Trace-driven Analysis of an Internet-scale Cloud Computing Platform (2009)

Harrison Duong, Boon Thau, Loo Godfrey Tan

In recent years, cloud computing have become a popular computing paradigm, where computation is moved away from personal computers or an individual application server to a “cloud ” of computers...

Declarative Network Verification (2009)

Anduo Wang, Prithwish Basu, Boon Thau, Loo Oleg Sokolsky

Abstract. In this paper, we present our initial design and implementation of a declarative network verifier (DNV). DNV utilizes theorem proving, a well established verification technique where...

MOSAIC: Unified Declarative Platform for Dynamic Overlay Composition ∗ (2009)

Yun Mao, Boon Thau, Loo Zachary, Ives Jonathan, M. Smith

Overlay networks create new networking services across nodes that communicate using pre-existing networks. MOSAIC is a unified declarative platform for constructing new overlay networks from multiple...

Unified Declarative Platform for Secure Networked Information Systems (2009)

Wenchao Zhou, Yun Mao, Boon Thau, Loo Martín Abadi

Abstract — We present a unified declarative platform for specifying, implementing, and analyzing secure networked information systems. Our work builds upon techniques from logic-based trust...

Declarative Networking: Language, Execution and Optimization (2009)

Boon Thau, Loo Tyson, Condie Minos, Garofalakis David, E. Gay, Joseph M. Hellerstein, ...

The networking and distributed systems communities have recently explored a variety of new network architectures, both for applicationlevel overlay networks, and as prototypes for a next-generation...

MOSAIC: Multiple Overlay Selection and Intelligent Composition (2008)

Yun Mao, Boon Thau, Loo Zachary, Ives Jonathan, M. Smith

Today, the most effective mechanism for remedying shortcomings of the Internet, or augmenting it with new networking capabilities, is to develop and deploy a new overlay network. This leads to the...

Abstract Distributed Web Crawling over DHTs (2007)

Boon Thau, Loo Owen, Cooper Sailesh Krishnamurthy

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a distributed web crawler. We begin by motivating the need for such a crawler, as a basic building block for decentralized web search...

Enhancing P2P File-Sharing with an Internet-Scale Query Processor (2007)

Boon Thau, Loo Joseph, M. Hellerstein, Ryan Huebsch, Scott Shenker, Ion Stoica

In this paper, we address the problem of designing a scalable, accurate query processor for peerto-peer filesharing and similar distributed keyword search systems. Using a globally-distributed...

Abstract Customizable Routing with Declarative Queries (2007)

Boon Thau, Loo Joseph, M. Hellerstein, Ion Stoica

To meet the demands of new Internet applications, recent work argues for giving end-hosts more control over routing. To achieve this goal, we propose the use of a recursive query language, which can...

Towards application-aware anonymous routing (2007)

Micah Sherr, Boon Thau, Loo Matt Blaze

This paper investigates the problem of designing anonymity networks that meet application-specific performance and security constraints. We argue that existing anonymity networks take a narrow view...

Declarative Routing: Extensible Routing with Declarative queries (2005)

Boon Thau, Loo Joseph, M. Hellerstein, Ion Stoica, Raghu Ramakrishnan

The Internet’s core routing infrastructure, while arguably robust and efficient, has proven to be difficult to evolve to accommodate the needs of new applications. Prior research on this problem...
