Abstract—Developing CPU scheduling algorithms and understanding their impact in practice can be difficult and time consuming due to the need to modify and test operating system ...
Taint analysis, a form of information-flow analysis, establishes whether values from untrusted methods and parameters may flow into security-sensitive operations. Taint analysis...

Unchecked errors are especially pernicious in operating system file management code. Transient or permanent hardware failures are inevitable, and error-management bugs at the fi...
Dynamic compilers can optimize application code specifically for observed code behavior. Such behavior does not have to be stable across the entire program execution to be bene...
