(Abstract) Keywords—component; formatting; style; styling; insert (key words) Introduction There are many different kind of fault tolerance in computer architecture like failure in operating system and other hardware issues raised in our daily lives among them there is a soft error issues which is also called as semiconductor transient faults. This fault occurred by the cosmic rays or substrate alpha particle that can also have possibly corrupt the user data. A soft error event causes enough of a charge disturbance to reverse or flip the data state of a memory cell, register, latch, or flip-flop. [1] The error is called “soft” because the circuit/device itself is not permanently damaged by the radiation; if new data are written to the bit, the device will store it correctly. The soft error is also often referred to as a single event upset(SEU). If the...

...Week 9 Chapter 13 and 14 Assignment #3 Eddie L. Rhoden Instructor: Dr. Janet Durgin CIS 512 May 31, 2012 Kerberos security model: Kerberos is a security protocol invented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for computer networks. Using key encryption, Kerberos allows both client and server to mutually verify each other's identity in order to safely transfer data over an otherwise unsecured connection. Since its inception, Kerberos has gained the acceptance of numerous major entities and continues to grow. When a user logs in, an authentication service verifies the user's identity and grants an encrypted ticket, which contains identification credentials (such as a randomly-created session key) and only works for a limited time of eight hours. A user decrypts the ticket with his password and the credentials are stored in the user's cache to gain access to the intended service. Once the time is up, the user will have to log in once again and request a new ticket. The ticket is destroyed when a user logs out. Compared to a firewall, which offers protection from outside attacks but limits the actions a user can perform, Kerberos allows a user to continue to safely operate over an unsecured connection by encrypting the data transfer without limiting a user's abilities. Because Kerberos requires mutual client and server verification, it prevents phishing by keeping malicious entities from posing as the server and...

...with the current issues in accessibility, as well as the various initiatives, norms, and standards implemented with respect to Web-enabled applications. In this regard, we will examine using Microsoft products and technologies to design and develop Web sites that comply with accessibility guidelines. More specifically, this document describes a set of guidelines that enable you to produce accessible Web sites by using the new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 technologies as part of Microsoft Office system 2007 or previous solutions such as Content Management Server 2002 and SharePoint 2003 technologies. It defines the extent to which these technologies offer the best possible compliance with, as a minimum, the priority 1 checkpoints of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0. Status This document is the second release of the technical white paper on the accessibility of Web sites that are based on Microsoft solutions; it references the standards that were available at the date of publication and the features available in current versions of the above-mentioned products and technologies at the date of publication.

...University Nanyang Avenue Singapore 2263 idicula@ntu.ac.sg 1. Introduction Organizations need to rapidly adapt to changes in dynamic markets. The design of an organization can hinder or even prevent it from responding quickly to changes in its environment. The processes along with other resources in the organization drive its workand responses to changes in its environment. Processes of an agile organization must be effective, efficient, reusable and well managed. Furthermore, they must ease quick responses to changesin the environmentof the organization. The study of designing organizational processes can stimulate us to design better organizations. It can borrow ideas, tools and techniques fromareas such as artificial intelligence, computer science, coordination science, logic and operations research. Mostof the activities performedin organizations deal with the processing of information to meet various goals. The design of an organization must support the primary activities that help the organization to achieve its goals. Information technology is providing new ways of organizing and performing activities. Transactions that required several hours of human attention can nowbe achieved in a few seconds. There are various kinds of communicationfacilities that have increased efficiency at reduced coordination costs. Information technology based tools are influencing the ways in which organizations perform their activities. Therefore, we need to design and re-engineer organizations...

Many applications insulate themselves from failures by checkpointing. For many applications, checkpointing into a shared single file is most convenient. With such an approach, the size of writes are often small and not aligned with file system boundaries. Unfortunately for these applications, this preferred data...
