Dynamic linking, as in Java and C#, allows users to execute the most recent versions of software without re-compilation or re-linking. Dynamic linking is guided by type names stored in the bytecode. In current dynamic linking schemes, these type names are hard-coded into the bytecode. Thus, the bytecode reflects the compilation environment that produced it. However, the compilation environment ...

In this paper, we address the problem of defending against entry-exit linking attacks in Tor, a popular anonymous communication system. We formalize the problem as a repeated non-cooperative game between the defender and the adversary (i.e., controller of the compromised Tor nodes to carry out entryexit linking attacks). Given the current path selection algorithm of Tor, we derive an optimal at...

The exponential rise in wireless communication demands and allied applications have revitalized academia-industries to develop more efficient routing protocols. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) being battery operated network, it often undergoes node death-causing pre-ma...

The pitfalls of naive robot simulations have been recognised for areas such as evolutionary robotics. It has been suggested that carefully validated ispell slides.tex simulations with a proper treatment of noise may overcome these problems. This paper reports the results of experiments intended to test some of these claims. A simulation was constructed of a two-wheeled Khepera robot with IR and...

This study explored the relationships between maternal gatekeeping, mothers’perceptions of father competence, mothers’ attitudes about the father role, and amount of father involvement. The sample consisted of 30 nonresidential and 72 residential fathers. The results of path analysis revealed that residential status of the father had a direct link to mothers’ gatekeeping behavior. Father compet...

Federated cloud organizations, spanning across multiple networked sites that provide both computing and storage resources, can be considered the state-of-the-art solutions for providing multi-tenant runtime services in modern distributed processing environments. In these scenarios, by re-optimizing the communication paths between virtual machines and big data sources, at evenly spaced interval ...
