چکیده

Virtualised systems have experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years, particularly in supporting a large number of independent services on a single host. This paper describes our work designing and implementing Proper, a service running on the PlanetLab system, that allows other services to perform privileged operations in a safe, controlled manner. We describe how implementing such a system in a traditional UNIX environment is non-trivial, and discuss the practical use of Proper.

PASSIVE: Policy-Assessed System-Level Security of Sensitive Information Processing in Virtualised Environments

Virtualised service platforms and cloud computing hold great promise for delivery of large applications in eGovernment. However, to date, the fundamental shared-resource nature of virtualisation technologies has raised legitimate security concerns for Government and other organisations with duties to protect confidential data.\nThe PASSIVE project proposes an improved model of security for such...

Effect of buffer cache on storage performance in virtualised environment

Many researches compare the storage performance of different virtualised systems. Some of their results are unexplained, which reduces the reliability of the storage performance comparison itself. Through experiments, this reported work identifies that the size of buffer cache significantly affects the storage performance. When the same size of buffer cache is used in experiments, very differen...

An Expert System for Intelligent Selection of Proper Particle Swarm Optimization Variants

Regarding the large number of developed Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms and the various applications for which PSO has been used, selecting the most suitable variant of PSO for solving a particular optimization problem is a challenge for most researchers. In this paper, using a comprehensive survey and taxonomy on different types of PSO, an Expert System (ES) is designed to identif...

Secure Virtualised Working Environment for Clinical Research

Clinical research requires a secure working environment for data management tasks. Traditionally, this was achieved by using closed systems not accessible via network communication. More recently, however, as research projects especially in the academic setting take on more distributed forms with partners working in different institutions and/or locations, closed environments may no longer be f...

Heat Transfer, Environmental Benefits, and Social Cost Analysis of Different Insulation Methods by Considering Insulation Disadvantages

In this paper, the thermal performance of four common insulators in two internal and external insulation systems is investigated for the ASHRAE setpoint range by applying detailed numerical simulation and Anti-Insulation phenomenon. Anti-Insulation phenomenon and consequent extra load on the HVAC system can occur following the thermal insulation of a building if proper temperature setpoint is n...
