Despite decades of research in extensible operating system technology, extensions such as device drivers remain a significant cause of system failures. In Windows XP, for example,...
: Run-time executives and operating system kernels for embedded systems have long relied exclusively on static priority scheduling of tasks to ensure timing constraints and other c...
Malware and rootkits are serious security vulnerabilities, and they can be designed to be resistant to anti-viral software, or even totally undetectable. This paper described a hi...
High-performance computing clusters running longlived tasks currently cannot have kernel software updates applied to them without causing system downtime. These clusters miss oppo...
The current trend in operating systems research is to allow applications to dynamically extend the kernel to improve application performance or extend functionality, but the most ...
