Scalable and flexible communication networks increasingly conduct the packet processing
for Network Functions (NFs) in General Purpose Computing (GPC) platforms. The …

Virtualization poses new challenges to I/O performance. The single-root I/O virtualization
(SR-IOV) standard allows an I/O device to be shared by multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) …

Direct device assignment enhances the performance of guest virtual machines by allowing
them to communicate with I/O devices without host involvement. But even with device …

Virtualization technology enables server consolidation and has given an impetus to low-cost
green data centers. However, current hypervisors do not provide adequate support for real …

This paper studies false data injection attacks against automatic generation control (AGC), a
fundamental control system used in all power grids to maintain the grid frequency at a …

As virtualization trend is moving towards" client virtualization", wireless virtualization remains
to be one of the technology gaps that haven't been addressed satisfactorily. Today's …

Task scheduling is a challenging and important issue, which considering increases in data
sizes and large volumes of data, has turned into an NP-hard problem. This has attracted the …

Middleboxes are both crucial to today's networks and ubiquitous, but embed knowledge of
today's protocols and applications to the detriment of those of tomorrow, making the network …

The traditional" trap and emulate" I/O paravirtualization model conveniently allows for I/O
interposition, yet it inherently incurs costly guest-host context switches. The newer" sidecore" …
