Horizontal Code Transfer via Program Fracture and Recombination
(2015-04-14)
We present a new horizontal code transfer technique, program fracture and recombination, for automatically replacing, deleting, and/or combining code from multiple applications. Benefits include automatic generation of new ...
Automatic Error Elimination by Multi-Application Code Transfer
(2014-10-02)
We present pDNA, a system for automatically transfer- ring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications to successfully eliminate errors in the recipient. Experimental results using six donor applications ...
Latent Case Model: A Generative Approach for Case-Based Reasoning and Prototype Classification
(2014-05-26)
We present a general framework for Bayesian case-based reasoning and prototype classification and clustering -- Latent Case Model (LCM). LCM learns the most representative prototype observations of a dataset by performing ...
Alpenhorn: Bootstrapping Secure Communication without Leaking Metadata
(2016-10-05)
Alpenhorn is the first system for initiating an encrypted connection between two users that provides strong privacy and forward secrecy guarantees for metadata (i.e., information about which users connected to each other) ...
Oort: User-Centric Cloud Storage with Global Queries
(2016-12-08)
In principle, the web should provide the perfect stage for user-generated content, allowing users to share their data seamlessly with other users across services and applications. In practice, the web fragments a user's ...
Examining Key Mobility Resources through Denial of Service Attacks on proposed Global Name Resolution Services
(2016-09-26)
The problem we address in this thesis is to uncover the design elements in a network architecture design that may open it up to denial of service (DoS) attacks and to expose the tradeoffs in mitigating those DoS opportunities. ...
Deep Learning without Poor Local Minima
(2016-05-23)
In this paper, we prove a conjecture published in 1989 and also partially address an open problem announced at the Conference on Learning Theory (COLT) 2015. For an expected loss function of a deep nonlinear neural network, ...
OpLog: a library for scaling update-heavy data structures
(2014-09-16)
Existing techniques (e.g., RCU) can achieve good multi-core scaling for read-mostly data, but for update-heavy data structures only special-purpose techniques exist. This paper presents OpLog, a general-purpose library ...
Relational Cloud: The Case for a Database Service
(2010-03-14)
In this paper, we make the case for â databases as a serviceâ (DaaS), with two target scenarios in mind: (i) consolidation of data management functionality for large organizations and (ii) outsourcing data management ...
Reliably Detecting Connectivity using Local Graph Traits
(2010-09-09)
Local distributed algorithms can only gather sufficient information to identify local graph traits, that is, properties that hold within the local neighborhood of each node. However, it is frequently the case that global ...
