The contentious debates between RISC and CISC have died down, and a CISC ISA, the x86 continues to be popular. Nowadays, processors with CISC-ISAs translate the CISC instructions i...
Many binary tools, such as disassemblers, dynamiccode generation systems, and executable code rewriters, need to understand how machine instructions are encoded. Unfortunately, sp...
Mobile software agents are an increasingly important programming model within the World Wide Web (WWW). Typically programmed in Java or another machine- independent language, the ...
Progress in testing requires that we evaluate the effectiveness of testing strategies on the basis of hard experimental evidence, not just intuition or a priori arguments. Random ...
