FYI

I am with the Cloud Computing Student Group here on campus. We help people learn cloud computing through hands-on building. Would you share this with your students? You teach ML in Computing Systems, and your students may be interested in this topic as well. Every student gets $100 in AWS credit through the University to explore AWS. We want students to realize this and develop useful programming and architecture skills. We have learning sessions every Monday from 4:30 - 5:30 pm in Vincent 311 that are geared toward our current project. Our current project is building an Alexa Skills for the Alexa Student Competition https://awseducate.devpost.com. We also have building sessions to come in and work on whatever you want with assistance or collaboration. This session is on Wednesdays from 5:00 - 6:00 pm in Vincent 311. Our website is https://www.umncloud.com, and our email is thecloud@umn.edu. Cody

A Machine Learning Approach to Live Migration Modeling

Dynamic management of resources in data centers improves data center utilization in terms of energy consumption and device utilization. Virtual machines are among techniques to achieve this goal. To enable the VM to adapt to dynamic fluctuations of workloads, Live Migrated virtual machines are introduced, which stands for moving a VM from one physical host to another while the VM keeps running. Live migration enables load balancing, fault tolerance, ease maintenance, etc. However, live migration is costly in terms of data traffic. Having an understanding of performance metrics of different live migration algorithms is important so that one can rely on an efficient algrothm to migrate a running VM is important. Therefore, this work uses a Machine Learning (ML) approach to predict key metrics of different live migration algorithms, and then find the best suitable choice for live migration. Indeed, given resource usage as well as the characteristics of VM work load, this paper predict...

StormDroid: A Streaminglized Machine Learning-Based System for Detecting Android Malware

Introduction: The paper approaches the problem of Malware Detection using machine learning approach. In this paper, the authors propose considering new type of features along with two traditionally used set of features for developing techniques for malware detection. Along with this proposal, the paper makes other contributions as well. The authors provide a new framework which is able to process information from large data sets as streams, and efficiently perform malware detection. Motivation: Android is an open platform for development. It has certainly made easy for everyone to develop and publish apps.  The number of apps published on Google store is in millions. However, it has also made easier for hackers to reach out to a larger population for malicious attacks. Additionally, with surge in the number of attacks on devices, more data is available for analysis which can be used by the machine learning models to identify malicious apps. This is motivation to use machine ...

CrystalBall: Statically Analyzing Runtime Behavior via Deep Sequence Learning

Image
Author:  Stephen Zekany, Daniel Rings, Nathan Harada, Michael A. Laurenzano, Lingjia Tang, Jason Mars Intro: Understanding the runtime behavior of the software is critical in many aspects of program development. A conventional approach to this problem is using dynamic profiling, meaning we have to run the program multiple times with environments that representative enough for the actual working situation. Besides that, a dynamic profiling approach has other weakness such as cannot profiling a subset of functions or paths very economically and requires re-profiling each time any changes is applied to the code. This paper presents a statically profiling method, harnessing the ability of RNN to discover the hidden information of hot path in the code. Also, since the training process uses intermediate representation as input, the result will have better generalization power. Methodology: The dataset is in the form of a basic block feature; each sequence of basic blocks repr...
