A Proposal Towards Software-Defined Management of Heterogeneous Virtualized Industrial Networks

Luca Leonardi, M. Ashjaei, H. Fotouhi, L. L. Bello. In: 2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN). 2019

Abstract: Future industrial networks are envisioned to support a broad set of applications and services with diverse communication requirements that are difficult to meet adopting a single communication technology. Software-Defined Networking and network virtualization techniques represent two promising innovations and abstractions to improve the network management and to support scalable network control fu...

Safety and Security Co-Analyses: A Systematic Literature Review

Elena Lisova, Irfan Šljivo, Aida Čaušević. In: 2019 IEEE 43rd Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC). 2019

Abstract: Over the past decade technological development has lead to systems being connected to public networks in many critical domains. In such systems bringing safety and security work has become even more important, as a connected safety-critical system is not safe if it is not secure. Given this, the main goal of this study is to investigate the current status of safety and security co-analysis in syst...

Safety and Security Co-Analyses: A Systematic Literature Review

Elena Lisova, Irfan Šljivo, Aida Čaušević. In: IEEE Systems Journal. 2019

Abstract: Latest technological trends lead toward systems connected to public networks even in critical domains. Bringing together safety and security work is becoming imperative, as a connected safety-critical system is not safe if it is not secure. The main objective of this study is to investigate the current status of safety and security co-analysis in system engineering by conducting a systematic liter...

Investigating Attack Propagation in a SoS via a Service Decomposition

Elena Lisova, Jamal El Hachem, Aida Čaušević. In: 2019 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES). 2019

Abstract: A term systems of systems (SoS) refers to a setup in which a number of independent systems collaborate to create a value that each of them is unable to achieve independently. Complexity of a SoS structure is higher compared to its constitute systems that brings challenges in analyzing its critical properties such as security. An SoS can be seen as a set of connected systems or services that needs ...

Towards a Framework for Safe and Secure Adaptive Collaborative Systems

Aida Čaušević, A. Papadopoulos, M. Sirjani. In: 2019 IEEE 43rd Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC). 2019

Abstract: Real-time adaptive systems are complex systems capable to adapt their behavior to changing conditions in the environment, and/or internal state changes. Highly dynamic and possibly unpredictable environments, and uncertain operating conditions call for new paradigms of software design, and run-time adaptation mechanisms, to overcome the lack of knowledge at design time. Main application areas incl...

An Actor-Based Design Platform for System of Systems

M. Sirjani, Giorgio Forcina, Ali Jafari, Stephan Baumgart, Ehsan Khamespanah et al. In: 2019 IEEE 43rd Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC). 2019

Abstract: In this paper, we present AdaptiveFlow as a platform for designing system of systems. A model-based development approach is proposed and tools are provided for formal verification and performance evaluation. The actor-based language, Timed Rebeca, is used for modelling, and the model checking tool Afra is used for checking the safety properties and also for performance evaluation. We investigate t...

The effect of nanoparticle and mesoporous TiO2 additions on the electronic characteristics of reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites with zinc oxide under UV irradiation

S. Abbaspour, A. Nourbakhsh, R. Ebrahimi, H. Ghayour, K. MacKenzie. In: Materials Science and Engineering: B. 2019

Abstract: Abstract Semiconducting nanocomposites were formed from layers of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and ZnO and nanoparticle or mesoporous forms of TiO2 by dip-coating on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates. The effect of nanoparticle or mesoporous TiO2 on the electrical conductivity was compared. The crystalline phases and microstructures of the nanocomposites were investigated by XRD, DRS-UV, F...

Predicting Test Case Verdicts Using Textual Analysis of Committed Code Churns

K. Al-Sabbagh, M. Staron, R. Hebig, Wilhelm Meding. In: . 2019

Abstract: . Background: Continuous Integration (CI) is an agile software development practice that involves producing several clean builds of the software per day. The creation of these builds involve running excessive executions of automated tests, which is hampered by high hardware cost and reduced development velocity. Goal: The goal of our research is to develop a method that reduces the number of execu...

Sharing of Vulnerability Information Among Companies – A Survey of Swedish Companies

Thomas Olsson, Martin Hell, Martin Höst, U. Franke, Markus Borg. In: 2019 45th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA). 2019

Abstract: Software products are rarely developed from scratch and vulnerabilities in such products might reside in parts that are either open source software or provided by another organization. Hence, the total cybersecurity of a product often depends on cooperation, explicit or implicit, between several organizations. We study the attitudes and practices of companies in software ecosystems towards sharing...

System Architecture and Application-Specific Verification Method for Fault-Tolerant Automated Driving Systems

Ayhan Mehmed, W. Steiner, Moritz Antlanger, S. Punnekkat. In: 2019 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV). 2019

Abstract: Automated vehicles come with promises for higher comfort and safety compared to standard human-driven vehicles. Various demonstrator vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities have been already presented with success. Yet, there is a large number of technical challenges to be solved until the safety levels comply with those required from safety standards, and most importantly with those fo...

Empirical analysis of practitioners' perceptions of test flakiness factors

Azeem Ahmad, O. Leifler, K. Sandahl. In: Software Testing. 2019

Abstract: Identifying the root causes of test flakiness is one of the challenges faced by practitioners during software testing. In other words, the testing of the software is hampered by test flakiness. Since the research about test flakiness in large‐scale software engineering is scarce, the need for an empirical case‐study where we can build a common and grounded understanding of the problem as well as r...

Actors Revisited for Time-Critical Systems

Marten Lohstroh, Martin Schoeberl, Andrés Goens, A. Wasicek, C. Gill et al. In: Proceedings of the 56th Annual Design Automation Conference 2019. 2019

Abstract: Programming time-critical systems is notoriously difficult. In this paper we propose an actor-oriented programming model with a semantic notion of time and a deterministic coordination semantics based on discrete events to exercise precise control over both the computational and timing aspects of the system behavior....
