Metafor

The site lists several papers and has a .MOV demo showing the system in use:

I am somewhat interested in this topic but as yet ignorant of the literature. If you know of some cool papers or background research in this area please post some info here or in the comments.

Collapsar: An attempt at effectively distributing honeypots

http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dxu/pubs/Security04.pdf

Not too much new here; just a discussion of the current issues surrounding distributing honeypots and handling the data collection. They go on to talk about their methods of implementing a system they call Collapsar and give their results. Worthwhile if you're interested in what people are doing in this general field.
