A Design Theory for Secure Information Systems Design Methods

2006

Many alternative methods for designing secure information systems (SIS) have been proposed to ensure system security. However, within all the literature on SIS methods, there exists little theoretically grounded work that addresses the fundamental requirements and goals of SIS design. This paper first uses design theory to develop a SIS design theory framework that defines six requirements for SIS design methods, and second, shows how known SIS design methods fail to satisfy these requirements. Third, the paper describes a SIS design method that does address these requirements and reports two empirical studies that demonstrate the validity of the proposed framework. peerReviewed

P2PRealm - Peer-to-Peer Network Simulator

2006

Peer-to-peer realm (P2PRealm) is an efficient peer-to-peer network simulator for studying algorithms based on neural networks. In contrast to many simulators, which emphasize on detailed network simulation, the speed of simulation in P2PRealm is essential, because neural networks require a time consuming training phase. Efficiency has been obtained by optimizing training loops inside the simulator, using Java native interface (JNI) as well as distributing the simulator to hundreds of workstations using the P2PDisCo platform. In this paper we describe the architecture of P2PRealm and its input/output interfaces. Also, we present the mechanisms used for internally optimizing the implementatio…

Pellet: A Practical OWL-DL Reasoner

2007

In this paper, we present a brief overview of Pellet: a complete OWL-DL reasoner with acceptable to very good performance, extensive middleware, and a number of unique features. Pellet is the first sound and complete OWL-DL reasoner with extensive support for reasoning with individuals (including nominal support and conjunctive query), user-defined datatypes, and debugging support for ontologies. It implements several extensions to OWL-DL including a combination formalism for OWL-DL ontologies, a non-monotonic operator, and preliminary support for OWL/Rule hybrid reasoning. Pellet is written in Java and is open source.

A New Environment for Distributed Multiple Vehicles Dynamics Control and Simulation

2007

Although there are many simulation softwares, the 3D multi-vehicle field needs further study. This paper describes a lightweight, full portable software environment for development, simulation and control of vehicles. This environment simulates ground wheeled vehicles and their environment. Multi vehicle study can be done adding the vehicle mathematical model and the 3D graphical model. The scenario is displayed as a 3D virtual reality environment in which all the objects are rendered using a combination of 3D primitive and/or pre-built 3D objects loaded from file. Since the software is made up of a set of multi-treading object-oriented Java classes, there are many advantages as portability…

Effects and Benefits of Node Sharing Strategies in HPC Batch Systems

2019

Processor manufacturers today scale performance by increasing the number of cores on each CPU. Unfortunately, not all HPC applications can efficiently saturate all cores of a single node, even if they successfully scale to thousands of nodes. For these applications, sharing nodes with other applications can help to stress different resources on the nodes to more efficiently use them. Previous work has shown that the performance impact of node sharing is very application dependent but very little work has studied its effects within batch systems and for complex parallel application mixes. Administrators therefore typically fear the complexity of running a batch system supporting node sharing…

A task scheduling algorithm for HPC applications using colored stochastic Petri Net models

2017

The increase in demand for High Performance Computing (HPC) scientific applications motivates the efforts to reduce costs of running these applications. The problem to solve is that of dynamical multi-criterial optimal scheduling of an application on a HPC platform with a high number of heterogeneous nodes. The solution proposed by the authors is a HPC hardware-software architecture that includes the infrastructure for two level (node and inter-node level) adaptive load balancing. The article presents the development of an Coloured Petri Net(CPN) for such an architecture. The model was used for the development of a dynamic distributed algorithm for the scheduling problem. The CPN allowed a …

A FAST Method to Achieve Flexible Production Programming Systems

2008

One of the main critical problems in manufacturing system domains is the production scheduling process, because an agile and reactive production planning and scheduling system is essential in manufacturing. The production scheduling process is a complex problem in which finding a suitable production scheduling can greatly increase the effectiveness of highly flexible production processes. Nevertheless, this high flexibility makes the production scheduling and acquisition of relevant data quite complicated. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a universal and flexible tool for production scheduling capable of increasing the utilization of resources and that supports a decision-making proc…

Reclutamiento y reclutas en la ciudad de Valencia (1717-1762)

2019

This research aims to analyze recruitment by quintas, Spanish word for recruitment levies by lot, in the city of Valencia and the townships included in its jurisdictional area. The analyzed period began in 1717 with the first levie decreted by king Philip V once the War of Spanish Succession was over. Applied this levie in the kingdom of Valencia, this was the first application of levies by lot. The closing year for the reported period up to 1762, whith the last levy made by king Charles III before the establishment of the annual periodicity for the recruitment process. Procedures with which human contingents claimed to the city of Valencia between the mentioned dates were organized and dis…
