This paper focuses on performance testing of electronic noses for environmental odour monitoring in terms of their capability of correctly classifying odours at low odour concentrations. The studied case concerns the realization of an electronic nose network for the continuous monitoring of odour emissions from a crude oil extraction and separation plant. The novelty of the work consists in the fact...
Smart grid networks are becoming more and more commonly deployed due to their undisputed benefits. On the other hand, there is a high demand for reliability and functionality of these networks. This paper is analysing usage of the IP SLA for monitoring network state and collecting important information for potential problem detection and solving. The practical part of the paper presents implementation...
Fully assessing the robustness of a software application in-house is infeasible, especially considering the huge variety of hardly predictable stimuli, environments, and configurations that applications must handle in the field. For this reason, modern testing and analysis techniques can often process data extracted from the field, such as crash reports and profile data, or can even be executed directly...
In a message-passing system (MPS), components communicate through messages. However, both the time and order in which messages are delivered depend on the execution environment. The resulting nondeterminism may lead to concurrency defects such as message races, making it difficult to thoroughly test and debug MPS. This paper presents a new framework for testing components of an MPS for faults that...
This paper describes the proposed system, which is able to monitor, record and give indicator about air quality information especially the CO values in the environment. The system is designed to work real time using web-based and android applications. A portable gas detector was developed using micro controller. In order to detect the CO value, TGS2600 is used; here an additional function is added...
In this work, we present a tool that systematically discovers and tests the user-observable states of an Android application. We define an appropriate notion of test coverage, and we show the tool's potential by applying it to several publicly available applications.
Current mobile revolution is leading to an increase of wearable health devices development and consequently a growth in ambulatory monitoring area. These systems can be applied in ambulatory diseases management and diagnosis, personal health monitoring or sports performance enhancement, providing physiological and body-area ambiance data during daily normal activities. Nowadays several devices in...
Nowadays, the civil, business, and industrial electrical power loads in Indonesia are growth rapidly. The main growth is in non-linear load as source of current harmonic which causes serious problem in power quality and safety of electric power system. To solve the problem, power quality monitoring system which is integrated with more effective measurement, control, communication, and supervision...
With the rapid advance of big data and cloud computing, building high quality big data systems in different application fields has gradually became a popular research topic in academia and industry as well as government agencies. However, more quality problems lead to application errors. Although the current research work has discussed how to ensure the quality of big data applications from several...
To realize a next generation strategy for Japanese agriculture and livestock husbandry, especially aiming at developing a high effective electronic management system for cow rearing farmers. We developed a rumen pH sensor which can implement a real-time monitoring of pH value in cow rumen with low power consumption and high accuracy. The prototype of pH sensor was fabricated and packaged, which can...
The paper reports on contributions and limitations towards the long-term deployment of in-water sensors, on commercial tidal stream turbines, for monitoring of turbine condition and performance. It is recognised that specific site and ever time varying flow conditions pose monitoring challenges. For all turbine and/or blade deteriorations, fault diagnosis and prognostics are vital elements to secure...
We present sandbox mining, a technique to confine an application to resources accessed during automatic testing. Sandbox mining first explores software behavior by means of automatic test generation, and extracts the set of resources accessed during these tests. This set is then used as a sandbox, blocking access to resources not used during testing. The mined sandbox thus protects against behavior...
Developers spend a significant amount of their time exploring source code. Yet, little is known about the way developers break down their code exploration or the fine-grained navigation for change tasks within methods. The objective of our research is to address this gap and learn more about developers' code navigation for change tasks to devise better tool support. For our research, we perform exploratory...
To keep up with the growing demand for customized software solutions that are tailored to specific customer requirements, techniques like Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) or the more ad-hoc clone-and-own (where engineers do not build each product from anew, but instead maximize the reuse of the available assets in building product families) have been devised. However testing such highly variable...
Minimum performance specifications and testing methods for the evaluation of radiation portal monitors, also known as RPMs, are contained in this standard. These monitors are large-size permanently mounted-type instruments. These instruments are primarily designed for the detection of radioactive materials emitting gamma rays and neutrons. The specifications for general, radiological, environmental,...
Digital electronic equipment emitting unintentional electromagnetic signals in working state need to be tested to ensure data security. The ordinary testing method using traditional devices, such as spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope, cannot provide multi-functions and it is inconvenient outside the laboratory. The novel testing method using virtual instrument can provide more portability and flexibility...
A container is a group of processes isolated from other groups via distinct kernel namespaces and resource allocation quota. Attacks against containers often leverage kernel exploits through system call interface. In this paper, we present an approach that mines sandboxes for containers. We first explore the behaviors of a container by leveraging automatic testing, and extract the set of system calls...
In this work, we propose a novel wireless time-reversal indoor events detection system (TRIEDS). By leveraging the time-reversal (TR) technique to capture the changes of channel state information (CSI) in the indoor environment, TRIEDS enables low-complexity single-antenna devices that operate in the ISM band to perform through-the-wall multiple events detection. In TRIEDS, each indoor event is detected...
In a growing number of domains, the provisioning of end-to-end services to the users depends on the proper interoperation of multiple products, forming a new distributed system. To ensure interoperability and the integrity of this new distributed system, it is important to conduct integration tests that verify not only the interactions with the environment but also the interactions between the system...
Concurrent data structures are often tested under stress to detect bugs that can only be exposed by some rare interleavings of instructions. A typical stress test for a concurrent data structure creates a number of threads that repeatedly invoke methods of the target data structure. After a failure is detected by a stress test, developers need to localize the fault causing the failure. However, the...
