- Demo Abstract: Measuring Foot Pronation Using RFID Sensor Networks
- Running efficiency is an important factor to consider in order to avoid injury. In particular, foot pronation, the angle of the foot as it hits the ground, is a common cause for many types of injuries among runners. Though pronation is common, diagnosing pronation is difficult and imprecise. Currently there...

- Wildlife and Environmental Monitoring Using RFID and WSN Technology
- Wireless Sensor Networks enable scientists to collect information about the environment with a granularity unseen before, while providing numerous challenges to software designers. Since sensor devices are often powered by small batteries, which take considerable effort to replace, it is of major importance to use energy carefully. The paper presents...

- Biorthogonality, Step-Indexing and Compiler Correctness
- This paper defines logical relations between the denotational semantics of a simply typed functional language with recursion and the operational behaviour of low-level programs in a variant SECD machine. The relations, which are defined using biorthogonality and step-indexing, capture what it means for a piece of low-level code to implement...

- Locking Key Ranges With Unbundled Transaction Services
- To adapt database technology to new environments like cloud platforms or multi-core hardware, or to try anew to provide an extensible database platform, it is useful to separate transaction services from data management elements that need close physical proximity to data. With "Generic" transactional services of concurrency control and recovery...

- Why Should We Integrate Services, Servers, and Networking in a Data Center?
- Since the early days of networks, a basic principle has been that endpoints treat the network as a black box. An end-point injects a packet with a destination address and the network delivers the packet. This principle has served one well, and allowed one to scale the Internet to billions...

- De-Anonymizing the Internet Using Unreliable IDs
- Today's Internet is open and anonymous. While it permits free traffic from any host, attackers that generate malicious traffic cannot typically be held accountable. This paper, presents a system called HostTracker that tracks dynamic bindings between hosts and IP addresses by leveraging application-level data with unreliable IDs. Using a month-long...

- Detailed Diagnosis in Enterprise Networks
- By studying trouble tickets from small enterprise networks, the paper concludes that their operators need detailed fault diagnosis. That is, the diagnostic system should be able to diagnose not only generic faults (e.g., performance-related) but also application specific faults (e.g., error codes). It should also identify culprits at a fine...

- Delegating Network Security With More Information
- Network security is gravitating towards more centralized control. Strong centralization places a heavy burden on the administrator who has to manage complex security policies and be able to adapt to users' requests. To be able to cope, the administrator needs to delegate some control back to end-hosts and users, a...

- OLS - Opportunistic Localization System for Smart Phones Devices
- People are eager to locate their peers on a campus or in buildings and stay connected with them. OLS makes that simple. OLS's core technology is an opportunistic location system based on smart phone devices. Its main advantage is that it seamlessly works throughout heterogeneous environment including indoors as opposed...

- Your Botnet Is My Botnet: Analysis of a Botnet Takeover
- Botnets, networks of malware-infected machines that are controlled by an adversary, are the root cause of a large number of security problems on the Internet. A particularly sophisticated and insidious type of bot is Torpig, a malware program that is designed to harvest sensitive information (such as bank account and...

- Architectural Considerations for Distributed RFID Tracking and Monitoring
- This paper discusses architectural challenges in designing a distributed, scalable system for RFID tracking and monitoring. The paper argues for the need to combine inference and query processing techniques into a single system and consider several architectural choices for building such a system. Key research challenges in designing the system...

- Predicting User Interests From Contextual Information
- Search and recommendation systems must include contextual information to effectively model users' interests. This paper presents a systematic study of the effectiveness of five variant sources of contextual information for user interest modeling. Post-query navigation and general browsing behaviors far outweigh direct search engine interaction as an information-gathering activity. Therefore...

- Automated Control in Cloud Computing: Challenges and Opportunities
- With advances in virtualization technology, virtual machine services offered by cloud utility providers are becoming increasingly powerful, anchoring the ecosystem of cloud services. Virtual computing services are attractive in part because they enable customers to acquire and release computing resources for guest applications adaptively in response to load surges and...

- WaterCooler: Exploring an Organization Through Enterprise Social Media
- As organizations scale up, their collective knowledge increases, and the potential for serendipitous collaboration between members grows dramatically. However, finding people with the right expertise or interests becomes much more difficult. Semi-structured social media, such as blogs, forums, and bookmarking, present a viable platform for collaboration - if enough people...

- Using Static Analysis for Ajax Intrusion Detection
- This paper presents a static control-flow analysis for JavaScript programs running in a web browser. The analysis tackles numerous challenges posed by modern web applications including asynchronous communication, frameworks, and dynamic code generation. The paper uses the analysis to extract a model of expected client behavior as seen from the...

- Detecting Image Spam Using Local Invariant Features and Pyramid Match Kernel
- Image spam is a new obfuscating method which spammers invented to more effectively bypass conventional text based spam filters. This paper extracts local invariant features of images and runs a one-class SVM classifier which uses the pyramid match kernel as the kernel function to detect image spam. Experimental results demonstrate...

- File-System Intrusion Detection by Preserving MAC DTS: A Loadable Kernel Module Based Approach for LINUX Kernel 2.6.x
- Every operating system has its own set of critical files, whose access is generally protected by access control mechanisms, native to the operating system. The importance of such files also simultaneously invites their inspection, unauthorized modification and tampering. So, the need for preserving the authenticity of these critical files along...

- Resonance on the Web: Web Dynamics and Revisitation Patterns
- The Web is a dynamic, ever-changing collection of information accessed in a dynamic way. This paper explores the relationship between Web page content change (obtained from an hourly crawl of over 40K pages) and people's revisitation to those pages (collected via a large scale log analysis of 2.3M users). The...
