Title
Signal Processing for Trace-based Anomaly Detection in Embedded Software
Supervisor
Sebastian Fischmeister
Abstract
Given a set of historic good traces, trace-based anomaly detection deals with the problem of determining whether or not a specific trace represents a normal execution scenario. Most current approaches mainly focus on application areas outside of the embedded systems domain and thus do not take advantage of the intrinsic properties of this domain.
