Just to mention a new project: Surveill@Home (http://surveill.dei.uc.pt/surveill)

Surveill@Home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to conduct end-to-end fine-grained monitoring of web sites.
The aim of the project is to deploy a large infrastructure to support thousands of probes monitoring the Internet.
Each probe repeatedly performs a pre-defined set of web transactions on web-sites, performing active web monitoring from the last mile.

The proposed approach allows us to obtain important results on end-user visible failures and performance statics.
With the help of the volunteer community we will achieve this ambitious goal.

We are welcoming BOINC users who want to participate in our initial monitoring effort.

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,

Carlos Vaz
