The cloud model’s dependence on massive parallelism and resource sharing exacerbates the security challenge of timing side-channels. Timing Information Flow Control (TIFC) is a novel adaptation of IFC techniques that may offer a way to reason about, and ultimately control, the flow of sensitive information through systems via timing channels. With TIFC, objects such as files, messages, and proc...

We present an optimal timing control formulation for the problem of controlling autonomous puppets. In particular, by appropriately timing the different movements, entire plays can be performed. Such plays are produced by concatenating sequences of motion primitives and a compiler optimizes these sequences, using recent results in optimal switch-time control. Additionally, we apply saddle-point...

This paper describes the method used in the design of a 26 million transistors chip at BULL to verify the timing performance using the hierarchical timing analysis tool HiTas as well as the interactive path browser Xtas. Those tools have been designed at UPMC and are now commercialized by AVERTEC. The complexity is handled by partitioning the analysis according to the hierarchical partitioning ...

We discuss the di erent ways of de ning channel capacity for certain types of illicit communication channels. We also correct some errors from the literature, o er new proofs of some historical results, and give bounds for channel capacity. Special function techniques are employed to express the results in closed form. We conclude with examples.

the purpose of this study was the effect of time of training and first night of sleep on implicit (accuracy) and motor (timing) components of timed motor sequences task (tmst) enhancement. forty-eight right-handed students (19-25 years old), who have had adequate sleep quality, were divided into three equal groups according to purdue hand and fingers' fine motor skills test and simple reac...

ABSTRACT: Relative speech timing was examined in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) and in agematched control speakers. Relative timing ratios were created from temporal intervals in one phrase containing no pause, one phrase containing an optional pause, and one phrase containing a mandatory pause. Results indicated that there were no relative timing differences between participants with ...

Most of the Latin America countries which have introduced market-friendly economic reforms during the course of the last two decades have also suffered serious increases in inequality; the systematic timing coincidence of the two events suggests that the reforms have been one of the causes of the worsening distribution. That major increases in inequality have occurred in many Latin American cou...

We introduce the Generative Template of Features (GTF), a parts-based model for visual object category detection. The GTF consists of a number of parts, and for each part there is a corresponding spatial location distribution and a distribution over ‘visual words’ (clusters of invariant features). The performance of the GTF is evaluated for object localisation, and it is shown that such a relat...
