RT-SHCUA: Real-Time Self-Hosted Computer-Use Agent for UAV Control
Di Lu, Bo Zhang, Xiyuan Li +5
Natural-language control offers a promising interface for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but directly applying self-hosted computer-use agents (SHCUAs) to UAV control introduces…
EBCC: Enclave-Backed Confidential Containers via OCI-Compatible Runtime Integration
Di Lu, Qingwen Zhang, Yujia Liu +4
Container runtimes provide a stable operational interface for deploying, monitoring, and controlling modern workloads, while trusted execution environments (TEEs) provide hardware-…
Constraining Host-Level Abuse in Self-Hosted Computer-Use Agents via TEE-Backed Isolation
Di Lu, Bo Zhang, Xiyuan Li +5
Self-hosted computer-use agents (SHCUAs), such as OpenClaw, combine natural-language interaction with direct access to host-side resources, including browsers, files, scripts, syst…
When Convenience Becomes Risk: A Semantic View of Under-Specification in Host-Acting Agents
Di Lu, Yongzhi Liao, Xutong Mu +5
Host-acting agents promise a convenient interaction model in which users specify goals and the system determines how to realize them. We argue that this convenience introduces a di…
Arca: A Lightweight Confidential Container Architecture for Cloud-Native Environments
Di Lu, Mengna Sun, Qingwen Zhang +5
Confidential containers protect cloud-native workloads using trusted execution environments (TEEs). However, existing Container-in-TEE designs (e.g., Confidential Containers (CoCo)…
HiCoCS: High Concurrency Cross-Sharding on Permissioned Blockchains
Lingxiao Yang, Xuewen Dong, Zhiguo Wan +3
As the foundation of the Web3 trust system, blockchain technology faces increasing demands for scalability. Sharding emerges as a promising solution, but it struggles to handle hig…
