This paper reports the findings of a study where users (N=220) interacted with Malexa, Alexa’s malicious twin. Malexa is an intelligent voice assistant simple and seemingly harmless third-party skill that delivers news briefings to users. The twist, however, covertly rewords these intentionally introduce misperception about reported events. covert rewording referred as Malware-Induced Mispercep...

Java RMI is the computational model used to develop distributed systems in the Java language. Although widely used in the construction of distributed systems, the use of Java RMI is limited because this middleware does not allow asynchronous method invocations. This paper presents FlexRMI, a Java based system that supports asynchronous invocations of remote methods. FlexRMI is completely implem...

This paper compares interaction and communication mechanisms used in distributed control systems, focusing on object-oriented and component-based development. The standard communication model used in distributed objectoriented systems is the remote method invocation. We argue that this client/server oriented model has some severe drawbacks when used in a control system where objects may have to...

Various notions of conformance between operations of a subtype and operations of a supertype have been proposed (e.g., contravariance and covariance). Similarly, diierent notions of \consistent extension" of object life cycles can be deened to meet various objectives. This paper treats inheritance of object life cycles in the realm of behavior diagrams that identify legal sequences of states an...

Invocation handling mechanisms in many concurrent languages have signiicant limitations that make it diicult or costly to solve common programming situations encountered in program visu-alization, debugging, and scheduling scenarios. This paper discusses these limitations, introduces new language mechanisms aimed at remedying these limitations, and presents an implementation of the new mechanis...

In general, modern computer systems are distributed systems. Such systems are implemented as computer networks, whose components jointly use and exchange data. To describe distributed systems at abstract level client-server model can be used. In terms of this model, client makes invocation, containing all necessary parameters, on server. Server receives the invocation, performs needed actions a...

Distributed applications are realized by cooperation of multiple objects. Each object is manipulated through a method supported by the object and then the method may further invoke methods of other objects. Purpose-oriented access rules indicate what methods in objects can invoke methods of other objects. Information flow among the objects occurs if the requests and responses of the methods car...
