Many software attacks are based on injecting malicious code into a target host. This paper demonstrates the use of a wellknown technique, data tainting, to track data received from the network as it propagates through a system and to prevent its execution....

—Restoring data operations after a disaster is a daunting task: how should recovery be performed to minimize data loss and application downtime? Administrators are under considerable pressure to recover quickly, so they lack time to make good scheduling decisions. They schedule recovery based on rules of thumb, or on pre-determined orders that might not be best for the failure occurrence....

Video-on-demand over IP (VOD) is one of the best-known examples of “next-generation” Internet applications cited as a goal by networking and multimedia researchers. Without empirical data, researchers have generally relied on simulated models to drive their design and developmental efforts....

Computer problem diagnosis remains a serious challenge to users and support professionals. Traditional troubleshooting methods relying heavily on human intervention make the process inefficient and the results inaccurate even for solved problems, which contribute significantly to user’s dissatisfaction....

Run-time conflicts can affect even the most rigorously tested software systems. A reliance on execution-based testing makes it prohibitively costly to test every possible interaction among potentially thousands of programs with complex configurations....

The database tier of dynamic content servers at large Internet sites is typically hosted on centralized and expensive hardware. Recently, research prototypes have proposed using database replication on commodity clusters as a more economical scaling solution. In this paper, we propose using database replication to support multiple applications on a shared cluster....

Distributed systems are hard to build, profile, debug, and test. Monitoring a distributed system – to detect and analyze bugs, test for regressions, identify fault-tolerance problems or security compromises – can be difficult and error-prone. In this paper we argue that declarative development of distributed systems is well suited to tackle these tasks....

The large size and high complexity of securitysensitive applications and systems software is a primary cause for their poor testability and high vulnerability. One approach to alleviate this problem is to extract the security-sensitive parts of application and systems software, thereby reducing the size and complexity of software that needs to be trusted....

Usage-awaRe Interactive Content Adaptation (URICA) is an automatic technique that adapts content for display on mobile devices based on usage semantics. URICA allows users who are unsatisfied with the system’s adaptation decision to take control of the adaptation process and make changes until the content is suitably adapted for their purposes....
