Software attacks often subvert the intended data-flow in a vulnerable program. For example, attackers exploit buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities to write data to u...
Abstract. Collaboration diagrams as described in the official UML documents specify patterns of system structure and interaction. In this paper, we propose their use for specifying...
A common static software bug detection technique is to use path simulation. Each execution path is simulated using symbolic variables to determine if any software errors could occ...
Mobility is redefining the hardware and software fabric of distributed systems. Wireless communication allows network hosts to participate in a distributed computation while on t...
Dynamic scripting languages offer programmers increased flexibility by allowing properties of programs to be defined at run-time. Typically, program execution begins with an int...
