We consider the problem of designing multi-tenant public infrastructure clouds resistant to cross-VM attacks without relying on single-tenancy or on assumptions about the cloud's servers.

How to get the relevant content to the right user quickly, in the midst of network disruptions and resource constraints, is a key research challenge.

We systematically compared the optical performance of two computational photography (CP) approaches used to extend the depth of field of an imaging system: wavefront coding and lattice focal lens imaging.

We propose simple ways in which an assurance case, formalized in a mechanized verification system to support the first purpose, can be adapted to serve the second.

In this paper, we examine the foundations of a quasi-synchronous model of computation Our version of the quasi-synchronous model is inspired by the Robot Operating System (ROS).

We construct the first schemes that allow a client to privately outsource arbitrary program executions to a remote server while ensuring that the client's work is small and essentially independent…

We present Smten, a high-level language for orchestrating and constructing satisfiability-based search queries. We show that applications developed using Smten require significantly fewer lines of code and less developer effort…

Traditional models based on strong computing primitives, such as atomic transactions, should be replaced by weaker models such as the partially ordered knowledge sharing model, which we motivate in this paper…

The Evidential Tool Bus (ETB) is a distributed framework for tool integration for the purpose of building and maintaining assurance cases. We outline the semantic characteristics of the variant of…

We present ROSRV, a runtime verification framework for robotic applications on top of the Robot Operating System (ROS), a widely used open-source framework for robot software development.

The paper describes and illustrates these applications of synchronous observers.
