This paper contributes to service level management of complex Web-based e-business environments using WBEM/CIM. Such e-business environments usually consist of Web servers and Web containers to realize client access, and EJB containers or CORBA components for modeling the application business logic. Since the DMTF does not define a model providing a unified view upon such complex environments, the definition of a management information model is the core part of the work presented. Currently, the information model mainly focuses on performance aspects, like application response times, which are integral part of many SLAs. The paper also presents a framework that was developed to efficiently implement the information model. The framework increases the portability of CIM providers, which are responsible for retrieving management information, between different CIMOMs by providing an abstraction layer. In addition, the framework simplifies the development of providers by offering support for caching etc.

The "tangible file system"/sup 1/ is a document management and access infrastructure for the ubiquitous computing era. It provides a transparent user interface which takes advantage of physical user actions for the purpose of directory management, data sharing and document location tracking. This is achieved by digitally augmenting both documents and document containers to detect the location of physical information and to trigger corresponding update actions in the electronic world. The system is built using the Datlet [9] architecture to allow any 'tool-objects' to be applied to 'data-objects', thereby enabling an even more natural user interaction based on affordances.

Scaling network intrusion detection to high network speeds can be achieved using multiple sensors operating in parallel coupled with a suitable load balancing traffic splitter. This paper examines a splitter architecture that incorporates two methods for improving system performance: the first is the use of early filtering where a portion of the packets is processed on the splitter instead of the sensors. The second is the use of locality buffering, where the splitter reorders packets in a way that improves memory access locality on the sensors. Our experiments suggest that early filtering reduces the number of packets to be processed by 32%, giving a 8% increase in sensor performance, while locality buffers improve sensor performance by about 10%. Combined together, the two methods result in an overall improvement of 20% while the performance of the slowest sensor is improved by 14%.

The problems related to supporting multicast connections with quality of service (QoS) requirements are studied. We investigate the problem of optimal resource allocation in the context of performance dependent costs. In this context each network element can offer several QoS guarantees, each associated with a different cost. This is a natural extension to the commonly used bi-criteria model, where each link is associated with a single delay and a single cost. This framework is simple yet strong enough to model many practical interesting networking problems. The fundamental multicast resource allocation problem under this framework is how to optimally allocate QoS requirements on the links of the multicast tree. One needs to partition the end-to-end QoS requirement along the various paths in a tree. The goal is to satisfy the end-to-end QoS requirement with minimum cost. Previous studies under this framework considered single-source multicast connections, where the end-to-end QoS requirement is specified from the source to all other multicast group members. In this paper we extend these results to the more general, and considerably harder case of multicast sessions, where the end-to-end requirement hold for every path between any two multicast group members. Our aim is to provide rigorous solutions, with proven performance guarantees, by way of algorithmic analysis. The problem under investigation is NP hard for general cost functions, thus we first present a pseudopolynomial exact solution. From this solution we derive two efficient /spl epsi/-approximate solutions. One achieves optimal cost, but may violate the end-to-end delay requirement by a factor of (1 + /spl epsi/), and the other strictly obeys the bounds and achieves a cost within a factor of (1+/spl epsi/) of the optimum. Furthermore, we present improved results for discrete cost functions, and give a simple linear-time exact polynomial solution for a specific, and practically interesting, family of convex

In this paper we present algorithms for model checking CTL over systems specified as Petri nets. We present sequential as well as distributed model checking algorithms. The algorithms rely on an explicit representation of the system state space, but do not require the transition relation to be explicitly available; it is recomputed whenever required. This approach allows us to model check very large systems, with hundreds of millions of states, in a fast and efficient way. Furthermore, our distributed algorithms scale very well, as they show efficiencies in the range of 80 to 100%.

This paper proposes a novel real-time adaptive admission control (AAC) scheme with a desired quality of service (QoS) guarantee and high network utilization in high speed networks. The QoS is given in terms of service delay, which is defined as the time it takes for a source to get admitted into the network after it initiates its intended request, packet/cell losses, and transmission delay (time taken to complete transmission from its initiation). AAC uses the following information - the available capacity from a novel adaptive bandwidth estimation scheme, a congestion indicator derived from a congestion controller, peak cell rate estimate from new sources, along with the desired QoS metrics, and outputs an 'admit' or 'reject' decision signal to the new sources while guaranteeing QoS and network utilization. Simulation results are presented by streaming ON/OFF and video data into the network. Results show that the proposed AAC admits significantly more traffic compared to other available admission control schemes thereby guaranteeing high network utilization while maintaining the desired QoS.

The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is often used as backbone middleware for connecting critical business system components and for integrating legacy systems. Therefore, CORBA applications have to be managed in an efficient manner. The emerging trend of service level agreements and service level management requires the management of a system from an end-user's viewpoint, i.e., metrics like application response time and availability are key concerns. This requires a very fine-grained monitoring of the application in order to identify its performance-critical parts. This paper presents a new generic instrumentation approach for CORBA applications that enables the measurement of end-to-end performance characteristics. The measurements are very fine-grained, i.e., complex invocation hierarchies within object meshes can be monitored. The presented solution is based on portable interceptors and the application response measurement (ARM).
