RPC in the x-Kernel: Evaluating New Design Techniques
This paper reports our experiences implementing remote procedure call (RPC) protocols in the x-kernel. This exercise is interesting because the RPC protocols exploit two novel des...

Safe Kernel Extensions Without Run-Time Checking
This paper describes a mechanism by which an operating system kernel can determine with certainty that it is safe to execute a binary supplied by an untrusted source. The kernel r...

The performance impact of kernel prefetching on buffer cache replacement algorithms
A fundamental challenge in improving the file system performance is to design effective block replacement algorithms to minimize buffer cache misses. Despite the well-known int...

Automated detection of persistent kernel control-flow attacks
This paper presents a new approach to dynamically monitoring operating system kernel integrity, based on a property called state-based control-flow integrity (SBCFI). Violations ...

Towards drift correction in chemical sensors using an evolutionary strategy
Gas chemical sensors are strongly affected by the so-called drift, i.e., changes in sensors’ response caused by poisoning and aging that may significantly spoil the measures g...
