RSS modules kernelManaging Kernel Configurations in HP-UX 11i v2
White Paper Innovations such as Dynamic Kernel Tunables and Dynamically Loadable Kernel Modules allow critical maintenance tasks to be performed without sacrificing application availability. With each successive release of HP-UX, system administrators have... [02 May 2008]
Digital Signatures for Kernel Modules on x64-Based Systems Running Windows Vista
White Paper For Microsoft Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows family of operating systems, kernel-mode software must have a digital signature to load on x64-based computer systems. This paper describes how to manage the signing process for kernel... [27 Mar 2008]
Dynamic Tracing Support in the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine
White Paper Probes, in turn, are made available through special kernel modules, called providers. The Dynamic Tracing Framework- a part of the Solaris 10 Operating System - collects performance metrics by dynamically modifying the operating system kernel and... [06 Nov 2007]
A Kernel-Based Communication Fault Injector for Dependability Testing of Distributed Systems
White Paper ComFIRM explores the possibility to insert code directly inside the Linux kernel in the lowest level of the protocol stack through the load of modules. Software-implemented fault injection is a powerful strategy to test fault-tolerant protocols in... [01 Oct 2007]

Visual Basic Applications and Spreadsheet for Teaching Estimation of Nonparametric Density and Regression Functions
White Paper The author has built a useful didactic tool on Excel Visual Basic for teaching and practice of nonparametric kernel methods, being intended for students with some preliminary knowledge on this topic. This Visual Basic Application (VBA) is loaded... [06 Jul 2007]
ROCI: A Distributed Framework for Multi-Robot Perception and Control
White Paper Each node runs a kernel that mediates the interactions of the robots in a team. This kernel keeps an updated database of all nodes and the functionalities that they export. In ROCI, each robot is considered a node which contains several modules and... [05 Jul 2007]
XFI: Software Guards for System Address Spaces
White Paper The resulting modules function safely within both kernel and user-mode address spaces, with only modest enforcement overheads. XFI is a comprehensive protection system that offers both flexible access control and fundamental integrity guarantees... [09 Jun 2007]
Linux Security Modules: General Security Support for the Linux Kernel
White Paper The Linux Security Modules (LSM) project has developed a lightweight, general purpose, access control framework for the mainstream Linux kernel that enables many different access control models to be implemented as loadable kernel modules. [18 Apr 2007]
A Linux-Based Node OS for Network Processors
White Paper PromethOS provides mechanisms for the installation, configuration, operation and removal of untrusted code modules at run-time in kernel and in user space and on specialized engines of network processors. [18 Apr 2007]
Investigating Large Software System Evolution: The Linux Kernel
White Paper While there has been several studies focused on the similarity of code fragments or modules, few studies addressed the need to monitor the overall system evolution. Large multi-platform, multi-million lines of codes software systems evolve to cope... [11 Apr 2007]
Using Linux Kernel Modules for Operating Systems Class Projects
White Paper A new approach involving Linux kernel modules and source code reading is described as a means to supplement other programming projects. Instructors of operating systems classes have long desired to incorporate programming projects into the class... [03 Apr 2007]
Anomaly Detection Using Self/Nonself Discrimination for the Linux Kernel
White Paper The system is implemented as a couple of modules to the Linux kernel and analyses each system call of the monitored processes. This paper discusses how computers can protect themselves from different forms of attacks, mis-configurations, and... [03 Apr 2007]
Supporting Dynamic QoS in Linux
White Paper Both the VRE scheduler and the default rate controller are implemented as Linux loadable modules, which can be dynamically loaded into the kernel to replace the Linux scheduler or change the behavior of the scheduler. [03 Apr 2007]
Linux Security Modules Enhancements: Module Stacking Framework and TCP State Transition Hooks for State-Driven NIDS
White Paper Until the availability of Kernel 2.6 the Linux operating system lacked general support to integrate security mechanisms into the kernel. Although LSM provides a solid baseline for kernel security, it lacks important features. [03 Apr 2007]
