Many organizations today still manage mid or large in-house data centers that require very expensive maintenance efforts, including fault detection. Common monitoring frameworks used to quickly detect faults are complex to deploy/maintain, expensive, and intrusive as they require the installation of probes on monitored hw/sw to collect raw data. Such intrusiveness can be problematic as it imposes...
Monitoring systems are commonly used by many organizations to collect information about their system and network operations. Typically, SNMP, IDS, or software agents generate log data and store them in a centralized monitoring system for analysis. However, malicious employees, attackers, or even organizations themselves can modify such data to hide malicious activities or to avoid expensive non-compliance...
Remote sensing provides huge multi-temporal data for earth surface, which has not been used completely. In the study, based on Visual C++ and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, a multi-temporal data processing system using Grey Model (GM) is developed. By the interactive system, some functions, such as data input/output, visualization, simulation, prediction, data transformation, comparison,...
Due to the continuously growing possibilities provided by technology and its wider application, today's IT products are becoming more and more complex both from technical and managerial standpoints. Very often, multiple parties are involved in their development. Consequently, the organization of the integration and testing of these products gets increasingly complex. Organisations already encounter...
A process is an important concept in modern software development. Only when the activities are organized in process descriptions, can these be communicated, followed, observed, and improved. The basis for understanding what testing is, is therefore the understanding of the testing process. This paper presents the general concept of a process, and expands on this to present a suggestion for a generic...
Software security testing tools and methodologies are presently abundant, and the question no longer seems to be "if to test" for security, but rather "where and when to test" and "then what?". In this paper we present a review of security testing literature, and propose a software security testing scheme that exploits an intra-organisational repository of discovered...
The UNICORE grid system provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed grid resources. In recent years, UNICORE 5 is used as a well-tested grid middleware system in production grids (e.g. DEISA, D-Grid) and at many supercomputer centers world-wide. Beyond this production usage, UNICORE serves as a solid basis in many European and International research projects and business scenarios...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
In recent years, organizations have been shifting focus to their core business competencies, and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) associated with training and management of their IT infrastructure. In the same motif, organizations are establishing security and survivability frameworks as an integral part of their business strategy so as to provide an acceptable quality-of-service for their clients...
