Awan, M.A. (author), Souto, P. (author), Bletsas, K. (author), Akesson, B. (author), Tovar, E. (author)In multicore architectures, there is potential for contention between cores when accessing shared resources, such as system memory. Such contention scenarios are challenging to accurately analyse, from a worst-case timing perspective. One way of making memory contention in multicores more amenable to timing analysis is the use of memory...conference paper 2018

Wijn, R. (author), van der Kleij, R. (author), Kallen, V.L. (author), Stekkinger, M. (author), de Vries, P. (author)Detecting deviant behaviours that precede and are related to crimes can help prevent these crimes. Research suggests that the psychological mindset of wrongdoers may differ from others, such that they are more anxious, self-focussed, and vigilant. As a result, their responses to environmental cues, specifically those that signal risk of exposure...article 2017
