The secret keys of critical network authorities -- such as time, name, certificate, and software update services -- represent high-value targets for hackers, criminals, and spy agencies wishing to use these keys secretly to compromise other hosts. To protect authorities and their clients proactively from undetected exploits and misuse, we introduce CoSi, a scalable witness cosigning protocol ensuring...
Agile software development methods have rapidly spread after their formal introduction in the agile manifesto at the dawn of the millennium. They rapidly gained support in the software industry and can be considered a standard today. Agile methods seem to improve software project success rates and offer developers the needed flexibility to adapt to changing user requirements. However, the use of agile...
The preliminary research constructs the heart beat or pulse measurement for medical science. The electrical pulse signal analysis that supports one significant clinical study. The research prototype focuses the pulse rate and analysis system which consist of hardware and software parts. The hardware uses the ATMEGA 2560 ADK R3 for processing the input optical sensors, output result to LCD, and record...
The E-governance gained currency in recent years, agencies of information technologies such as wide area networks internet and mobile computing that have ability to transform relations with citizens, business and other government. These technologies can serve a variety of improved interactions with business and industry, benefits can be less corruption increased transparency greater convenience revenue...
Deep space missions beyond earth orbit will require new methods of data communications in order to compensate for increasing Radio Frequency (RF) propagation delay. The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) standard protocols Spacecraft Monitor & Control (SM&C), Asynchronous Message Service (AMS), and Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) provide such a method. However,...
This paper introduces a low-cost framework capable of combining both real-time markerless face and body tracking for faithful avatar embodiment in Virtual Reality (VR). We discuss suitable hardware and software solutions and present a first prototype. This work lays the technological basis for further research on the importance of the appearance and behavioral realism of avatars, e.g., for the illusion...
This paper presents a first step into theconstruction of an innovative web-based eLearning platformfeaturing Learning Analytics and Gamification called ICTFLAG. The main goal and key decision at this initial stage of theplatform development is the search and selection processes of themost suitable software development framework to guide andsupport the effective construction of the platform. Despite...
This project is mainly focusing on the development and performances analysis of the Remotely Amphibian Vehicle (RAV). This innovation mends to assist human in aquatic operation as well as aerial activity. However, this is still a very recent groundwork with numbers of limitation and challenge. Challenges like transition in medium has limited and affected the performance of the vehicle in terms of...
Wireless access points are everywhere, at home, offices and public places like shopping malls, on the road and open spaces. Network engineer would require a specific tool to do wardriving, that is to search for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person in a moving vehicle. The tool could be installed inside a portable computer, smartphone or personal digital assistant. Some hobbyist does wardriving to exploit...
This paper describes the rapid prototyping of a low cost remotely controlled unmanned surface vessel (USV) intended for inspection of aqua farms. There is an increased focus on inspection of ocean-based aqua farms due to three major challenges: escaping fish, sea lice, and algae. Escaping fish may bring diseases to other fish or interbreed with wild fish and damage their gene material. Sea lice is...
Logic interpretations define the relationships between real-world entities and their logic representations. We introduce an explicit structure for documenting interpretations based on real-world types. As we have demonstrated previously, the benefits of using real-world types can be considerable, but the effort required might deter programmers. In this paper, we introduce a semi-automated mechanism...
This paper proposes a design of a medication reminder machine, including both the pill and the continuous medical tablet/powder bag reminder modules. The pill module uses MCU with software to control the LED and the buzzer to remind the user according to a specific schedule which has been inputted. The continuous medical tablet/powder bag module uses a MCU with software to control a motor to dispense...
Joint idea generation is vital in software development projects requiring team members with different knowledge specializations to exchange and integrate multiple perspectives into ideas to improve the software product. While joint idea generation is generally difficult to achieve, it is even more challenging in offshore-outsourced settings. Our goal was to understand the process of how software prototypes...
This paper presents an approach for securing software application chains in cloud environments. We use the concept of workflow management systems to explain the model. Our prototype is based on the Kepler scientific workflow system enhanced with security analytics package.
In this paper, we propose a method to optimize two-layer light field display using depth initialization. In contrast to existing trade-off work between performance and processing time, this paper firstly models the display principle of layered light field display, and then performs layered initialization with the prior known depth of 3D objects, and finally optimizes the layered images for light field...
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in National Institute of Technology (NIT), Maizuru College offers practical engineering education that teaches how to utilize skills to contribute to local area in cooperation with local society. In the lecture, the students propose solutions to problems related to local area by fabricating prototypes using their electrical and information engineering...
This paper describes the co-simulation methodology adopted for hardware verification of a next generation network packet processing engine (Advanced I/O Processor or AIOP) utilizing virtual prototype models developed originally for software verification. Though co-simulation strategies are common in verification of stand-alone processors, they have seldom been used for mega-modules and SoC, which...
Informal and semi-formal specifications are commonly adopted for requirements engineering (RE), especially for customer-oriented system development projects, but their validity with respect to the user's requirements is usually difficult to perform. The common reason for the difficulty is that the specifications are often misinterpreted by the stakeholders due to the ambiguity of the natural language...
This paper proposes an approach to concurrent feedback development method in the software development of automotive systems. The automotive software is increasing its size and complexity. Therefore, it has become more difficult to ensure quality. At the same time, automobile manufacturers demand to shorten the development time. Conventionally, we developed the software in the two phases of "prototype...
QI2S is a project financed in the frame of the European FP7 funding programme, developing the prototype of a lightweight low-power on-board processing platform that operates with a massively parallel many-core technology based on Ramon Chips ITAR free RC64 architecture. This technology will be able, in the future, of reaching performances of hundreds of GOPS and tens of GFLOPS, although for demonstrational...
