Automatic PoC generation for Android app vulnerability by Pang, Siew Boon

“…Using the filtered data, we can then visualize in the form of charts and carry out statistical analysis to determine trends and commonly found vulnerabilities amongst the list of APKs scanned. Lastly, we can consider both the results obtained by the scanning tools as well as their scanning performances to compare all 3 tools and determine the most efficient tool to be used for scanning of mobile application vulnerabilities. …”

Achieving faster handovers in mobile WiMAX networks by Lu, Qi, Ma, Maode

“…In this paper, an improved handover scheme is proposed to reduce the latency introduced in the handover process by shortening the scanning and enhancing the network re-entry. The proposed scanning strategy reduces the latency by reducing the number of neighbor BSs to be scanned through estimating the rough location of the MS. …”
