Analyzing stripped device-driver executables
- In TACAS
, 2008
"... Abstract. This paper sketches the design and implementation of Device-Driver Analyzer for x86 (DDA/x86), a prototype analysis tool for finding bugs in stripped Windows device-driver executables (i.e., when neither source code nor symbol-table/debugging information is available), and presents a case ..."

Live Migration of Virtual Machines
- In Proceedings of the 2nd ACM/USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI
, 2005
"... Migrating operating system instances across distinct physical hosts is a useful tool for administrators of data centers and clusters: It allows a clean separation between hardware and software, and facilitates fault management, load balancing, and low-level system maintenance. By carrying out the ma ..."

a practical tool even for servers running interactive loads. In this paper we consider the design options for migrating OSes running services with liveness constraints, focusing on data center and cluster environments. We introduce and analyze the concept of writable working set, and present
The SLAM project: debugging system software via static analysis
- SIGPLAN Not
"... Abstract. The goal of the SLAM project is to check whether or not a program obeys "API usage rules " that specif[y what it means to be a good client of an API. The SLAM toolkit statically analyzes a C program to determine whether or not it violates given usage rules. The toolkit has two un ..."

and automated deduction.}V ~ have successfully applied the SLAM toolkit to Windows XP device drivers, to both validate behavior and find defects in their usage of kernel APIs. Context. Today, many programmers are realizing the benefits of using languages with static type systems. By providing
The click modular router
, 2001
"... Click is a new software architecture for building flexible and configurable routers. A Click router is assembled from packet processing modules called elements. Individual elements implement simple router functions like packet classification, queueing, scheduling, and interfacing with network devic ..."

devices. A router configuration is a directed graph with elements at the vertices; packets flow along the edges of the graph. Configurations are written in a declarative language that supports user-defined abstractions. This language is both readable by humans and easily manipulated by tools. We present
The Unix Time-Sharing System
- Communications of the ACM
, 1974
"... Unix is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the larger Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 and the Interdata 8/32 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including i A hierarchical file system incorporating demountable vol ..."

This paper discusses the nature and implementation
Investigating the Energy Consumption of a Wireless Network Interface in an Ad Hoc Networking Environment
- In IEEE Infocom
