International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / The Range Instrumentation and Control System (RICS) is the twenty-first century replacement for an aging time-space-position information (TSPI) distribution and collection system used by the 46th Test Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida. The purpose of the RICS is to collect TSPI and distribute it across a wide area network in real-time. It will utilize a multi-threaded C++ program on VxWorks (a real-time operating system by Wind River Systems) to acquire TSPI from a radar system. The acquired data will be multicast to several local area networks where the data will be recorded and displayed in real-time using a Java program on the Linux operating system. This paper describes the design process and design rationale for developing a distributed, real-time, heterogeneous system.

<p>Vi, två studerande vid Karlstads universitet, har efter önskemål från IBM intervjuat tre representanter från utvalda svenska tillverkningsföretag om hur de ställer sig till Linux på klientsidan och sedan jämfört detta med vad IT-analysföretag anser om Linux och en</p><p>övergång till detta på klientsidan. Vi har även utfört en djupintervju med en anställd på IBM för att ta del av deras syn och åsikter om varför de valt att satsa på Linux på klientsidan och vägt in detta i våra intervjuer med tillverkningsföretagen.</p><p>Vi frågar oss, är det någon skillnad i uppfattning mellan hur olika IT-analysföretag ser och skriver om Linux och hur markanden ser på Linux och vad de egentligen tycker?</p><p>Att Linux kommer gå en ljus framtid till möte är samtliga involverade parter i vår uppsats eniga om. Trots detta skiljer sig deras åsikter om vilket operativsystem som är det mest kostnadseffektiva, IT-analysföretagen säger Linux, tillverkningsföretagen säger Microsoft. En ökad konkurrens på marknaden ser samtliga som positivt men poängterar att det måste finnas ett verkligt skäl till en övergång då det kostar mycket pengar och att det är så pass mycket att tänka på.</p>

Modern smartphones integrate ubiquitous access to voice, data, and email communication and allow users to rapidly handle both personal and corporate business affairs. This is possible because of the smartphone’s constant connectivity with the Internet. Digital forensic investigators have long understood the value of smartphones as forensic evidence, and this thesis seeks to provide new tools to increase the amount of evidence that one can obtain and analyze from an Android smartphone. Specifically, by using proven data carving algorithms we try to uncover information about the phone’s connection to wireless access points in a capture of the device’s volatile memory.

A crescente oferta de programas de código aberto na rede mundial de computadores expõe potenciais usuários a muitas possibilidades de escolha. Em face da pluralidade de interesses desses indivíduos, mecanismos eficientes que os aproximem daquilo que buscam trazem benefícios para eles próprios, assim como para os desenvolvedores dos programas. Este trabalho apresenta o AppRecommender, um recomendador de aplicativos GNU/Linux que realiza uma filtragem no conjunto de programas disponíveis e oferece sugestões individualizadas para os usuários. Tal feito é alcançado por meio da análise de perfis e descoberta de padrões de comportamento na população estudada, de sorte que apenas os aplicativos considerados mais suscetíveis a aceitação sejam oferecidos aos usuários. / The increasing availability of open source software on the World Wide Web exposes potential users to a wide range of choices. Given the individuals plurality of interests, mechanisms that get them close to what they are looking for would benefit users and software developers. This work presents AppRecommender, a recommender system for GNU/Linux applications which performs a filtering on the set of available software and individually offers suggestions to users. This is achieved by analyzing profiles and discovering patterns of behavior of the studied population, in a way that only those applications considered most prone to acceptance are presented to users.

[Abstract]: This is a project to implement a Mice and Elephants queueing discipline, which favoursshort flows over long flows, on Linux. The project has three aims. The first aim is toproduce a prototype Mice and Elephants router for the purpose of further evaluation ofthe Mice and Elephants strategy and the Shortest Job First strategy. The second aim is tomake a contribution to Linux by making my implementation as code that is both fit fordistribution with Linux and useful in a small business or domestic setting. The third aimis to explore and document a method of creating Linux queueing disciplines in general.

<p>Streaming video and VoIP are two popular services used over the Internet, and as the number of users increases, the demand on the network routers also increases. Since both streaming video and VoIP have a variable traffic flow, the routers must always have some free space in their receive buffers to handle traffic bursts. If not, packet loss may occur that will result in a degraded quality of the services. In this project, a fuzzy logic based Active Queue Management (AQM) will be implemented, which might help reduce this problem. This algorithm has currently only been tested in a simulated environment. This algorithm will then be evaluated and compared to some of the existing AQMs. The results will also be compared to a stream that only uses a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) queue, which will work as a baseline. Since an AQM is not the only means used to reduce delay and jitter, different AQMs will also be combined with two different transport protocols, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the new Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). The resulting implementation performed on a par with RED (Random Early Detection), one of the most common AQMs.</p>
