A Field Study of the Software Design Process for Large Systems

by Bill Curtis, Herb Krasner, Neil Iscoe - Communications of the ACM , 1988
"... The problems of designing large software systems were studied through interviewing personnel from 17 large projects. A layered behavioral model is used to analyze how three lgf these problems-the thin spread of application domain knowledge, fluctuating and conflicting requirements, and communication ..."

Wattch: A Framework for Architectural-Level Power Analysis and Optimizations

by David Brooks, Vivek Tiwari, Margaret Martonosi - In Proceedings of the 27th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 2000
"... Power dissipation and thermal issues are increasingly significant in modern processors. As a result, it is crucial that power/performance tradeoffs be made more visible to chip architects and even compiler writers, in addition to circuit designers. Most existing power analysis tools achieve high ..."

Foundations for the Study of Software Architecture

by Dewayne E. Perry, Alexander L. Wolf - ACM SIGSOFT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING NOTES , 1992
"... The purpose of this paper is to build the foundation for software architecture. We first develop an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. On the basis of this intuition, we present a model of software architec-ture that consists of th ..."

Principled design of the modern web architecture

by Roy T. Fielding, Richard N. Taylor - ACM Trans. Internet Techn
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The modern Web architecture emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of c ..."

Dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection, analysis, and signature generation of exploits on commodity software

by James Newsome, Dawn Song - In Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium , 2005
"... Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or even minutes, and cause millions of dollars of damage [32, 51]. To successfully combat these fast automatic Internet attacks, we nee ..."

, and hence works on commodity software. To demonstrate this idea, we have implemented TaintCheck, a mechanism that can perform dynamic taint analysis by performing binary rewriting at run time. We show that TaintCheck reliably detects most types of exploits. We found that TaintCheck produced no false

Dynamo: A Transparent Dynamic Optimization System

by Vasanth Bala, Evelyn Duesterwald , Sanjeev Banerjia - ACM SIGPLAN NOTICES , 2000
"... We describe the design and implementation of Dynamo, a software dynamic optimization system that is capable of transparently improving the performance of a native instruction stream as it executes on the processor. The input native instruction stream to Dynamo can be dynamically generated (by a JIT ..."

The program dependence graph and its use in optimization

by Jeanne Ferrante, Karl J. Ottenstein, Joe D. Warren - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1987
"... In this paper we present an intermediate program representation, called the program dependence graph (PDG), that makes explicit both the data and control dependence5 for each operation in a program. Data dependences have been used to represent only the relevant data flow relationships of a program. ..."
Abstract - Cited by 989 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
. Control dependence5 are introduced to analogously represent only the essential control flow relationships of a program. Control dependences are derived from the usual control flow graph. Many traditional optimizations operate more efficiently on the PDG. Since dependences in the PDG connect

Low-Power CMOS Digital Design

Constrained model predictive control: Stability and optimality

by D. Q. Mayne, J. B. Rawlings, C. V. Rao, P. O. M. Scokaert - AUTOMATICA , 2000
"... Model predictive control is a form of control in which the current control action is obtained by solving, at each sampling instant, a finite horizon open-loop optimal control problem, using the current state of the plant as the initial state; the optimization yields an optimal control sequence and t ..."
