Virtual Try-on (VTON) involves generating images of a person wearing selected garments. Diffusion-based methods, in particular, can create high-quality images, but they struggle to maintain the identities of the input garments. We…

Similarity metrics, e.g., signatures as used by anti-virus products, are the dominant technique to detect if a given binary is malware. The underlying assumption of this approach is that all instances of a malware (or even malware family)…

Virtualization technology is widely used for sharing the abilities of computer systems by splitting the resources among various virtual PCs. In traditional computer systems, the utilization of hardware is not maximized and the resources are…

Multi-agent systems can solve complex tasks through collaboration between multiple Large Language Model agents. Existing collaboration frameworks typically operate in either a parallel or a sequential mode. In the parallel mode, agents…

Graph processing at scale presents many challenges, including the irregular structure of graphs, the latency-bound nature of graph algorithms, and the overhead associated with distributed execution. While existing frameworks such as Spark…

Nested virtualization is now widely supported by major cloud vendors, allowing users to leverage virtualization-based technologies in the cloud. However, supporting nested virtualization significantly increases host hypervisor complexity…

Context: Computational diversity, i.e., the presence of a set of programs that all perform compatible services but that exhibit behavioral differences under certain conditions, is essential for fault tolerance and security. Objective: We…

Multicore systems present on-board memory hierarchies and communication networks that influence performance when executing shared memory parallel codes. Characterising this influence is complex, and understanding the effect of particular…

The Internet, as a global system of interconnected networks, carries an extensive array of information resources and services. Key requirements include good quality-of-service and protection of the infrastructure from nefarious activity…

Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, and attackers can use different mechanisms, such as denial of service (DoS) and false data injection (FDI). Furthermore, multiple attack types can be launched simultaneously, known as hybrid attacks,…

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are one of the most widely used generative models. GANs can learn complex multi-modal distributions, and generate real-like samples. Despite the major success of GANs in generating synthetic data, they…

Heterogeneous computing, which incorporates GPUs, NPUs, and FPGAs, is increasingly utilized to improve the efficiency of computer systems. However, this shift has given rise to significant security and privacy concerns, especially when the…

OMNeT++ is a widely used platform for all types of network simulations. The open source simulation framework Artery can be used to perform Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) simulations. This paper presents an approach for connecting this…

Network hypervisors provide the network virtualization layer for Software Defined Networking (SDN). They enable virtual network (VN) tenants to bring their SDN controllers to program their logical networks individually according to their…

The emerging hybrid DRAM-NVM architecture is challenging the existing memory management mechanism in operating system. In this paper, we introduce memos, which can schedule memory resources over the entire memory hierarchy including cache,…

The Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) format has been introduced to complement Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) with security advisories of known vulnerabilities. VEX gives an accurate understanding of vulnerabilities found in…

Monitoring heterogeneous infrastructures and applications is essential to cope with user requirements properly, but it still lacks enhancements. The well-known state-of-the-art methods and tools do not support seamless monitoring of…

Software vulnerabilities are a challenge in cybersecurity. Manual security patches are often difficult and slow to be deployed, while new vulnerabilities are created. Binary code vulnerability detection is less studied and more complex…

Fault tolerance is one of the major design goals for HPC. The emergence of non-volatile memories (NVM) provides a solution to build fault tolerant HPC. Data in NVM-based main memory are not lost when the system crashes because of the…

Thanks to the improvements experienced in technology in the last few years, most especially in virtual reality systems, the number and potential of networked virtual environments or NVEs and their users are increasing. NVEs aim to give…
