Upgrading a power grid to a smart grid is a challenging task. For example, since power grids
were originally developed to support unidirectional communications, the migration process …

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is widely used in content-aware network applications such as
network intrusion detection systems, traffic billing, load balancing, and government …

Software Defined Networks (SDNs) provides a separation between the control plane and the
forwarding plane of networks. The software implementation of the control plane and the built …

Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile software development strategy that addresses
both design and testing. This paper describes a controlled experiment that examines the …

Deep packet inspection (DPI) helps Internet service providers in efforts to profile networked
applications. By relying on DPI systems, Internet service providers may apply different …

A growing number of applications rely on fast pattern matching to scan data in real-time for
security and analytics purposes. The RegX accelerator in the IBM Power Edge of Network …

Regular Expression (RegEx) matching, as a core operation in many network and security
applications, is typically performed on Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) to process …

Hardware acceleration of regular expression matching is key to meeting the throughput
requirements of state-of-the-art network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) dictated by fast …

In this article, we propose a privacy-preserving medical treatment system using
nondeterministic finite automata (NFA), hereafter referred to as P-Med, designed for remote …

Efficient techniques for pattern matching are essential in a number of networked systems
and services, such as intrusion detection systems, application identification and …
