Projects

akka

Akka is the platform for the next generation event-driven, scalable and fault-tolerant architectures on the JVM We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of ... [More] abstraction. Akka is here to change that. Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provides a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications. For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash" / "Embrace failure" model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heals, systems that never stop.

MooseFS

MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts as other Unix-alike file syst

Knowing Datamining

Datamining framework based on WEKA and Akka.

CloudI: A Cloud as an Interface

CloudI is an open-source private cloud computing framework for efficient, secure, and internal data processing. CloudI provides scaling for previously unscalable source code with efficient fault-tolerant execution of C/C++, Erlang, Java, Python, or Ruby services. The bare essentials for efficient fault-tolerant processing on a cloud!

hipercops-washington

This is part of a graduate-level research project led by Kylan Robinson. It is a product of the High Performance Computing Systems research group at Washington State University (Dr. Jose Delgado-Frias, advisor).

elastras

Elastras is an effort to create an Elastic Transactional Data Store for a Cloud Computing environment. Refer to the following paper for a high level overview. Sudipto Das, Divyakant Agrawal, Amr El Abbadi, "ElasTraS: An Elastic Transactional Data Store in the Cloud", In USENIX Workshop ... [More] on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing (HotCloud '09), in conjunction with USENIX '09. Coming Soon.... [Less]

votebox

IntroductionVoteBox is an electronic voting system designed by computer security researchers at Rice University. It is not an Internet-based voting platform; rather, it is software that is intended to be used on computer terminals in a supervised polling place. VoteBox runs on standard Macs ... [More] , Windows, and Linux computers. The design of VoteBox is described in detail in several research papers, particularly our paper and presentation from USENIX Security 2008. The project home page is votebox.cs.rice.edu, where you can find contact information and a general project description. The source code for VoteBox is hosted here at votebox.googlecode.com, along with instructions for setting up an election and additional wiki documentation. DemonstrationDemonstration videos of the Ballot Preparation Tool, Supervisor Console, and VoteBox client are now available on YouTube. These videos are best viewed in full screen and in HD quality. Ballot Preparation Tool: Supervisor Console & VoteBox Client: SupportResearch and development of VoteBox has been supported by NSF grants CNS-0509297 and CNS-0524211 (the ACCURATE Center). [Less]
