Performance Interfaces for Network Functions

George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces---documentation, header files, specifications---that succinctly describe what that th ...

Too Quiet in the Library: An Empirical Study of Security Updates in Android Apps' Native Code

Mathias Josef Payer

Android apps include third-party native libraries to increase performance and to reuse functionality. Native code is directly executed from apps through the Java Native Interface or the Android Native Development Kit. Android developers add precompiled nat ...

Content Based Status Updates

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser, Elie Najm

Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: high priority or ordinary (low priority). These updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. However, the transmission policy of each pack ...

Content Based Status Updates

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser, Elie Najm

Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: priority or ordinary; these updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. We analyze a transmission policy that treats updates depending on ...

Optimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the ...

CHAINIAC: Proactive Software-Update Transparency via Collectively Signed Skipchains and Verified Builds

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Nicolas Gailly, Ismail Khoffi, Kirill Nikitin

Software-update mechanisms are critical to the security of modern systems, but their typically centralized design presents a lucrative and frequently attacked target. In this work, we propose CHAINIAC, a decentralized software-update framework that elimina ...

Improving systems software security through program analysis and instrumentation

Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Security and reliability bugs are prevalent in systems software. Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management and type safety to programmers. This invites bugs that cause cra ...

Techniques for Detection, Root Cause Diagnosis, and Classification of In-Production Concurrency Bugs

Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development because it can take weeks or even months before developers can identify and fix them. In-production detection, root cause ...

Alternative Search Techniques for Face Detection Using Location Estimation and Binary Features

Venkatesh Bala Subburaman

The sliding window approach is the most widely used technique to detect objects from an image. In the past few years, classifiers have been improved in many ways to increase the scanning speed. Apart from the classifier design (such as the cascade), the sc ...

Circularly polarized aperture coupled stacked patch antenna element for Ka-band

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Rafal Glogowski

This paper presents the design and implementation of a circularly polarized stacked patch antenna element for Ka-band applications. The printed element has been developed to be used in a LEO satellite antenna array. Two circular stacked patches, with air g ...

The effects of mutual location-awareness on group coordination

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova

The importance of space and place in collaborative practices has been strengthened with the ubiquitous computing paradigm, which aims at the integration of computation in physical objects and places. New location-based applications allow users to know wher ...
