Ransomware, a fearsome and an evolving cybersecurity threat, continues to inflict severe consequences on individuals and organizations worldwide. Traditional detection methods, reliant on static signatures and application behavioral patterns, are ...

There have been drastic changes in the storage device landscape recently. At the center of the diverse storage landscape lies the NVMe interface, which allows high-performance and flexible communication models required by these next-generation device ...

Wind turbine emulators (WTE) have become a necessity for testing, developing, and improving design and control strategies in the renewable energy domain. The aim of this paper is to realize an experimental standalone wind energy conversion system ...

The rapid transition to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic left many instructors needing to redesign their course projects as students no longer had access to physical hardware. This paper describes the development of an open-source ...

We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion: Given a planar graph G (with edge weights) and a subset of k terminal vertices, the goal is to construct an ε-emulator, which is a small planar graph G′ that ...

The bursty traffic conditions and fast mobility of consumers induce significant delays in wireless networks. Taking the aforementioned factors into account, designing cost-effective wireless solutions with efficient resource usage and manageability is ...

Well known to the machine learning community, the random feature model is a parametric approximation to kernel interpolation or regression methods. It is typically used to approximate functions mapping a finite-dimensional input space to the real line. In ...

"WebLinux" is a web app tool providing a standard Linux OS and an IDE in the browser, including a terminal, a code editor and a file browser. It provides a client-side and offline Linux OS environment based on a Javascript emulated processor. By ...

The functionality of many mobile applications is dependent on various contextual, external factors. Depending on unforeseen scenarios, mobile apps can even malfunction or crash. In this paper, we have introduced MobiCoMonkey - automated tool that allows ...

Inexpensive surrogates are useful for reducing the cost of science and engineering studies involving large-scale, complex computational models with many input parameters. A ridge approximation is one class of surrogate that models a quantity of interest ...

In the "Big Data" era, fast lookup of keys in a key/value store is a ubiquitous operation. We have designed a near memory accelerator combining simple hardware building blocks to accelerate lookup in a hash table based key/value store. We report on the ...

Jumping has been an important mechanic since its introduction in Donkey Kong. It has taken a variety of forms and shown up in numerous games, with each jump having a different feel. In this paper, we use a modified Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ...

Storage class memory offers the prospect of large capacity persistent memory with DRAM-like access latency. In this work, we evaluate the performance of a small set of benchmarks using SCM as main memory. We use an FPGA emulator to model a range of ...

This paper presents a runtime reconfigurable interface for Hardware-Software Co-Simulations. We present our research project for autonomously configuring smart home networks, in which our hardware-software co-simulation is used to simulate network ...

Software-Defined Wireless Networking (SDWN) is being considered an appealing paradigm to design and operate wireless networks through higher-level abstractions and programmatic interfaces such as the OpenFlow protocol. Identified benefits include cost ...

This paper reviews the task of trusted executable environment construction. It analyses current solutions, highlights their disadvantages. Requirements for trusted executable environment are provided. The article also presents an approach of hardware ...

We study dynamic $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for the all-pairs shortest paths problem in unweighted undirected $n$-node $m$-edge graphs under edge deletions. The fastest algorithm for this problem is a randomized algorithm with a total update ...

Global sensitivity analysis provides information on the relative importance of the input variables for simulator functions used in computer experiments. It is more conclusive than screening methods for determining if a variable is influential, ...

Cutting-edge mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are equipped with

various infrastructureless wireless interfaces, such as WiFi Direct and

Bluetooth. Such technologies allow for novel mobile applications that take

advantage of casual ...

Emulator-based dynamic analysis has been widely deployed in Android application stores. While it has been proven effective in vetting applications on a large scale, it can be detected and evaded by recent Android malware strains that carry detection ...
