Message Ferrying: Proactive Routing in Highly-Partitioned Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Overview An ad hoc network allows devices with wireless interfaces to communicate with each other without any preinstalled infrastructure. Due to node mobility, limited radio power, node failure and wide deployment area, ad hoc networks are often vulnerable to network partitioning. A number of examples are in battlefield, disaster recovery and wide area surveillance. Unfortunately, most existing ad hoc routing protocols will fail to deliver messages under these circumstances since no route to the destination exists. This paper proposes the Message Ferrying or MF scheme that provides efficient data delivery in disconnected ad hoc networks.

BlackBerry blackout: Is RIM overreaching itself?

Some of the most common issues that can result in an outage are power failures, failure of a critical component that takes down a larger component, software bugs, viruses and other attacks from the outside, or patches that fail.

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.
