After thirty years of explosive growth in computing and network technology, significant advances are made in the area of distributed operating systems. Even after all these advances, we have today’s market place littered with devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops, pagers, etc. which are not interconnected. Existing Distributed Operating Systems do solve many problems related to resource ...

This paper explores the potential for making use of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Service Enabler Architecture Layer (SEAL) TS 23.434 even easier and more automatic in various industry verticals applying Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) their operation. The proposed solution involves implementing a mapping node that converts ROS2 settings to 3GPP SEAL requests an information collecti...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a TCP/IP stack ngerprint scrubber. The ngerprint scrubber is a new tool to restrict a remote user's ability to determine the operating system of another host on the network. Allowing entire subnetworks to be remotely scanned and characterized opens up security vulnerabilities. Specifically, operating system exploits can be eÆciently run agai...

Network researchers have traditionally focused on monitoring, measuring, and characterizing traffic in the network to gain insight into building critical network components (e.g., protocol stacks, routers, switches, and network interface cards). Recent research suggests that additional insight can be obtained by monitoring traffic at the application level (i.e., before traffic is modulated by t...

A distributed system is a system with multiple autonomous computers managed by a coherent operating system. The main purpose is to increase the performance/cost ratio of the system. The multiple computers are transparent to users. A user uses a distributed system like a simplex computer. It is up to the operating system to select the best computer, find and transport all the input files to that...
