As computing systems are increasingly depending on networking, they are also becoming more vulnerable to networking malfunctioning or misuse. Human intervention is not a solution when computer system monitoring and repairing must be done fast and reliably regardless of scale, networking availability, or system impairing. Future network-centric systems must be built around a defensive architectu...

Fitting newly important topics into an already crowded IS/IT curriculum is an ongoing challenge. In this paper we present an innovative and simple way to introduce and demonstrate computer clustering concepts in less than a single class hour, at no cost, by constructing a high performance cluster in the classroom using student laptop computers, classroom Ethernet facilities, and free, downloada...

this paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. an appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. in this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (iofl). then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated nonl...
