1. DYNAMIC SERVER RECONFIGURATION
Reengineering J2EE Servers for Automated Management in Distributed
Environments
Takoua Abdellatif, Jakub Kornas, and Jean-Bernard Stefani
Reengineering a legacy J2EE application server makes it easier to deploy
and reconfigure, especially in distributed environments.

2. FROM IEEE PERVASIVE COMPUTING: GUEST EDITORS' INTRODUCTION
Security & Privacy
Jason Hong, Mahadev Satyanarayanan, and George Cybenko
Security and privacy concerns create challenges and opportunities in
several aspects of pervasive computing, including hardware, operating
systems, networks, databases, user interfaces, and applications.

3. NEWS
Opening the Mobile Net
Greg Goth
iPhone hackers, spectrum auctions, and new carrier technology might put
holes in carriers' walled gardens.

4. EDUCATION
Hacker Curriculum: How We Can Use It in Teaching
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/11/oy002edu.html>
Sergey Bratus and Christopher Masone
A security and privacy course in Dartmouth's Computer Science Department
uses elements of hacking experience to give students a sense of the
issues that arise when software gets exposed to the misuse and abuse of
real users.

5. WORKS IN PROGRESS
Middleware 2007
The 8th International Middleware Conference in Newport Beach, CA, will
cover the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of
distributed systems platforms and architectures for future computing
environments. Learn about some ongoing work and interim results that
will be presented there.

6. FROM IEEE PERVASIVE COMPUTING: WEARABLE COMPUTING
WearIT at work: Toward Real-World Industrial Wearable Computing
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/11/b4wea.html>
Paul Lukowicz, Andreas Timm-Giel, Michael Lawo, and Otthein Herzog
The EU-financed wearIT at work project aims at facilitating real-life
industrial deployment of wearable technology. With 42 partners, this
consortium is the largest civilian wearable-computing effort worldwide.

7. NEW PRODUCTS
Mobile Firewall, Smart Parking Meter, Social Web Browsing...
Maria Ebling and Eyal de Lara
Learn about a mobile firewall with a USB form factor, a smart parking
meter, a communications service that lets you manage all your phones
with a single virtual phone number, and more.

8. FROM IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MOBILE COMPUTING
Distortion-Driven Video Streaming over Multihop Wireless Networks with
Path Diversity
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/11/trans.html>
Xiaolin Tong, Yiannis Andreopoulos, and Mihaela van der Schaar
Multihop networks present unique challenges for video streaming
applications due to the inherent infrastructure unreliability. Using
path diversity can result in performance improvements.
