Speaker: Kanad Basu Date and Time: Tuesday, June 7, 2:00 pm Location: Zoom https://uci.zoom.us/j/97807443602 Abstract: Anti-virus software (AVS) tools are used to detect Malware in a system. However, software-based AVS are vulnerable to attacks. A malicious entity can exploit these vulnerabilities to subvert the AVS. Recently, hardware components such as Hardware Performance Counters (HPC) have been used for Malware detection, in the form […]
Speaker: Borzoo Bonakdarpour Date and Time: Monday, May 23, 2022 at 2:00 pm Location: DBH 3011 Abstract: We consider the problem of detecting violations of specification In the signal temporal logic over distributed continuous-time and continuous-valued signals in cyber-physical systems (CPS). We assume a partially synchronous setting, where a clock synchronization algorithm guarantees a bound on clock drifts […]
Speaker: Younghyun Kim Date and Time: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. Location: Zoom https://uci.zoom.us/j/98632011722 Abstract: Approximate computing is a new paradigm to accomplish energy-efficient computing in this twilight of Moore’s law by relaxing the exactness requirement of computation results for intrinsically error-resilient applications, such as deep learning and signal processing, and producing results that are “just […]
Name: Tianhao Wang Date and Time: Thursday, February 27, 2020 Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract: When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) relieves users' privacy concerns, as it adds noise to users' private information. The LDP technique has been deployed by Google, Apple, and Microsoft for data collection and monitoring. In this talk, I will share […]
Name: Hayk Shoukourian Date and Time: Friday, November 15, 2019 Location: Donald Bren Hall 3011 Abstract: The increasing demand for online resources has led to an immense energy burden on contemporary High Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud data centers. Even though each new generation of HPC systems delivers a higher power efficiency, the growth in system […]
Name: Stanley Bak Date and Time: Tuesday, July 9, 2019 Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract: Cyber-physical systems combine complex physics with complex software. Although these systems offer significant potential in fields such as smart grid design, autonomous robotics and medical systems, verification of CPS designs remains challenging. Model-based design permits simulations to be used to explore […]
Name: Jyotirmoy Vinay Deshmukh Date and Time: Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 4011 Abstract: With the increasing popularity of deep learning, there have been several efforts to use neural network based controllers in cyber-physical system applications. However, neural networks are equally well-known for their lack of interpretability, explainability and verifiability. […]
Name: Liron David Date and Time: Tuesday, March 12 at 10:00 a.m. Location: Engineering Hall 5204 Abstract: Rank estimation is an important tool for a side-channel evaluations laboratories. It allows estimating the remaining security after an attack has been performed, quantified as the time complexity and the memory consumption required to brute force the key […]
Name: Masahiro Fujita Date and Time: Thursday, January 14 at 3:00 p.m. Location:Engineering Hall 3206 Abstract: In this talk first we review the partial logic synthesis problem and its associated algorithm based on QBF (Quantified Boolean Formula) formulation. Partial logic synthesis is to generate appropriate sub-circuits for the missing portions in the target design so that the entire […]
Name: Tulika Mitra Date and Time: Monday, November 5 at 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 3011 Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT), an ever-growing network of billions of devices embedded within physical objects, is revolutionizing our daily life. The IoT devices in the edge are primarily responsible only for collecting and communicating the data […]
