Verifiable COTS-based cyber-physical systems
… stability. Most commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computing systems, however, do not provide such real-time guarantees. Relying on custom-made components in order to guarantee timeliness properties, however, leads to systems with an exorbitant cost. For affordability, we must make use of …

Enhancement of COTS GIS Web Publishing Software
In the modern geographic information systems, COTS software has been playing a major role. Customizing COTS software is inevitable because large organizations' needs usually exceed COTS built-in functions. However, this is often a challenge to COTS users, since the source code of COTS is rarely …

Transforming leaky COTS binaries into data-oblivious binaries
… but no work exists today to transform ""unsafe"" COTS binaries into data-oblivious binaries. Achieving data-oblivious COTS binaries is challenging due to their complex nature and lack of clean abstractions. However, such a feat is necessary because many COTS binaries are already deployed in …

Learning to deal with COTS (commercial off the shelf)
… based development technologies, dependence of COTS in software development has increased considerably. Use of COTS is considered economical and practical when it comes to integration of various software components. However COTS are trapped with some pitfalls. COTS provided are not usually …

COTS GIS Integration and its Soap-Based Web Services
In the modern geographic information systems, COTS software has been playing a major role. However, deploying heterogeneous GIS software has the tendency to form fragmented data sets and to cause inconsistency. To accomplish data consolidation, we must achieve interoperability between different GIS …

A requirements engineering method for COTS-based systems development
… and selection of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software. PORE is designed in part from conclusions drawn from real-world case studies of requirements acquisition for complex software product selection. Such studies are reported in this thesis. The PORE method is part goal-driven and part …

Predictable and monitored execution for COTS-based real-time embedded systems
… built using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components in an attempt to increase performance and reduce cost and time to market. Integrated real-time systems such as those employed in the avionic, medical and automotive domain are often mixed-criticality systems: they implement …

Web-enabled COTS-supported alternative to Interactive Electronic Technical Manual Database (IETMDB) specification
… of the IETM database specification. We propose a COTS-supported IETM display system architecture based on the developed IETM Object Model. We also demonstrate the applicability and merit of the approach by implementing a prototype Web-based IETM display system.

Next-generation safety-critical systems using COTS based homogeneous multi-core processors and heterogeneous MPSoCS
… solutions for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) homogeneous multicore architectures and heterogeneous MPSoCs such that the WCET of the tasks running in these environments can be predictable. Moreover, it presents techniques for inter-core communication, reliability, and streaming of …

Auroral arc detection using a COTS spectral photometer for the Auroral Emission Radio Explorer (AERO) CubeSat Mission
Auroral phenomena are dynamic in nature: observed events have rich structures that are both spatially and temporally complex, with scientifically interesting features. While optical auroral observations using CCDs or all-sky cameras are common, the aurora also have interesting emission properties …

The Outcomes Of New Teachers Being Reflective
… found between teachers’ conceptions of teaching (COTs) and their practical approaches to teaching, the COTs held by neophytes are of consequence, as they are usually indicative of the quality of their teaching practices. The topic of the quality of teaching in universities is presently under …
