Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this...
Malicious programs spy on users’ behavior and compromise their privacy. Even software from reputable vendors, such as Google Desktop and Sony DRM media player, may perform undes...

We introduce a framework for reordering join pipelines at runtime in a database system. This framework incorporates novel techniques for simulating the execution of a join pipeline...
The ability to automatically detect `visually interesting' regions in an image has many practical applications especially in the design of active machine vision systems. This...
