Biological and Mathematical Basis of Interaction Computing (BIOMICS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Interaction Computing (IC) takes inspiration from cellular processes rather than from evolution. BIOMICS aims to leverage existing cell metabolic and regulatory mechanisms as the ontogenetic basis of a model for IC. However, because the knowledge to properly mimic, exploit and adapt these systems to computer science is lacking, BIOMICS will also advance the state of the art in the mathematics of b ...

Server-driven Outbound Web-application Sandboxing (WEBSAND)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Since its birth in 1990, the Web has evolved from a simple, stateless delivery mechanism for static hypertext documents to a fully-edged run-time environment for distributed, multi-party applications. Security becomes increasingly important in this context, but is typically only an afterthought in this process. The next wave, the Future Internet, will continue to rely on the same web application t ...
