Adjusting a Program Transformation for Legality

Program transformations are one of the most valuable compiler techniques to improve parallelism or data locality. However, restructuring compilers have a hard time coping with data dependences. A typical solution is to focus on program parts where the dependences are simple enough to enable any transformation. For more complex problems is only addressed the question of checking whether a transf...

Advertising Legality Recognition

As online marketing and advertising keep growing on the Internet, a large amount of advertisements are presented to consumers. How consumers, advertisers and the authorities identify false and overstated advertisements becomes a critical issue. In this paper, we address this problem, and propose various classification models to detect illegal advertisements. Illegal advertisement lists announce...

In this paper, we present a lightweight and stateless protection mechanism that can be added to an existing application without requiring changes to the application’s code. The key functionality of the approach, which is based on the double-submit technique, is purely implemented on the client-sid...
