The RvABS-project is funded in 2012 as a bilateral Norwegian-German cooperation within the PPP-programme for collaborative research support scheme (``Projektbezogener Personenaustausch''). The cooperation is funded by the
- Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), and the
- Norges Forskningsrådet (NFR)
You can find the sample project used in the ISOLA paper in SVN at http://svn.foldr.org/rCOS/ARV/model/CoCoME/. In addition, we have developed the necessary infrastructure to add the monitor-deltas to an ABS project based on an in-memory representation of the monitor. This requires two parts: first, an AspectJ-based Java project which augments the ABS frontend with an API to specify and to programmatically modify a model. The actual monitors for the CoCoME example are then specified and compiled in yet another project.
The compiled monitor can then be passed to the ABS compiler-frontend to generate the monitors on the fly, e.g. through
java -cp absfrontend.jar abs.backend.java.JavaBackend -v
-weave=CoCoMeMonBaseProtocol CoCoME.abs Datatypes.abs
(The original ABS frontend is necessary, either from SVN [for HATS project members], or from the HATS website.)
We have also suggested to use similar code-manipulation techniques in our paper How useful are existing monitoring languages for securing Android apps?
(to be presented at ATPS 2013), where we discuss specification languages for security monitors.
