Fog computing is an emerging technology to address computing and networking bottlenecks
in large scale deployment of IoT applications. It is a promising complementary computing …

Performance problems in software can arise unexpectedly when programs are provided with
inputs that exhibit worst-case behavior. A large body of work has focused on diagnosing …

Denial of service (DoS) attacks increasingly exploit algorithmic, semantic, or implementation
characteristics dormant in victim applications, often with minimal attacker resources …

We show that Linux containers are vulnerable to a new class of attacks–synchronization
attacks–that exploit kernel synchronization to harm application performance, where an …

Abstract Software Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks use maliciously crafted inputs aiming to
exhaust available resources of the target software. These application-level DoS attacks have …

Software systems are often engineered and tested for functionality under normal rather than
worst-case conditions. This makes the systems vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks …

A new class of software Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against Android platforms was
recently discovered, where the attacks can force the victim device unresponsive, target and …

In shared environments such as operating systems, servers (databases, key-value stores),
and hypervisors, multiple tenants with varied requirements compete to access the shared …

Software bugs affect the security, performance, and reliability of critical systems that much of
our society depends on. In practice, the predominant method of ensuring software quality is …

Cloud applications are taking an increasingly important place our technology and economic
landscape. Consequently, they are subject to stringent performance requirements. High tail …
