An apparatus and method of diagnosing whether a computer program executed in a computer system is a malicious program and more particularly, an apparatus and method of diagnosing whether a computer program is a malicious program using a behavior of a computer program, and an apparatus and method of generating malicious code diagnostic data is provided. The apparatus for diagnosing a malicious code may include a behavior vector generation unit which generates a first behavior vector based on a behavior signature extracted from a diagnostic target program; a diagnostic data storage unit which stores a plurality of second behavior vectors for a plurality of sample programs predetermined to be malicious or normal; and a code diagnostic unit which diagnoses whether the diagnostic target program is a malicious code by comparing the first behavior vector with the plurality of second behavior vectors.

A dynamically reconfigurable battery framework for management of a large-scale battery system systems is provided. The framework monitors, reconfigures, and controls large-scale battery systems online. The framework is built upon a topology-based bypassing mechanism that provides a set of rules for changing the battery-pack configuration, and a semantic bypassing mechanism by which the battery-cell connectivity is reconfigured to recover from a battery-cell failure. More specifically, the semantic bypassing mechanism implements a constant-voltage-keeping policy and a dynamic-voltage-allowing policy. The former policy is effective in preventing unavoidable voltage drops during the battery lifetime, while the latter policy is effective in supplying different amounts of power to meet a wide-range of application requirements.

A dynamically reconfigurable framework is provided for a large-scale battery system. The framework is comprised of a plurality of battery circuits arranged adjacent to each other to form a battery-cell array that is coupled to an application load. A given battery circuit includes: a battery cell with an input terminal and an output terminal; a first switch connected between the load and an input terminal of the battery cell; a second switch is connected between an input terminal of the battery cell and an output terminal of a battery cell in an immediately adjacent battery circuit; and a third switch connected between the output terminal of the battery cell and the output terminal of the battery cell in the adjacent battery circuit. The battery-cell array also includes a local controller that selectively controls the switches in the plurality of battery circuits.

A system is presented for detecting malware applications residing on a mobile device powered by a battery. The system includes a power monitoring module, a data analysis module and a data store that stores a plurality of known power signatures signifying a power consumption anomaly. The power monitoring module measures power drawn from the battery and the data analysis module extracts a power history signature from the power measures. The data analysis module then compares the power history signature with the plurality of known power signatures and initiates a protective operation if the power history signature is closely correlated to one or more of the known power signatures.

An apparatus and method of diagnosing whether a program executed in a computer system is malware and repairing the computer system infected by malware. The apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives a first behavior vector for the malware from a malware control server; a determination unit which determines whether a diagnostic target program corresponds to malware based on the received first behavior vector and a second behavior vector for the diagnostic target program; and a repair unit which repairs the computer system based on a result of the determination. A behavior of a computer program executed in the computer system may be modeled in real time.

Effective scheduling of battery charge and discharge activities, by making the most of battery characteristics, can extend the battery pack's operation-time and lifetime. A system and method for scheduling battery activities is disclosed. This framework dynamically adapts battery activities to load demands and to the condition of individual battery cells, thereby extending the battery pack's operation-time and making them robust to anomalous voltage imbalances. The scheduling framework includes two components. An adaptive filter estimates the upcoming load demand. Based on the estimated load demand, a scheduler can determine the number of parallel-connected battery cells to be discharged. The scheduler also effectively partitions the battery cells in a pack, allowing the battery cells to be simultaneously charged and discharged in coordination with a reconfigurable battery circuit.

WAN link preferences for subflows of an application flow are determined. The characteristics of WAN links operable to transmit the subflows are also determined. The WAN link preferences are compared to the WAN link characteristics, and the subflows are assigned to the WAN links based on the comparison.
