Title: Trajectory Analytics
Abstract: Recent advances in location tracking technologies has led to an explosion in the availability of trajectory data. However, the way trajectories are collected today has undergone a dramatic shift, which has rendered existing techniques ineffective. Instead of careful monitoring through accurate GPS devices, majority of the trajectory data today is generated as a by-product of another service. Examples of such services include call detail records from telecom operators, social network check-ins, credit card transactions, geo-tagged photo albums, and smart phone messaging apps. Consequently, there is no quality control and these datasets are noisy, inconsistently sampled, multi-modal, and highly dynamic. Due to this phenomenon, we reside in a data-rich but informationally poor world. In this talk, we will discuss the research efforts in my group that seeks to bridge this gap.

Title : Automatic Detection of Side Channel Vulnerabilities in System Software
Abstract: The discovery of side-channel vulnerabilities in system software and their exploitation is a laborious manual task. As a
result side-channel attacks are difficult to perform and often reported as significant achievements. The apparent rarity and
difficulty of side-channel attacks combined with reservations that software developers have towards treating side-channel
vulnerabilities as bugs - since vulnerabilities do not result in incorrect behavior - has an undesirable result of systems
software shipping with many side-channel vulnerabilities.
In this talk we present our ongoing work and hurdles in developing a framework to automatically locate
side-channel vulnerabilities in system software.
