• A non-inclusive memory permissions architecture for protection against cross-layer attacks 

      Elwell, Jesse; Riley, Ryan; Abu-Ghazaleh, Nael; Ponomarev, Dmitry ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      Protecting modern computer systems and complex software stacks against the growing range of possible attacks is becoming increasingly difficult. The architecture of modern commodity systems allows attackers to subvert ...
    • An Empirical Study for PCA- and LDA-Based Feature Reduction for Gas Identification 

      Akbar, Muhammad Ali; Ali, Amine Ait Si; Amira, Abbes; Bensaali, Faycal; Benammar, Mohieddine; ... more authors ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Article)
      Increasing the number of sensors in a gas identification system generally improves its performance as this will add extra features for analysis. However, this affects the computational complexity, especially if the ...
    • FPGA Implementation of Orthogonal Matching Pursuit for Compressive Sensing Reconstruction 

      Rabah H.; Amira A.; Mohanty B.K.; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Meher P.K. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)
      In this paper, we present a novel architecture based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for the reconstruction of compressively sensed signal using the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. We have analyzed ...
    • Hardware PCA for gas identification systems using high level synthesis on the Zynq SoC 

      Ali, Amine Ait Si; Amira, Abbes; Bensaali, Faycal; Benammar, Mohieddine ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      One of the significant stages in a gas identification system is dimensionality reduction to speed up the processing part. This is even more important when the system is implemented on a hardware platform where the resources ...
    • Heterogeneous Implementation of ECG Encryption and Identification on the Zynq SoC 

      Ali, Amine Ait Si; Zhai, Xiaojun; Amira, Abbes; Bensaali, Faycal; Ramzan, Naeem ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents an innovative and safe connected health solution for human identification. The system consists of the encryption and decryption of ECG signals using the advanced encryption standard (AES) as well as the ...
    • Monitoring DVT cuffs for long-term operation: A fuzzy approach 

      Qidwai, Uvais; Kamran, Saadat; Al-Sulaiti, Sara; Ahmed, Ghadeer; Hegazy, Asmaa ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      Stroke patients, as well as all those patients who are bed-bound for a long period of time are highly susceptible to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as secondary complexity. DVT poses more dangers of a loose blood clot obstructing ...
    • Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems 

      Torras N.; Zinoviev K.E.; Camargo C.J.; Campo E.M.; Campanella H.; ... more authors (2013 , Conference Paper)
      Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
    • PCA IP-core for gas applications on the heterogenous zynq platform 

      Ali, Amine Ait Si; Amira, Abbes; Bensaali, Faycal; Benammar, Mohieddine (2013 , Conference Paper)
      Principal component analysis (PCA) is a commonly used technique for data reduction in general as well as for dimensionality reduction in gas identification systems when a sensor array is being used. This paper presents the ...
