Intel® vProTM technology creates a powerful platform in which security and manageability go hand in hand. Since manageability is a crucial aspect of an enterprise’s network, it is extremely important to secure the manageability infrastructure against attacks from outside and inside the network. In this article, we delve into some of the most interesting security features that make Intel vPro te...

One of the core problems of P2P computing is resource locating. The main research results of determined resource locating algorithms are four distributed hash table algorithms, i.e: CAN, Chord, Pastry and Tapestry. Based on these algorithms , this paper presents a hierarchical and manageable resource locating model (HMRLM)which can provide P2P networks with scalability and manageability.

This paper explored the use of reflective online diaries to enhance teaching, learning and assessment in context an apprenticeship programme delivered online. An action research mixed methodology was employed; including qualitative practice a quantitative survey students enrolled on sales module over four academic years. Quantitative data analysis included Spearman Rank-Order Correlations, Expl...

We present a next-generation architecture that addresses problems of dependability, maintainability, and manageability of I/O devices and their software drivers on the PC platform. Our architecture resolves both hardware and software issues, exploiting emerging hardware features to improve device safety. Our high-performance implementation, based on the Xen virtual machine monitor, provides an ...
