Enclosure: Language-Based Restriction of Untrusted Libraries

Mathias Josef Payer, James Richard Larus, Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn

Programming languages and systems have failed to address the security implications of the increasingly frequent use of public libraries to construct modern software. Most languages provide tools and online repositories to publish, import, and use libraries ...

Safe initialization of objects

Fengyun Liu

The inception of object-oriented programming introduces a category of bugs related to object construction: initialization errors. Every newly created object goes through several initialization states: starting from a state where all fields are uninitialize ...

Secured Routines: Language-based Construction of Trusted Execution Environments

James Richard Larus, Edouard Bugnion, Adrien Ghosn

Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX enclaves, use hardware to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of operations on sensitive data. While the technology is available on many processors, the complexity of its programming model and i ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

TEMPLE: analysing population genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites

Stefan Jean Laurent, Maria Litovchenko

Genetic variation occurring at the level of regulatory sequences can affect phenotypes and fitness in natural populations. This variation can be analysed in a population genetic framework to study how genetic drift and selection affect the evolution of the ...

Automating Ad hoc Data Representation Transformations

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche

To maximize run-time performance, programmers often specialize their code by hand, replacing library collections and containers by custom objects in which data is restructured for efficient access. However, changing the data representation is a tedious and ...

Synthesizing Java Expressions from Free-Form Queries

Viktor Kuncak, Tihomir Gvero

We present a new code assistance tool for integrated development environments. Our system accepts as input free-form queries containing a mixture of English and Java, and produces Java code expressions that take the query into account and respect syntax, t ...

Systematically testing OpenFlow controller applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Maciej Leszek Kuzniar

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

BactImAS: a platform for processing and analysis of bacterial time-lapse microscopy movies

Zeljka Maglica

Background: The software available to date for analyzing image sequences from time-lapse microscopy works only for certain bacteria and under limited conditions. These programs, mostly MATLAB-based, fail for microbes with irregular shape, indistinct cell d ...

Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

Self-Assembly: Lightweight Language Extension and Datatype Generic Programming, All-in-One!

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug

In this paper we show a general mechanism, called self-assembly, for lightweight language extensions (LLEs). LLEs allow users to define generic operations or properties that operate over a large class of types. With LLEs it is possible, for example, for us ...

Cell Guidance on Nanogratings: A Computational Model of the Interplay between PC12 Growth Cones and Nanostructures

Silvestro Micera

Background: Recently, the effects of nanogratings have been investigated on PC12 with respect to cell polarity, neuronal differentiation, migration, maturation of focal adhesions and alignment of neurites. Methodology/Principal Findings: A synergistic proc ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

Secure Computing with the MPEG RVC Framework

Marco Mattavelli, Richard Thavot, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

Recently, ISO/IEC standardized a dataflow-programming framework called Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) for the specification of video codecs. The RVC framework aims at providing the specification of a system at a high abstraction level so that the functi ...

Memory Power Optimization of Java-Based Embedded Systems Exploiting Garbage Collection Information

David Atienza Alonso

Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamicmemorymanager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in cu ...

Atomic boxes: coordinated exception handling with transactional memory

Vincent Gramoli

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in coordination by all the threads that are affected by their cause. In this pap ...
