In this paper, we present a network conscious approach to designing distributed real-time systems. Given a task graph design of the system, the end-to-end constraints on the input...

Multi-FPGA systems (MFSs) are used as custom computing machines, logic emulators and rapid prototyping vehicles. A key aspect of these systems is their programmable routing archit...
Despite the increased focus on security, critical information systems remain vulnerable to cyber attacks. The trend lends importance to the concept of intrusion tolerance: there is...

In recent years, malicious software (malware) has become one of the most insidious threats in computer security. However, this is arguably not the result of increased sophisticati...
In this paper, we describe a framework for the computeraided evolution of the designs of object-oriented software systems. Evolution mechanisms are software structures that prepar...
Web browsers are increasingly designed to be extensible to keep up with the Web's rapid pace of change. This extensibility is typically implemented using script-based extensi...

A promising method for the detection of previously unknown code injection attacks is the identification of the shellcode that is part of the attack vector using payload execution....
Current software attacks often build on exploits that subvert machine-code execution. The enforcement of a basic safety property, Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), can prevent such at...
Existing mandatory access control systems for operating systems are difficult to use. We identify several principles for designing usable access control systems and introduce the...

Abstract. Building systems from existing applications written in two or more languages is common practice. Such systems are polylingual. Polylingual systems are relatively easy to ...
