Penn State researchers have developed software that more quickly and efficiently ensures that databases don’t release unauthorized information.

The software, QFilter, “sits” between users and databases and filters or culls out unauthorized requests for data before a database responds to a query. “We have shifted the thinking from data filtering to query filtering,” said Dongwon Lee, assistant professor in the School of Information Sciences and Technology (IST). “This is a prac

Software AG, which specialises in modernising business-critical systems and integrating information, has developed a platform that helps organisations to generate reports faster, more simply and at a lower cost, for both internal and external use. To develop the platform, Software AG based itself on Internet technology and XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), an open technology standard. Software AG will introduce a test version of its Digital Reporting Platform at the 10th Annual XBRL Inte

A revolutionary new invention in optics which will lead to the production of energy efficient, low cost, high performance, large flat screens for information displays, educational displays and ultimately home cinema/TV, could soon be on the way thanks to NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) – the organisation that champions UK creativity and innovation.

A small Cambridge-based start-up, CamFPD, have received an investment of £150,000 from NESTA to he

In one of the most important moves to bring together national supercomputing infrastructures to advance science and technology in Europe, several leading European HPC centres devised an innovative strategy to build a terascale supercomputing facility with continental scope, called Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications (DEISA).

Led by IDRIS-CNRS (France) the DEISA project started its activities in May 2004 with eight partners: FZJ and RZG in Germany, CI

A critical benchmarking test indicates that a processing-in-memory (PIM) chip designed and prototyped at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute is delivering the speedup designers hoped.

A team of ISI computer scientists led by software specialist Mary Hall and chip designer Jeff Draper earlier this year successfully integrated the new PIM chip, called “Godiva,” into a Hewlett-Packard Long’s Peak Server. Hall and Draper will discuss their work at th
