Multithreaded programs often suffer from synchronization bugs such as atomicity violations and deadlocks. These bugs arise from complicated locking strategies and ad hoc synchroni...

Time Of Check To Time Of Use (TOCTTOU) race conditions for file accesses in user-space applications are a common problem in Unix-like systems. The mapping between filename and i...
Abstract. We study large-scale distributed cooperative systems that use optimistic replication. We represent a system as a graph of actions (operations) connected by edges that rei...
We present the TIC (Transactions with Isolation and Cooperation) model for concurrent programming. TIC adds to standard transactional memory the ability for a transaction to obser...
