Haggle: A Networking Architecture Designed Around Mobile Users

Overview Current mobile computing applications are infrastructure-centric, due to the IP-based API that these applications are written around. This paper identifies the general scenario faced by the user of Pocket Switched Networking (PSN), and discusses why the IP-based status quo does not cope well in this environment. This paper present a set of architectural principles for PSN, and the high-level design of Haggle, the asynchronous, data-centric network architecture which addresses this environment by "Raising" the API so that applications can provide the network with Application-layer Data Units (ADUs) with high-level metadata concerning ADU identification, security and delivery to user-named endpoints.

Google has data-retention change of heart

This period is too long and it's not in fact data destruction, it's more data de-identification, and that should be happening in 18 to 24 hours, not months. The company said: "Logs anonymisation does not guarantee that the government will not be...

Geography lessons for online retailers

Companies such as Quova and Digital Element are gathering terabytes of data that further narrow the identification process down to cities and zip codes. Companies faced a growing choice of channels for connecting customers to products and services.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
