  • THINC: a Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices
    THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 c 2011 Ricardo A.

ABSTRACT THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto THINC is a new virtual and remote display architecture for desktop computing. It has been designed to address the limitations and performance shortcomings of existing remote display technology, and to provide a building block around which novel desktop architectures can be built. THINC is architected around the notion of a virtual display device driver, a software-only component that behaves like a traditional device driver, but instead of managing specific hardware, enables desktop input and output to be intercepted, manipulated, and redirected at will. On top of this architecture, THINC introduces a simple, low-level, device-independent representation of display changes, and a number of novel optimizations and techniques to perform efficient interception and redirection of display output. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of THINC. It also intro- duces a number of novel systems which build upon THINC's architecture to provide new and improved desktop computing services. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: • A high performance remote display system for LAN and WAN environments.

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on ottaa selvää etäyhteysohjelmistojen tietoturvaominaisuuksista ja kuinka pal- jon eri etäyhteysohjelmistot rasittavat tietokoneen resursseja. Tuloksien perusteella valitaan yhteensopivin etäyh- teysohjelmisto organisaatiokäyttöön. Opinnäytetyö käsittää teoriaosan, jossa kerrotaan erilaiset etäyhteysprotokollat. Etäyhteysprotokollista kerrotaan tärkeimmät ominaisuudet ja protokollan toimintaperiaate. Etäyhteysprotokolliin kuuluu esimerkiksi VNC, RDP, X11 ja PcoIP –protokollat. Protokollan tarkka teoriatuntemus auttaa selvittämään eri käyttötarkoituksiin parhai- ten sopivan protokollan. Opinnäytetyö käsittää tutkimusosion, joka tarkastelee VNC- ja RDP-protokollia käyttäviä etäyhteysohjelmistoja, koska VNC- ja RDP-protokolla ovat käytetyimmät etäyhteysprotokollat. Tutkimus käsittää ohjelmistojen asen- nuksen, yhteyden muodostuksen ja käytettävien tietokoneen resurssien mittauksen. Asennusvaiheessa etäyhteysohjelmisto asennetaan yhteyden muodostusta varten.

  • Data Source Diversity in Identifying and Understanding Events
    BABEL BEACON WORLDWIDE: DATA SOURCE DIVERSITY IN IDENTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING EVENTS Introduction: As the online data landscape continues to exponentially expand, analysts are increasingly challenged to find where key pieces of information are hiding. Because actionable data can be found anywhere online, it is essential to cast the widest possible net over the vast pool of data sources – globally. It is our observation that many analysts, when analyzing publicly available information (PAI), tend to focus on just a few large social media (SM) platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter. Indeed, these data sources are useful for situational awareness in certain areas around the world. But they, in context, comprise only a small portion of the immense available data within the data universe. So, the appropriate question is: “What other data sources are there, relative to my question, that should be queried?” This Beacon explores the importance of leveraging the variety of global data sets by diving into historical social media posts and analyzing conversations they spawned both within and beyond the original posting site. Babel Street analysts winnowed down data from thousands of social media outlets, blogs and message boards, global news outlets, and the dark web to identify where else these posts were being referenced and by whom, in order to pinpoint relevant and potentially actionable intelligence. BLUF: o Focusing PAI research on only a few large SM platforms severely limits the information analysts can derive about ongoing

  • Social Networking Service
    Social networking service A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, e.g., who share interests and/or activities. A social network service essentially consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web based and provide means for users to interact over the internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks. The main types of social networking services are those which contain category places (such as former school year or classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-description pages) and a recommendation system linked to trust. Popular methods now combine many of these, with Facebook and Twitter widely used worldwide, Nexopia (mostly in Canada); Bebo, VKontakte, Hi5, Hyves (mostly in The Netherlands), Draugiem.lv (mostly in Latvia), StudiVZ (mostly in Germany), iWiW (mostly in Hungary), Tuenti (mostly in Spain), Nasza-Klasa (mostly in Poland), Decayenne, Tagged, XING, Badoo and Skyrock in parts of Europe; Orkut and Hi5 in South America and Central America; and Friendster, Mixi, Multiply, Orkut, Wretch, renren and Cyworld in Asia and the Pacific Islands and Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Orkut in India.
