Abstract:
A method and system determines capacity needs of components in a distributed computer system. In the method and system, a pair-wise invariant network is determined from collected flow intensity measurements. The network includes at least two separate and unconnected pair-wise invariant subnetworks, each of the subnetworks including two of the flow intensity measurements connected by a pairwise invariant, each of the pair-wise invariants characterizing a constant relationship between their two connected flow intensity measurements. At least one overlay invariant is determined from the pair-wise invariant network and from the collected flow intensity measurements using a minimal redundancy least regression process. The capacity needs of the components are determined using the pair-wise and overlay invariants.
Abstract:
A system and method for analyzing (104) a computer program includes performing a static analysis on a program to determine property correctness. Test cases are generated (108) and conducted to provide test output data. Hypotheses (113) about aspects of execution of the program are produced to classify paths for test cases to determine whether the test cases have been encountered or otherwise. In accordance with the hypothesis, new test cases are generated (120) to cause the program to exercise behavior which is outside of the encountered test cases.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for network management, including adaptively installing one or more monitoring rules in one or more network devices on a network using an intelligent network middleware, detecting application traffic on the network transparently using an application demand monitor, and predicting future network demands of the network by analyzing historical and current demands. The one or more monitoring rules are updated once counters are collected; and network paths are determined and optimized to meet network demands and maximize utilization and application performance with minimal congestion on the network.

Abstract:
A system and method for optimizing system performance includes applying (160) sampling based optimization to identify optimal configurations of a computing system by selecting (162) a number of configuration samples and evaluating (166) system performance based on the samples. Based on feedback of evaluated samples, a location of an optimal configuration is inferred (170). Additional samples are generated (176) towards the location of the inferred optimal configuration to further optimize a system configuration.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for detection and prevention of Return-Oriented-Programming (ROP) attacks in one or more applications, including an attack detection device and a stack inspection device for performing stack inspection to detect ROP gadgets in a stack. The stack inspection includes stack walking from a stack frame at a top of the stack toward a bottom of the stack to detect one or more failure conditions, determining whether a valid stack frame and return code address is present; and determining a failure condition type if no valid stack frame and return code is present, with Type III failure conditions indicating an ROP attack. The ROP attack is contained using a containment device, and the ROP gadgets detected in the stack during the ROP attack are analyzed using an attack analysis device.
