We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
We consider equation systems of the form X1 = f1(X1, . . . , Xn), . . . , Xn = fn(X1, . . . , Xn) where f1, . . . , fn are polynomials with positive real coefficients. In vector fo...

In today's world password compromise by some adversaries is common for different purpose. In ICC 2008 Lei et al. proposed a new user authentication system based on the virtual...
This paper shows how the steady-state availability and failure frequency can be calculated in a single pass for very large systems, when the availability is expressed as a product...
