Understanding the NetworkLevel Behavior of Spammers

by Anirudh Ramachandran, Nick Feamster , 2006
"... This paper studies the network-level behavior of spammers, including: IP address ranges that send the most spam, common spamming modes (e.g., BGP route hijacking, bots), how persistent across time each spamming host is, and characteristics of spamming botnets. We try to answer these questions by ana ..."

Alliances and networks

by Ranjay Gulati
"... This paper introduces a social network perspective to the study of strategic alliances. It extends prior research, which has primarily considered alliances as dyadic exchanges and paid less attention to the fact that key precursors, processes, and outcomes associated with alliances can be defined an ..."

) the performance consequences for firms entering alliances. For each of these issues, this paper outlines some of the current research and debates at the firm and dyad level and then discusses some of the new and important insights that result from introducing a network perspective. It highlights current network

Learning low-level vision

by William T. Freeman, Egon C. Pasztor - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2000
"... We show a learning-based method for low-level vision problems. We set-up a Markov network of patches of the image and the underlying scene. A factorization approximation allows us to easily learn the parameters of the Markov network from synthetic examples of image/scene pairs, and to e ciently prop ..."

Overcast: Reliable Multicasting with an Overlay Network

by John Jannotti, David K. Gifford, Kirk L. Johnson, M. Frans Kaashoek, James W. O'Toole, Jr. , 2000
"... Overcast is an application-level multicasting system that can be incrementally deployed using today's Internet infrastructure. These properties stem from Overcast's implementation as an overlay network. An overlay network consists of a collection of nodes placed at strategic locations in a ..."

System architecture directions for networked sensors

by Jason Hill, Robert Szewczyk, Alec Woo, Seth Hollar, David Culler, Kristofer Pister - IN ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS , 2000
"... Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. They can be deeply embedded in the physical world or spread throughout our environment. The missing elements are an overall system architecture and a methodo ..."

SPINS: Security Protocols for Sensor Networks

by Adrian Perrig, Robert Szewczyk, Victor Wen, David Culler, J. D. Tygar , 2001
"... As sensor networks edge closer towards wide-spread deployment, security issues become a central concern. So far, the main research focus has been on making sensor networks feasible and useful, and less emphasis was placed on security. We design a suite of security building blocks that are optimized ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1094 (30 self) - Add to MetaCart
: The performance of the protocol suite easily matches the data rate of our network. Additionally, we demonstrate that the suite can be used for building higher level protocols.

Energy Conserving Routing in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks

by Jae-hwan Chang, Leandros Tassiulas , 2000
"... An ad-hoc network of wireless static nodes is considered as it arises in a rapidly deployed, sensor based, monitoring system. Information is generated in certain nodes and needs to reach a set of designated gateway nodes. Each node may adjust its power within a certain range that determines the set ..."

The BSD Packet Filter: A New Architecture for User-level Packet Capture

by Steven Mccanne, Van Jacobson , 1992
"... Many versions of Unix provide facilities for user-level packet capture, making possible the use of general purpose workstations for network monitoring. Because network monitors run as user-level processes, packets must be copied across the kernel/user-space protection boundary. This copying can be m ..."
