1. Advancing Automation in Digital Forensic Investigations
Abstract : Digital Forensics is used to aid traditional preventive security mechanisms when they fail to curtail sophisticated and stealthy cybercrime events. The Digital Forensic Investigation process is largely manual in nature, or at best quasi-automated, requiring a highly skilled labour force and involving a sizeable time investment. READ MORE

2. Accelerating Distributed Storage in Heterogeneous Settings
Abstract : Heterogeneity in cloud environments is a fact of life—from workload skews and network path changes, to the diversity of server hardware components, these are all factors that impact the performance of distributed storage. In this dissertation, we identify that heterogeneity can in fact be one of the primary causes of service degradation for storage systems. READ MORE

3. Vulnerability Analysis for Critical Infrastructures
Abstract : The rapid advances in information and communication technology enable a shift from diverse systems empowered mainly by either hardware or software to cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that are driving Critical infrastructures (CIs), such as energy and manufacturing systems. However, alongside the expected enhancements in efficiency and reliability, the induced connectivity exposes these CIs to cyberattacks exemplified by Stuxnet and WannaCry ransomware cyber incidents.

4. Compile-time Safety and Runtime Performance in Programming Frameworks for Distributed Systems
Abstract : Distributed Systems, that is systems that must tolerate partial failures while exploiting parallelism, are a fundamental part of the software landscape today. Yet, their development and design still pose many challenges to developers when it comes to reliability and performance, and these challenges often have a negative impact on developer productivity.

5. Timing Analysis of Distributed Embedded Systems with Stochastic Workload and Realiability Constraints
Abstract : Today's distributed embedded systems are exposed to large variations in workload due to complex software applications and sophisticated hardware platforms. Examples of such systems are automotive and avionics applications.The tasks running on computational units have variable execution times. READ MORE
