Each program will make a defind set of syscalls to achieve its
objective. Now idea is to watch syscalls that a program is supposed to
make during its run time. A database which describes the syscalls that a
program can make is called behavior model of the program. Lets assume we
can generate a behavior model which perfectly describes an application.
Now any deviation from behavior model of program essentially indicates
an intrusion at real time. Thus a corrective action can be taken.

Nothing new under the sun:

And even published research:

There are conspicuous citations in the two papers above. As for the mimicry
attacks against this concept, an URL has already been posted
