Prototypes and Project Demonstrations

Dr. Yinong Chen, Arizona State University

• A Scheduler in a Trustworthy System and its Prototype, sponsored by Microsoft Research.
  • The model and the scheduling algorithms.
    Publication: [Y. Chen, A service scheduler in a trustworthy system, the 37th Annual Simulation Symposium, Arlington VA, April 2004, pp.89-96.]
  • A prototype of the system is implemented using C# and .Net. The prototype consists of two executable components: The Server and the Clients.
    
    • Download the Poster that demonstrates the project
    • View the Project Slide Show that demonstrates the project
    • View the photos taken during DevCon 2004 in San Diego
    • Download and run the Server on one computer
      
    • Download and run the Clients on one or multiple computers.
      
    The Server and the Clients can run on the same computer or on different computers connected to the Internet.
    
• Dependable Distributed Firewall Project
and its Prototypes
• Hardware prototype: implemented using diskless Linux PCs and doubly linked Ethernet.
