Mitigating Microsoft with Virtual Consoles

Detecting and Mitigating Malware in Virtual Appliances

System administrators use application-level knowledge to identify anomalies in virtual appliances (VAs) and to recover from them. This process can be automated through an anomaly detection and recovery system. In this thesis, we claim that application-level policies defined over kernel-level application state can be effective for automatically detecting and mitigating the effects of malicious s...

Volunteer Computing With Video Game Consoles

Volunteer computing is a form of distributed computing where projects attempt to accomplish some goal, using volunteered computational resources instead of paying for the resources [1]. Volunteer computing projects are being used for a wide range of computationally intensive scientific and mathematical goals, ranging from searching for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence to searching for ...

PCs versus Consoles

Games consoles are becoming more versatile with the addition of hardware such as hard discs, modems and USB ports. With all these additions, they are beginning to encroach on the home computer (PC) market. The boundaries between the two groups are becoming blurred, and in the case of the Playstation2 shipping with Linux, almost inseparable. In the future, will we be programming on our Playstati...

A Distributed Virtual Machine for Microsoft .NET

Today, an ever increasing number of natural scientists use computers for data analysis, modeling, simulation and visualization of complex problems. However, in the last decade the computer architecture has changed significantly, making it increasingly difficult to fully utilize the power of the processor, unless the scientist is a trained programmer. The reasons for this shift include the chang...
