Computer systems rely heavily on abstraction to manage the exponential growth of complexity across hardware and software. Due to practical considerations of compatibility between components of these complex systems across generations, developers have favou ...
This paper describes the implementation and characterisation of a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) of ultra-light intelligent flying robots. The flying nature of the network makes it suitable to collect or disseminate content in urban areas or challenging ter ...
setuid system calls enable critical functions such as user authentications and modular privileged components. Such operations must only be executed after careful validation. However, current systems do not perform rigorous checks, allowing exploitation of ...
Developing a Trauma Patient Simulator is a very ambitious project that goes far beyond what can be expected for a master thesis. Therefore, it has been decided to focus on blood circulation which is one of the three vital functions described in the first a ...
TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-base ...
CsI photocathodes were studied in order to evaluate their potential use as large photoconverters in RICH detectors for the PID system at ALICE (LHC in heavy ion collider mode). It has been demonstrated that a quantum efficiency comparable to the reference ...
Memory-unsafe languages are widely used to implement critical systems like kernels and browsers, leading to thousands of memory safety issues every year. A use-after-free bug is a temporal memory error where the program accidentally visits a freed memory l ...
