TL;DR: This work reviews typical algorithms and profiles their performance under various situations to study the influence of the number, the length, and the character distribution of the signatures on performance, and replaces their original algorithms with the most efficient ones in the profiling.

TL;DR: Five algorithms were designed for reducing the size of test suites where two metrics, test's function reach ability and function's test intensity, were defined and the most efficient algorithm could reduce the cost (time) of a test suite down to 1.10%.

TL;DR: The key objective here is to design the ASE system to extract the traces as complete and pure as possible, which gives IPS developers resources for further analysis, and demonstrates that 95% of extracted sessions have low variation, and the average completeness/purity is around 80%.

TL;DR: A new taint-style system called Embedded TaintTracker is proposed to eliminate the overhead in the emulator and dynamic instrumentation by compressing a checking mechanism into the operating system (OS) kernel and moving the instrumentation from runtime to compilation time.
