VIoLET: A Large-scale Virtual Environment for Internet of Things
IoT deployments have been growing manifold, encompassing sensors, networks, edge, fog and cloud resources. Despite the intense interest from researchers and practitioners, most do not have access to large-scale IoT testbeds for validation. Simulation...
MDP environments for the OpenAI Gym
The OpenAI Gym provides researchers and enthusiasts with simple to use environments for reinforcement learning. Even the simplest environment have a level of complexity that can obfuscate the inner workings of RL approaches and make debugging difficu...
Function-Based Access Control (FBAC): From Access Control Matrix to Access Control Tensor
Security researchers have stated that the core concept behind current implementations of access control predates the Internet. These assertions are made to pinpoint that there is a foundational gap in this field, and one should consider revisiting th...
Accessible or Not? An Empirical Investigation of Android App Accessibility
Mobile apps provide new opportunities to people with disabilities to act independently in the world. Motivated by this trend, researchers have conducted empirical studies by using the inaccessibility issue rate of each page (i.e., screen level) to re...
Profit Maximization In Arbitrage Loops
Cyclic arbitrage chances exist abundantly among decentralized exchanges (DEXs), like Uniswap V2. For an arbitrage cycle (loop), researchers or practitioners usually choose a specific token, such as Ether as input, and optimize their input amount to g...
