151 Regehr, JohnUnderstanding integer overflow in C/C++Integer overflow bugs in C and C++ programs are difficult to track down and may lead to fatal errors or exploitable vulnerabilities. Although a number of tools for finding these bugs exist, the situation is complicated because not all overflows are bugs. Better tools need to be constructed-but a tho...2012-01-01
152 Regehr, JohnEfficient memory safety for TinyOSReliable sensor network software is difficult to create: applications are concurrent and distributed, hardware-based memory protection is unavailable, and severe resource constraints necessitate the use of unsafe, low-level languages. Our work improves this situation by providing efficient memory an...2007-01-01
153 Regehr, JohnHLS: a framework for composing soft real-time schedulersHierarchical CPU scheduling has emerged as a way to (1) support applications with diverse scheduling requirements in open systems, and (2) provide load isolation between applications, users, and other resource principals. Most existing work on hierarchical scheduling has focused on systems that prov...2001-01-01
154 Regehr, JohnEfficient type and memory safety for tiny embedded systemsWe report our experience in implementing type and memory safety in an efficient manner for sensor network nodes running TinyOS: tiny embedded systems running legacy, C-like code. A compiler for a safe language must often insert dynamic checks into the programs it produces; these generally make progr...2006-01-01
155 Chatterjee, Niladrish; Balasubramonian, Rajeev; Davis, Alan L.Rethinking DRAM design and organization for energy-constrained multicoresDRAM vendors have traditionally optimized for low cost and high performance, often making design decisions that incur energy penalties. For example, a single conventional DRAM access activates thousands of bitlines in many chips, to return a single cache line to the CPU. The other bits may be access...DRAM power consumption; Data-center power; Multicore memory; Trapeze Interactive Poster2010-03-15
156 Johnson, Robert R.Patterns of patternsPurpose of this Poster is to demonstrate that it takes the patterns of values in all the many dimensions to place each patient in the final patterns shown in each of the 5 charts. The final patterns determine the ability of each technology to identify or distinguish patients in each class. It is p...Gene patterns; Colon cancer; Trapeze Interactive poster2010-03-15

Wireless link signature; multiple paths caused by radio waves; their measurements are good signatures of links; link signatures measured almost symmetrically at two ends of wireless link, but cannot be measured from another location; use for secret key establishment;...
158 Berzins, MartinAdaptive high-order discontinuous galerkin solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication point contact problemsThis paper describes an adaptive implementation of a high order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problems. These problems arise when modelling the thin lubricating film between contacts which are under sufficiently high pressur...2012-01-01
159 Joshi, Sarang; Venkatasubramanian, SureshMatching shapes using the current distanceCurrent Distance: It was introduced by Vaillant and Glaunès as a way of comparing shapes (point sets, curves, surfaces). This distance measure is defined by viewing a shape as a linear operator on a k-form field, and constructing a (dual) norm on the space of shapes. Shape Matching: Given two s...
160 Li, Peng; Regehr, JohnT-check: bug finding for sensor networksA safety property is true if something bad never happens. If any state in an execution violates the safety property, the entire execution violates that property. A liveness property holds if something good will eventually happen. An execution satisfies a liveness property if the execution will en...2010-02-26
161 Regehr, John; Pagariya, Rohit PannalaljiDirect equivalence testingTesting embedded software is difficult. • Further complicated by presence of memory and type safety errors in software. • Compiler contain various known bugs. Developers are skeptical to upgrade the compilers. • Is your embedded software affected by memory safety and compilation erro...

163 Tripathi, Abhishek; Bremer, Peer-Timo; Pascucci, ValerioUnderstanding global climate changeWhat is Climate Modeling? Use of quantitative methods to simulate the interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. Average Global Temperatures indicate a warming trend but that alone does not explain why it is happening.
164 Nguyen, Hoa Thanh; Nguyen, Thanh Hoang; Freire, JulianaDeepPeep: A Form Search EngineWe present DeepPeep (http://www.deeppeep.org), a new search engine specialized in Web forms. DeepPeep uses a scalable infrastructure for discovering, organizing and analyzing Web forms which serve as entry points to hidden-Web sites. DeepPeep provides an intuitive interface that allows users t...

Alice: probabilistically inject parts of coded message into field ? Bob: extract symbols from field, decode to correct errors ?Warden: assume full knowledge of system and keys Can we create un...2010-10-06
166 Regehr, JohnAtomicity and visibility in tiny embedded systemsVisibility is a property of a programming language's memory model that determines when values stored by one concurrent computation become visible to other computations. Our work exploits the insight that in nesC, a C-like language with explicit atomicity, the traditional way of ensuring timely visib...2006-01-01

172 Pugsley, Seth H; Spjut, Josef Bo; Nellans, David W; Balasubramonian, RajeevSWEL: hardware cache coherence protocols to map shared data onto shared cachesIn chip multiprocessors, replication of cache lines is allowed to reduce the latency each core has to access a cache line. Because of this replication, it is possible for one copy of data to become out of date if another copy of that data is modified. How a MESI protocol accomplishes this: ? K...
