SUNDR is a network file system designed to store data securely on untrusted servers. SUNDR lets clients detect any attempts at unauthorized file modification by malicious server o...
We propose a method to reuse unmodified device drivers and to improve system dependability using virtual machines. We run the unmodified device driver, with its original operating...
Technical support contributes 17% of the total cost of ownership of today's desktop PCs [25]. An important element of technical support is troubleshooting misconfigured appli...

Program-counter-based (PC-based) prediction techniques have been shown to be highly effective and are widely used in computer architecture design. In this paper, we explore the op...
A fundamental piece of information required in intelligent storage systems is the liveness of data. We formalize the notion of liveness within storage, and present two classes of ...
