Throughout the last few decades, computer software has experienced an arms race between exploitation techniques leveraging memory corruption and detection/protection mechanisms. Effective mitigation techniques, such as Address Space Layout Randomization, have significantly increased the difficulty of successfully exploiting a vulnerability. A modern exploit is often two-stage: a first informati...

This article deals with the dynamic properties of individual wheel electric powertrains for fully electric vehicles, characterised by an in-board location of the motor and transmission, connected to the wheel through half-shafts. Such a layout is applicable to

We present data layout transformation as an effective performance optimization for memory-bound structuredgrid applications for GPUs. Structured grid applications are a class of applications that compute grid cell values on a regular 2D, 3D or higher dimensional regular grid. Each output point is computed as a function of itself and its nearest neighbors. Stencil code is an instance of this app...

this paper presents a strategy for using harmony search algorithm in facility layout optimization problems. in this paper an adapted harmony search algorithm is developed for solving facility layout optimization problems. this method finds an optimal facility arrangement in an existing layout. two real-world case studies are employed to demonstrate the efficiency of this model. a comparison is ...

The dynamic single row facility layout problem (DSRFLP) is defined as the of arranging facilities along a straight line during multi-period planning horizon with objective minimizing sum material handling and rearrangement costs. cost products flow costs center-to-center distances between facilities. In this paper, we focus on metaheuristic algorithms for problem. main contributions paper are t...
