2D image representations are in regular grids and can be processed efficiently, whereas 3D point clouds are unordered and scattered in 3D space. The information inside these two visual domains is well complementary, e.g., 2D images have…
Due to the open-source nature of the blockchain ecosystem, it is common for new blockchains to fork or partially reuse the code of classic blockchains. For example, the popular Dogecoin, Litecoin, Binance BSC, and Polygon are all variants…
The greatest advantage that Web3 applications offer over Web 2.0 is the evolution of the data access layer. Opaque, centralized services that compelled trust from users are replaced by trustless, decentralized systems of smart contracts.…
Modern edge applications demand novel solutions where edge applications do not have to rely on a single cloud provider (which cannot be in the vicinity of every edge device) or dedicated edge servers (which cannot scale as clouds) for…
System call filtering is a widely used security mechanism for protecting a shared OS kernel against untrusted user applications. However, existing system call filtering techniques either are too expensive due to the context switch overhead…
Breadth-first search (BFS) is known as a basic search strategy for learning graph properties. As the scales of graph databases have increased tremendously in recent years, large-scale graphs G are often disk-resident. Obtaining the BFS…
Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) is a language and run-time system that allows non-superusers to extend the Linux and Windows operating systems by downloading user code into the kernel. To ensure that user code is safe to run in kernel…
Blockchain scalability can be complicated and costly. As enterprises begin to adopt blockchain technology to solve business problems, there are valid concerns if blockchain applications can support the transactional demands of production…
Although blockchain, the supporting technology of various cryptocurrencies, has offered a potentially effective framework for numerous decentralized trust management systems, its performance is still sub-optimal in real-world networks. With…
BEFANA is a free and open-source software tool for ecological network analysis and visualisation. It is adapted to ecologists' needs and allows them to study the topology and dynamics of ecological networks as well as apply selected machine…
Presently, Bangladesh is expending substantial efforts to digitize its national infrastructure, with a significant emphasis on achieving this goal through mobile applications that facilitate online payments and banking system advancements.…
Context: The combination of distributed stream processing with microservice architectures is an emerging pattern for building data-intensive software systems. In such systems, stream processing frameworks such as Apache Flink, Apache Kafka…
Blockchains are maintained by a network of participants that run algorithms designed to maintain collectively a distributed machine tolerant to Byzantine attacks. From the point of view of users, blockchains provide the illusion of…
Chebfun and related software projects for numerical computing with functions are based on the idea that at each step of a computation, a function $f(x)$ defined on an interval $[a,b]$ is "rounded" to a prescribed precision by constructing a…
Exact queueing analysis of erasure networks with network coding in a finite buffer regime is an extremely hard problem due to the large number of states in the network. In such networks, packets are lost due to either link erasures or due…
Explicit characterization and computation of the multi-source network coding capacity region (or even bounds) is long standing open problem. In fact, finding the capacity region requires determination of the set of all entropic vectors…
Hyperledger Fabric is a platform for permissioned blockchain networks that enables secure and auditable distributed data storage for enterprise applications. There is a growing interest in applications based on this platform, but its use…
Inefficient data management has been the Achilles heel of blockchain-based decentralized applications (dApps). An off-chain storage layer, which lies between the application and the blockchain layers, can improve space efficiency and data…
We introduce the notion of \emph{traceable mixnets}. In a traditional mixnet, multiple mix-servers jointly permute and decrypt a list of ciphertexts to produce a list of plaintexts, along with a proof of correctness, such that the…
The virtualization of compute and network resources enables an unseen flexibility for deploying network services. A wide spectrum of emerging technologies allows an ever-growing range of orchestration possibilities in cloud-based…
