The Sandia National Laboratories SPHINX accelerator is used to study the response of electronics to pulsed x-ray and electron environments. The system consists of a Marx generator and an oil-insulated pulse-forming line with self-closing oil switches. SPHINX has a peak load voltage of 2 MV and an adjustable pulse width ranging from 3 to 10 ns. The previous pulsed-power system had reliability and triggering...
Energy efficiency is a primary concern for the ICTsector. In particular, the widespread adoption of cloud computing technologies has drawn attention to the massive energy consumption of data centers. Although hardware constantly improves with respect to energy efficiency, this should also be a main concern for software. In previous work we analyzed the literature and elicited a set of techniques for...

Assurance is an essential part of building any software system because it provides confidence and reduces the risks associated with system implementation. Assurance of service-oriented systems is similar to assurance of any distributed system. However, service-oriented environments have additional challenges because of their unique characteristics-reduced control, observability, visibility, and trust;...
A missile during air carriage is subjected to high vibratory forces. These forces consequently impose high levels of stress on the attachment points to the aircraft. A repetitive application of stress causes fatigue. However, since the vibratory forces cannot be measured directly at the interface, an inverse method utilizing missile accelerometer data has been used to determine the forces. This paper...
