EvoSpaces is a Swiss-wide research project sponsored by the Hasler foundation. It involves three partners: University of Zurich, University of Lugano and the University of Applied...
Past software engineering literature has firmly established that software architectures and the associated code decay over time. Architectural decay is, potentially, a major issu...
It is important to focus on security aspects during the development cycle to deliver reliable software. However, locating security faults in complex systems is difficult and ther...
—This paper deals with the problem of scheduling workflow applications with Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, comprising real-time and interactivity constraints, over a servi...
To-date, security analysis techniques focus on the explicit access to data, thereby neglecting information flows happening over covert channels. As a result, critical business so...
The evolving concepts of mobile computing, context-awareness, and ambient intelligence are increasingly influencing user's experience of services. Therefore, the goal of this...
—In this paper, we define and illustrate a new form of attack in the context of software services: the software-based need-to-know (SN2K) attack. SN2K attacks can be carried out...
This paper reports some experiences in providing service guarantees to real-time (RT) applications running in a Virtual Machine (VM), showing how proper scheduling is a necessary ...
Despite all the advances on techniques to block spam e-mail messages we still receive them on a frequent basis. This is due mainly to the ability of the spammers to modify the mes...
