The current COVID-19 pandemic highlights the utility of contact tracing, when combined with case isolation and social distancing, as an important tool for mitigating the spread of a disease [1]. Contact tracing provides a mechanism of…
Composable many-core systems enable the independent development and analysis of applications which will be executed on a shared platform where the mix of concurrently executed applications may change dynamically at run time. For each…
Integrated safety and security assurance for complex systems is difficult for many technical and socio-technical reasons such as mismatched processes, inadequate information, differing use of language and philosophies, etc.. Many…
We consider an edge computing scenario where users want to perform a linear computation on local, private data and a network-wide, public matrix. Users offload computations to edge servers located at the edge of the network, but do not want…
Anomaly-based intrusion detection (AID) techniques are useful for detecting novel intrusions into computing resources. One of the most successful AID detectors proposed to date is stide, which is based on analysis of system call sequences.…
Service orientation fosters a high-level model for distributed applications development, which is based on the discovery, composition and reuse of existing software services. However, the heterogeneity among current service-oriented…
Modern single page web applications require client-side executions of application logic, including critical functionality such as client-side cryptography. Existing mechanisms such as TLS and Subresource Integrity secure the communication…
Modern applications often operate on data in multiple administrative domains. In this federated setting, participants may not fully trust each other. These distributed applications use transactions as a core mechanism for ensuring…
The framework of promise theory offers an alternative way of understanding programming models, especially in distributed systems. We show that promise theory can express some familiar constructs and resolve some problems in program…
Mutual exclusion is an important problem in the context of shared resource usage, where only one process can be using the shared resource at any given time. A mutual exclusion protocol that does not use information on the duration for which…
Value independence is enormously beneficial for reasoning about software systems at scale. These benefits carry over into the world of formal verification. Reasoning about programs algebraically is a simple affair in a proof assistant,…
Anticipatory expression underlies human performance. Medical conditions and, especially, aging result in diminished anticipatory action. In order to mitigate the loss, means for engaging still available resources (capabilities) can be…
Sensors embedded in mobile smart devices can monitor users' activity with high accuracy to provide a variety of services to end-users ranging from precise geolocation, health monitoring, and handwritten word recognition. However, this…
This paper presents a new approach in the management of mobile ad hoc networks. Our alternative, based on mobile agent technology, allows the design of mobile centralized server in ad hoc network, where it is not obvious to think about a…
In recent years, there have emerged many new hardware mechanisms for improving the security of our computer systems. Hardware offers many advantages over pure software approaches: immutability of mechanisms to software attacks, better…
Distributed applications often deal with data with different consistency requirements: while a post in a social network only requires weak consistency, the user balance in turn has strong correctness requirements, demanding mutations to be…
Elder people are becoming a predominant aspect of our societies. As such, solutions both efficacious and cost-effective need to be sought. This paper proposes a service-oriented infrastructure approach to this problem. We propose an open…
Static analyses overwhelmingly trade precision for soundness and automation. For this reason, their use-cases are restricted to situations where imprecision isn't prohibitive. In this paper, we propose and specify a static analysis that…
Current proprietary and open-source serverless platforms follow opinionated, hardcoded scheduling policies to deploy the functions to be executed over the available workers. Such policies may decrease the performance and the security of the…
Anonymous communication networks have emerged as crucial tools for obfuscating communication pathways and concealing user identities. However, their practical deployments face significant challenges, including susceptibility to artificial…
