Group Colloquium: Accounting for Privacy in the Cloud Computing Landscape

In this talk, we argue that overcoming the privacy challenges of cloud computing requires cooperation between the various actors in the cloud computing landscape, i.e., users, service providers, and infrastructure providers. All these different actors have clear incentives to cater for privacy but often lack the technical means to do so. We provide an overview…

Research Seminar: Using Bugs to Debug

Localising failure-inducing code is essential for software debugging. Manual fault localisation can be quite tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. Therefore, a huge body of research effort has been dedicated to automated fault localisation.

Testing the untestable

It’s the same for everything from smartphones to cars: every product has to be tested before it leaves the factory. But in complex systems, which integrate large amounts of hardware and software, the component interactions often become untestable. “For these systems, conventional software tests would take too long and cost too much,” says SnT researcher…

Best Paper Award for Research on Stroke Rehabilitation

A team of researchers at the University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) has developed a new system for supporting stroke survivors in their rehabilitation and recovery. Their framework uses low-cost depth sensors, such as Microsoft’s Kinect, to monitor and correct posture, providing patients with real-time feedback from the comfort of…

PhD Defence: Mobile Network Data Analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems

In this dissertation, we explore how the interplay between transportation and mobile networks manifests itself in mobile network billing and signaling data, and we show how to use this data to estimate different transportation supply and demand models.We present a simulation scenario of Luxembourg, which allows the simulation of vehicular Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connectivity with…

PhD Defence: Spectrum Monitoring Algorithms for Wireless and Satellite Communications

Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for more efficient utilisation of the radio frequency spectrum as new terrestrial and space services are deployed resulting in the congestion of the already crowded frequency bands. In this context, spectrum monitoring is a necessity. Spectrum monitoring techniques can be applied in a cognitive radio network, exploiting the spectrum…
