COTS products characterization [PDF]

Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering, 2002
A way to learn about Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products is to define a set of characteristics or attributes and then to collect information about these attributes. In an industrial context, the attributes used to select COTS clearly depend on project specific goals.

Bias associated with the detectability of the coral-eating pest crown-of-thorns seastar and implications for reef management [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Outbreaks of the predator crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS) Acanthaster planci cause widespread coral mortality across the Indo-Pacific. Like many marine invertebrates, COTS is a nocturnal species whose cryptic behaviour during the day can affect its ...

Two Hidden mtDNA-Clades of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Recurring outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) severely damage healthy corals, especially in the Western Pacific Ocean. To obtain a better understanding of population genetics of COTS and historical colonization across the Pacific Ocean, complete

RetroWrite: Statically Instrumenting COTS Binaries for Fuzzing and Sanitization

IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, 2020
Analyzing the security of closed source binaries is currently impractical for end-users, or even developers who rely on third-party libraries. Such analysis relies on automatic vulnerability discovery techniques, most notably fuzzing with sanitizers ...

Facial Soft Biometrics for Recognition in the Wild: Recent Works, Annotation, and COTS Evaluation [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2018
The role of soft biometrics to enhance person recognition systems in unconstrained scenarios has not been extensively studied. Here, we explore the utility of the following modalities: gender, ethnicity, age, glasses, beard, and moustache.

A ubiquitous subcuticular bacterial symbiont of a coral predator, the crown-of-thorns starfish, in the Indo-Pacific

Microbiome, 2020
Background Population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci sensu lato; COTS), a primary predator of reef-building corals in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, are a major threat to coral reefs.
