Naming my system as Argus

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Yang,
Just to follow up, Argus has been presented in papers at IMC'10, IMC'08 and at IMC'05, and has been in topics discussed at many other IMC discussions.  I did a simple search of IMC and argus, and stopped at three hits.

You may want to report to the review committee that your Argus is not the same Argus that has been presented at IMC before.

There are almost 10,000 emails that discuss our Argus project's development, just in our own mailing list.  Our Argus has had over 50,000 downloads, and is in the "Top 100 Security Tools" in the Internet.  And just as an example, It is currently being used operationally in support of research networking, particularly between the US and China (GLORIAD).
