Mod list? (Dec 12 2003 07:05 GMT) - Ok, so a few friends doing mods, and my new year mod plans have led me to have modding on the brain, as my ever broadening wishlist will soon attest, and thus I have desired to have a less hectic and more localized area to discuss modding. As I do when such things occur, I thought of creating a mail list. Is there any readers who would be interested? Or would this be better left to the Forums, whenever they work right? I am eager to hear modding tales, tips, and warnings. |

- As computational needs continue to grow in complexity and larger data sets require analysis, customers are requiring higher levels of computational capability at much lower price points. High Performance Computing Clustering (HPCC) offers a solution that not only provides a powerful implementation of computing, but is also very cost effective when compared with the traditional method of using specialty computers designed for parallel computing.

- This document describes Quantum Bit String Commitment. This paper shows how he bit string commitment protocols uses the properties of quantum information to guarantee strong levels of security to both the committer and receiver. The document highlights another cryptographic application of quantum information: no (non-relativistic) classical protocol can guarantee such security. |

- The necessity of guaranteeing data security in the IBM mainframe environment led to the development and introduction of the IBM Resource Access and Control Facility (RACF). For over 20 years, RACF (also known as the Security Server) has been the premier product for securing valuable corporate data. It is, in fact, still the industry leader with growth rates exceeding 15% each year for the past five years. Backed by RACF security, mainframes represented reliability for many years. |

- This paper proposes a conversation definition language as a simple, yet powerful, way to define web services interactions. The main idea behind cl is to explicitly define the permissible message exchanges over time (conversations) between web services. This paper also introduces the notion of choice as a key enabler in expressing the externally visible behavior of services. It provides semantics for such conversation definitions in terms of the potential traces of documents exchanged between the services. It outlines some of the essential properties of such conversation definitions, compare with other similar approaches, and discuss potential directions for further research. |
