'''ABSTRACT:'''
 
Unikernels are getting known as single address space machine images, created using library operating systems. In practice they are used to wrap a single service inside a virtual machine without the significant overhead of a general purpose operating system such as Linux or Windows. IncludeOS is a recent addition to the unikernel family developed at HiOA and written from scratch in C++ . While the most well known unikernel projects target Xen paravirtualization, IncludeOS is developed for x86 hardware virtualization. In this talk we give an overview of the IncludeOS architecture compared with other unikernel projects, with an emphasis on identifying potential security benefits.
 
 
 
'''SPEAKER BIO:'''
 
Alfred Bratterud has a Master's degree in mathematical logic from the Informatics Department at the University of Oslo. Since 2011 he has been employed as assistant professor at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied science, the largest institution for engineering education in Norway, where he teaches C++. Currently, Alfred is doing a PhD project in the area of cloud computing under the working title "Resource efficient Cloud Computing using minimal virtual machines", which has led to the creation of IncludeOS. Alfred has recently received a grant from the Norwegian research council to further develop IncludeOS, and his main focus is currently to lead this work.

  • TITLE:  Privacy for mobile apps: Technical, regulatory and human challenges
    SPEAKER:  Nurul Momen  (Karlstad University)
    ABSTRACT: What is the most intimate device that you possess? If the answer is your mobile phone, you'd probably be interested in finding out how apps behave. In one end, we have a powerful device capable of collecting, monitoring, processing, transmitting data and in other end, this device is connected to hundreds of services through apps. Undeniably, users are being subjected to privacy exploitation due to the obvious reason - surveillance capitalism. We intend to turn the table around by simply asking - how do the apps behave?
