We report on the results of the Protocol Design Group of the W3C's HTTP 'Next Generation' Activity. the group produced and measured a prototype that shows that it is possible, largely using familiar engineering principles, to make simultaneous improvements in the following problem areas of HTTP/1.1: (1) the layering of other application protocols over HTTP;(2) modularity and extensibility;(3) networking performance and fairness;(4) the rigid binding between identifiers and protocol stacks;and (5) the opacity of layered traffic to firewalls. the prototype also suggests that these can be done in a way that may lead to unifying the Web with related middleware systems such as COM, CORBA, and Java RMI.

the Stanford Power Browser project addresses the problems of interacting withthe World Wide Web through wirelessly connected Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). these problems include bandwidth limitations, screen real-estate shortage, battery capacity, and the time costs of pen-based search keyword input. As a way to address bandwidth and battery life limitations, we provide local sire search facilities for all sites. We incrementally index Web sites in real time as the PDA user visits them. these indexes have narrow scope at first, and improve as the user dwells on the site, or as more users visit the site over time. We address the keyword input problem by providing site specific-keyword completion, and indications of keyword selectivity within sites. the system is implemented on the Palm Pilot platform, using a Metricom radio link. We describe the user level experience, and then present the analyses that informed our technical decisions. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Parallel mappings of Sparse distributed Memory (SDM) are presented for a partial tree shape neurocomputer. the implemented partial tree shape neurocomputer called PARNEU is a scalable co-processor system to speed up soft computing applications. the used SDM algorithm benefits from the improved reading method and mask based activation. Two different mapping strategies are presented and analysed in detail the effect of SDM size is analysed and the system scalability is verified with speedup figures of different SDM networks. Almost linear speedup is achieved with reasonable size SDM algorithm.

'Appliance' digital devices such as handheld cameras, scanners, and microphones generate data that people want to put on Web pages. Unfortunately numerous complex steps are required. Contrast this with Web output: handheld Web browsers enjoy increasing infrastructural support such as user-transparent transformation proxies, allowing unmodified Web pages to be conveniently viewed on devices not originally designed for the task. We hypothesize that the utility of input appliances will be greatly increased if they too were 'infrastructure enabled'. Appliance Data Services attempts to systematically describe the task domain of providing seamless and graceful interoperability between input appliances and the Web. We offer an application architecture and a validating prototype that we hope will 'open up the playing field' and motivate further work. Our initial efforts have identified two main design challenges: dealing with device heterogeneity, and providing a 'no-futz' out-of-the-box user experience for novices without sacrificing expressive power for advanced users. We address heterogeneity by isolating device and protocol heterogeneity considerations into a single extensible architectural component, allowing most of the application logic to deal exclusively with Web-friendly protocols and formats. We address the user interface issue in two ways: first, by specifying how to tag input with commands that specify how data are to be manipulated once injected into the infrastructure;second, by describing a late-binding mechanism for these command-tags, which allows 'natural' extensions of the device's UI for application selection and minimizes the amount of configuration required before end-users benefit from Appliance Data Services. Finally, we describe how to leverage existing services in the infrastructure;our prototype is based on HTTP and Java but our architecture could also leverage services connected via Jini or CORBA. We also describe an implemented prototype of par

this paper proposes a new approach to fault detection for link state routing system - property oriented analysis and detection (POD). A routing system is modeled as a set of distributed processes. A properly is defined as stare predicate(s) over system variables. For link state routing protocol, the high-level overall converging property P is defined as the "synchronization" among routing information bases maintained by all processes. We decompose routing protocol into different computation phases. For each phase, we use invariant stare predicates (safety property) and liveness property as our guide for observation and analysis the goal of the detection algorithm is to construct a validation path based on the history to determine if the fault is natural or malicious once the stable property P is rendered invalid by faults. the contribution of this paper is two fold: first, a new detection approach is proposed that differs from traditional signature based or profile based intrusion detection paradigms in the sense that it utilizes stable property as a starting point, and correlates the history and future to validate changes in the system;second, by exploring primary concerned system properties, we show that detection effort can be conducted in a more focused and systematic fashion.

Mobile computing is becoming more and more pervasive, liberating users from the confines of wired networks. At the same time, transparent access to heterogeneous, distributed information sources has become a reality in wired computing. Obviously, this kind of access is highly desirable for mobile users, too. However, current architectures for transparent information access do not take the specific needs of mobile users into account, while existing architectures for mobile computing do not support transparent access well. For the future growth of the usage of mobile computing it is of utmost importance that instead of individually developed, isolated extensions to the existing architectures, the research community agrees on a strong, standardized middleware platform extending both existing mobile architectures and existing information access architectures to ensure mobile access in heterogeneous environments. In this paper we propose such a platform.

the 9th Annual IFIP/IEEE international Workshop on distributed Systems, Operations and Management (DSOM '98) held at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, on October 26-28, 1998 was presented. the general scope of the DSOM workshop series is the operations and management of application software or services within a distributed system and the impact of advanced computing and networking technologies on management. the workshop attracted over 75 participants from 16 countries. Emerging issues and problems in the theme area were explored.
Routing algorithms in the IP Internet provide a single path between each source-destination pair and where more than one path is provided, they are paths of equal length. Single-path routing is inherently slow in resp...
