A Constrained, Possibilistic Logical Approach For Software System Survivability Evaluation, Yanjun Zuo
A Constrained, Possibilistic Logical Approach For Software System Survivability Evaluation, Yanjun Zuo
Accountancy Faculty Publications
In this paper, we present a logical framework to facilitate users in assessing a software system in terms of the required survivability features. Survivability evaluation is essential in linking foreign software components to an existing system or obtaining software systems from external sources. It is important to make sure that any foreign components/systems will not compromise the current system’s survivability properties. Given the increasing large scope and complexity of modern software systems, there is a need for an evaluation framework to accommodate uncertain, vague, or even ill-known knowledge for a robust evaluation based on multi-dimensional criteria. Our framework incorporates user-defined …
A Peer-Tree Based Location Lookup Service In Mobile Wireless Networks, Jun Liu
A Peer-Tree Based Location Lookup Service In Mobile Wireless Networks, Jun Liu
Computer Science Faculty Publications
We present a location look-up service for aiding location-based routing in wireless networks with mobile hosts. This location look up service is constructed based on a peer-tree indexing structure which represents the friendship relations among mobile hosts. The friendship is derived from the relations of sharing various-length common suffixes of host identifiers. A friendship relation determines the cooperation relation among mobile hosts. The Peer-Tree indexing structure provides a guideline for propagating location updates and queries in an organized manner. Each host periodically propagates its up-to-date location to a small number of its friends. Location queries are forwarded to and serviced …
