Since smartphones are usually personal devices full of private information, they are a popular target for a vast variety of real-world attacks such as Code Reuse Attack (CRA). CRAs enable attackers to execute any arbitrary algorithm on a device without injecting an executable code. Since the standard platform for mobile devices is ARM architecture, we concentrate on available ARM-based CRAs. Cu...

ARM is a a 32-bit RISC processor architecture currently being developed by the ARM corporation. The business model behind ARM is based on licensing the ARM architecture to companies that want to manufacture ARM-based CPU’s or system-on-a-chip products. The two main types of licenses are the Implementation license and the Architecture license. The Implementation license provides complete informa...

In this paper an anthropomorphic robot arm is de scribed for service tasks The paper focus mainly on the mechatronics concept of the arm which gets its inspiration from the biology of the human arm This includes the mechanical design kinematical mod elling the range of motion the sensor concept and the hierarchical control architecture

This paper presents a novel robot vision architecture for perceiving generic 3D clothes configurations. Our architecture is hierarchically structured, starting from low-level curvatures, across mid-level geometric shapes & topology descriptions; and finally approaching high-level semantic surface structure descriptions. We demonstrate our robot vision architecture in a customised dual-arm indus...

Architecture modeling is practiced extensively in the software industry but there is little attention paid to the traceability, verifiability and completeness of architecture designs. Deficiencies in any of these three areas in an architecture model can be costly and risky to projects. The case study reported here failed because it was deficient in all areas. We study and propose the Architectu...
