whitepaper State of Indiana Saves $14 Million, Boosts IT Reliability, Offers New Services for Residents2008-03-01 Microsoft Tips
  In 2005, the state of Indiana embarked on an optimization of its core IT infrastructure to dramatically improve service levels while reducing cost. The state replaced a highly decentralized series of e mail solutions running on 100 server computers with Microsoft Exchange Server software running on two 4-computer clusters. Hundreds of desktop applications - including many older applications that were causing conflicts with current software - were virtualized using Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. And software deployments, security updates, asset inventory, and remote help-desk support were enabled by a move from Altiris Notification Server to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007.

whitepaper QoS Challenges and Opportunities in Wireless Sensor/Actuator Networks2008-02-21 Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI)
  A Wireless Sensor/Actuator Network (WSAN) is a group of sensors and actuators that are geographically distributed and interconnected by wireless networks. Sensors gather information about the state of physical world. Actuators react to this information by performing appropriate actions. WSANs thus enable cyber systems to monitor and manipulate the behavior of the physical world. WSANs are growing at a tremendous pace, just like the exploding evolution of Internet. Supporting Quality of Service (QoS) will be of critical importance for pervasive WSANs that serve as the network infrastructure of diverse applications. To spark new research and development interests in this field, this paper examines and discusses the requirements, critical challenges, and open research issues on QoS management in WSANs.

whitepaper Measurements and Mitigation of Peer-to-Peer-Based Botnets: A Case Study on Storm Worm2008-02-18 University of Mannheim
  Botnets, i.e., networks of compromised machines under a common control infrastructure, are commonly controlled by an attacker with the help of a central server: all compromised machines connect to the central server and wait for commands. However, the first botnets that use Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks for remote control of the compromised machines appeared in the wild recently. This paper introduces a methodology to analyze and mitigate P2P botnets. In a case study, the paper examines in detail the Storm Worm botnet, the most wide-spread P2P botnet currently propagating in the wild. The paper was able to infiltrate and analyze in-depth the botnet, which allows to estimate the total number of compromised machines.
