CFM-ID is a web server supporting three tasks associated with the interpretation of tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) for the purpose of automated metabolite identification: annotation of the peaks in a spectrum for a known chemical structure; prediction of spectra for a given chemical structure and putative metabolite identification--a predicted ranking of possible candidate structures for a target ...

The World Wide Web has already affected OR/MS work in a significant way, and holds great potential for changing the nature of OR/MS products and the OR/MS software economy. Web technologies are relevant to OR/MS work in two ways. First, the Web is a multimedia communication system. Originally based on an information pull model, it is—critically for OR/MS—being extended for information push as w...

Buffer overflow attack is the most common and arguably the most dangerous attack method used in Internet security breach incidents reported in the public literature. Various solutions have been developed to address the buffer overflow vulnerability problem in both research and commercial communities. Almost all the solutions that provide adequate protection against buffer overflow attacks are i...

Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document addresses the communication between an application server and media server. The current work in IETF working groups shows these logical entities, but it does not address the physical decomposition and ...

We propose a web server performance modeling method and a parameter setting method that complement the “Tune protocols and parameters” section of SMARTE methodology. The modeling method adapts service-time calculations in a gna_clsvr_mgr.pr.m depending on whether the contents are static objects (text, gif, or jpg) or dynamic objects (cgi, asp, etc.). To simulate end user response time accuratel...

Multi-server Federated learning (FL) has been considered as a promising solution to address the limited communication resource problem of single-server FL. We consider typical multi-server FL architecture, where coverage areas regional servers may overlap. The key point this architecture is that clients located in overlapping update their local models based on average model all accessible model...

Microsoft SQL Server is a multi-component database management system taking advantage of many features of the underlying operating system. Obtaining a breakdown of its workload by categories such as users and applications requires a non-standard approach. This paper describes such an approach as well as architectural features of MS SQL Server relevant for workload analysis and capacity planning.

In multiserver (MS) environments, it is preferable for a remote user to login to different service provider servers by keying in the same password. Recently, Wang et al. proposed an improvement on the dynamic identity-based smart card authentication scheme of Liao and Wang for MS environments. Sandeep et al. improved the dynamic identity-based smart card authentication scheme of Hsiang et al. f...

Real-time, online multi-player games are becoming increasingly popular due to advances in game design and the proliferation of broadband Internet access. However, fairness remains a major challenge when players over large geographic areas participate in a client-server based game together. This paper proposes a game-independent, networkbased service, called Sync-MS, that balances the trade-off ...

a two server queueing system with single and batch service is considered in this paper. the arrival process is assumed to be poisson and the service rate follows an exponential distribution. server-i serves the customers in both single and batch service, while server-ii serves the customers in batch service only. the laplace transform of the transient and steady state behavior of the model is c...
