-loaded from the service providers' own infrastructures. To enable effective...
Kernel-level attacks or rootkits can compromise the security of an operating system by executing with the privilege of the kernel. Current approaches use virtualization to gain hi...
