Value centric approach to target system modularization using multi-attribute tradespace exploration and network measures of component modularity
Deciding where to modularize a system can have long-term impact on that systems value over its entire lifecycle. The modularity of a system can impact the systems flexibility, evolvability, scalability, mass, costs, and development schedule. Making these modularization decisions is a key job of the …

An Investigation into the Cost of Unit Testing on an Embedded System
… for life-critical and mission-critical embedded systems. And software testing is a key activity to ensure the quality of embedded software. Both system testing and unit testing are vital to test embedded software. Unit testing is probably more important to ensure there are no latent faults. …

Improving search times when resolving external symbols in the Timeliner System
The Timeliner System, developed at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, is a tool to automate operational procedures. Using the Timeliner language, a user can easily write scripts which control complex systems. In compiling these scripts into executable data files that can then be executed by the …

Virtualisation-Based Security Countermeasures in Software Runtime Systems
As systems become larger and more complex, the need to optimise the infrastructure in favour of reliability and redundancy becomes an imperative. Virtualisation technology seems to have partially fulfilled the needs dictated by growth by redefining the concept of infrastructure and paving the way …

Reducing instrumentation points in Larva
… the correctness assurance of huge and complex systems, runtime verification is becoming an increasingly popular technique. The Larva tool was built to automatically generate runtime verification monitors that would help to validate the behavior of Java programs at runtime. The runtime …

Formal Representation of Computer Architectures (Simulation, Language, Hardware)
… both the functionality and the performance of a target system.

Integrating Timeliner and autonomous planning
Timeliner is used to automate tasks in a target system. Timeliner is capable of automating complex sequences of actions, but the desired actions must be planned out and understood in advance by human script-writers. This thesis presents the design, implementation, and demonstration of a prototype …

An experiment using factor graph for early attack detection
… data consist of attacks that led directly to the target system being compromised, i.e., not detected in advance, either by the security analysts or by intrusion detection systems. AttackTagger can detect 74 percent of attacks before the system misuse. AttackTagger uncovered six hidden attacks that …

Exploiting persistence in CASE technology
… progression towards developing better product systems and improving software construction tools. The system includes a Metamodeller (enabling users to specify the data and process models they prefer), a Model Builder which supports multiple coexisting models and a Target System Generator. …

Refactoring transformations for maintainable, scalable and efficient parallelism
… programmer must still efficiently map it to the target system. Furthermore, the programmer who wants his application to survive the next platform must also care about maintainability and scalability. This thesis explores the concept of automated refactoring transformations to make parallel …

PACKET FILTER APPROACH TO DETECT DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS
… spoofing legitimate users, an attacker floods a target system with a high quantity of packets or connections to crash its network resources, bandwidth, equipment, or servers. Packet filtering methods are the most known way to prevent these attacks via identifying and blocking the spoofed attack …

A software package for estimation of weights & volumes of spaceborne power systems
… the weights and volumes of space borne power systems has been written. The program runs on a Zenith Z-100 microcomputer. The weight and volume of the system is calculated based on component data stored in the form of databases. An executive program which provides maximum flexibility to the …

A transputer based prototype for a fuzzy logic controller with tuning and simulation capabilities
… development and maintenance of fuzzy logic systems applied to industrial control. That method provides for tuning the rules and parameters for fuzzy control of an industrial process, without interfering in the production process itself. The capability to simulate a real-world installation is …

Automated Fault-Injection-Based Dependability Analysis of Distributed Computer Systems
… it substantially improves our ability to analyze systems without spending considerable amounts of resources to customize new tools for each new system or experiment. It separates the system-specific components (LWFI or LWT) from portable components (NFTAPE's common control mechanism) allowing the …
