Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is a powerful statistical framework for estimating maximum
values of random variables and has recently been applied for deriving probabilistic bounds …

The current practice to design software for real-time systems is tedious. There is almost no
tool support that assists the designer in automatically deriving safe bounds of the worst-case …

Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design.
Processor description languages and their associated specification, exploration and rapid …

vi multiple system layers in an integrated fashion for reliability optimization under user-
provided tolerable performance overhead constraints. To enable this, this work addresses …

Drive-by download attacks attempt to compromise a victim's computer through browser
vulnerabilities. Often they are launched from Malware Distribution Networks (MDNs) …

We propose multiple reliability-driven software transformations targeting unreliable
hardware. These transformations reduce the executions of critical instructions and …

Recent design methodologies and tools aim at enhancing the design productivity by
providing a software development platform before defining the final MPSoC architecture …

Due to the architectural design, process variations and aging, individual cores in many-core
systems exhibit heterogeneous performance. In many-core systems, a commonly adopted …

To enable reliable embedded systems, it is imperative to leverage the compiler and system
software for joint optimization of functional correctness (ie, vulnerability indexes) and timing …
