Currently, the students and researchers participating in COMPASSO are focused on developing research in the following areas:

• • Capacity and performance evaluation of IaaS cloud computing architectures;

  • New mechanisms for security management and protection of virtualized assets;

  • New mechanisms and techniques for exploiting microarchitecture vulnerabilities;

  • New mechanisms and techniques for exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems and virtualized environments;

  • Use of WNNs to support drift prediction and data prefetching;

  • Scalable distribution of video on demand, videocast, and live video on mobile networks;

  • New applications for interest-centric mobile networks;

  • Timing mechanisms for computing systems based on manycores, frequency scheduling, and virtualization;

  • New mechanism for information security management in local area networks.
