Abstract To realise an Ambient Intelligence environment, it is paramount that applications
can dispose of information about the context in which they operate, preferably in a very …

This article presents a practical solution for the cyclic debugging of nondeterministic parallel
programs. The solution consists of a combination of record/replay with automatic on-the-fly …

This paper studies and evaluates the extent to which automated compiler techniques can
defend against timing-based side-channel attacks on modern x86 processors. We study how …

Objectives: To study associations between antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and
signs/symptoms in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: A …

A key challenge in benchmarking is to predict the performance of an application of interest
on a number of platforms in order to determine which platform yields the best performance …

Value prediction is a relatively new technique to increase the Instruction Level Parallelism
(ILP) in future microprocessors. An important problem when designing a value predictor is …

Speeding up sequential programs on multicores is a challenging problem that is in urgent
need of a solution. Automatic parallelization of irregular pointer-intensive codes, exemplified …

Modern software engineering techniques introduce an overhead to programs in terms of
performance and code size. A traditional development environment, where only the compiler …

Despite the recent advances in the theory underlying obfuscation, there still is a need to
evaluate the quality of practical obfuscating transformations more quickly and easily. This …

Traditional optimizing compilers are limited in the scope of their optimizations by the fact that
only a single function, or possibly a single module, is available for analysis and optimization …
