Show moreConcurrency at both the hardware and software level has recently been considered as the solution to the classic Von Neuman bottleneck in system design. Introduced by Inmos, the Occam language and the Transputer microprocessor provide simple and elegant building blocks for a concurrent system. This thesis proposes a set of algorithms to find an optimal deterministic schedule for an Occam program executed on a network of Transputers. Also discussed are features of the network relevant to the problem of scheduling, and a complete example is provided to illustrate the scheduler. The approaches described can be used as a basis for implementing a flexible general purpose multiprocessor system.

Show moreVoice over IP (VoIP) is revolutionizing the global communications system by allowing human voice and fax information to travel over existing packet data networks along with traditional data packets. The convergence of voice and data in one simplified network brings both benefits and constraints to users. Among the several issues that need to be addressed when deploying this technology, security is one of the most critical. This thesis will present a combination of security patterns based on the systematic analysis of attacks against a VoIP network and the existing techniques to mitigate these attacks, providing good practices for all IP telephony systems. The VoIP Security Patterns which are based on object-oriented modeling, will help network designers to improve the level of security not only in voice but also in data, video, and fax over IP networks.

Show moreWe have developed reliability models for a variety of fault-tolerant software constructs including those based on two well-known methodologies: recovery block and N-version programming, and their variations. We also developed models for the conversation scheme which provides fault tolerance for concurrent software and a newly proposed system architecture, the recovery metaprogram, which attempts to unify most of the existing fault-tolerant strategies. Each model is evaluated using either GSPN, a software package based on Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets, or Sharpe, an evaluation tool for Markov models. The numerical results are then analyzed and compared. Major results derived from this process include the identification of critical parameters for each model, the comparisons of relative performance among different software constructs, the justification of a preliminary approach to the modeling of complex conversations, and the justification of recovery metaprogram regarding improvement of reliability.

Show moreAfter comparing general architectures for accessing business databases from the Web, we propose a platform-independent, language-independent, object-oriented, fourtier CORBA-based architecture. The proposed architecture is presented in pattern format. Several security mechanisms are incorporated into the proposed architecture. A Web Reservation System (WRS) was created to test this architecture. Starting from an analysis pattern, a design model for the WRS was developed using the CORBA Object Request Broker (ORB); this was a Virtual Car Reservation System (VCRS). In the VCRS system, a user can get a reservation number when necessary information is entered from a Web browser. The user can also retrieve the reservation information by using the reservation number. All reservation information is stored in a distributed database system at a remote site. A realistic application of the proposed architecture is also described. We also provide an evaluation and comparison of the proposed architecture with other architectures.

Show moreVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks is becoming the most popular telephony system in the world. However, studies of the security of VoIP networks are still in their infancy. VoIP devices and networks are commonly attacked, and it is therefore necessary to analyze the threats against the converged network and the techniques that exist today to stop or mitigate these attacks. We also need to understand what evidence can be obtained from the VoIP system after an attack has occurred. Many of these attacks occur in similar ways in different contexts or environments. Generic solutions to these issues can be expressed as patterns. A pattern can be used to guide the design or simulation of VoIP systems as an abstract solution to a problem in this environment. Patterns have shown their value in developing good quality software and we expect that their application to VoIP will also prove valuable to build secure systems. This dissertation presents a variety of patterns (architectural, attack, forensic and security patterns). These patterns will help forensic analysts as well, as secure systems developers because they provide a systematic approach to structure the required information and help understand system weaknesses. The patterns will also allow us to specify, analyze and implement network security investigations for different architectures. The pattern system uses object-oriented modeling (Unified Modeling Language) as a way to formalize the information and dynamics of attacks and systems.

For the purpose of assessing the approaches, a simple engineering application was selected for object-oriented analysis using the three techniques. The utility of each technique was compared on the basis of complexity, extensibility and reusability. While the approaches aim to provide reusable user interface components and extensibility through incorporation of an additional class, only MVC++ and PAC truly achieve this goal, although at the expense of introducing additional messaging complexity. It was also noted that, in general, decoupling of the GUI classes, while providing increased extensibility and reusability, increases the inter-object messaging requirement.

Long waits for technicians to arrive, troubleshoot the system, and repair or replace parts are no longer acceptable. This thesis presents the system architecture and functional capabilities of a maintenance processor for the Series/1. The maintenance processor designed herein can be used as the focal point of most system support activities. This approach has been used in mainframe systems for some time but has not, in the past, been deemed feasible for smaller systerns such as the Series/1. This effort demonstrates the feasibility of a maintenance processor in such systems, resulting in a simplification of hardware and software while providing a significant improvement in total system reliability, availability, and serviceability.

Show moreReal-time systems are systems where time is considered a system resource that needs to be managed. Time is usually represented in these systems as a deadline to complete a task. Unfortunately, by adding timing to even simple algorithms, it complicates them greatly. Real-time systems are by nature difficult and complex to understand. Object-oriented methodologies have attributes that allow real-time systems to be designed and implemented with less error and some control over the resultant complexity. With object-oriented design, the system is modeled in the environment that it will be used in. Objects themselves, are partitions of the system, into logical, understandable units. In this dissertation, we start by surveying the current real-time object-oriented design methodologies. By comparing these methodologies and developing a set of criteria for evaluating them, we discover that certain aspects of these methodologies still need some work. The most important aspects of the methodologies are understanding the effects of deadlines on statechart behavioral models and understanding the effects of deadlines when object models are inherited or undergo aggregation. The effects of deadlines on statecharts are then explored in detail. There are two basic ways that deadlines are added to statecharts. The first, and most popular, is adding timing as a condition on a state transition. The second is adding a count down timer to a state and forcing a transition if the timer reaches zero. We show that these are equivalent and can be used interchangeably to simplify designs. Next, the effects of deadlines on behavior models when the corresponding object models undergo inheritance or aggregation are studied. We will first analyze the effects on the behavior model when object inheritance is encountered. We found eight ways that the behavior model can be modified and still maintain the properties of inheritance. Finally, deadlines are added and the analysis is repeated.

This study looks at the RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) disk array architecture and its advantages and disadvantages for use in personal computer environments, specifically in terms of how data is protected (redundant information) and the tradeoff required to achieve that protection (sacrifice of disk capacity). It then proposes an alternative to achieving a real-time method of protecting a user's data, which involves the modification of an operating system's file system to implement selective redundancy at the file level. This approach, based on modified RAIDs, is shown to be considerably more efficient in using the capacity of the available disks. It also provides flexibility in allowing users to tradeoff space for reliability.

Show moreIn recent years robots have become increasingly important in many areas. A robotic controller requires high speed and high reliability and its design must continue these two aspects. This thesis presents a design for a Transputer based fault tolerant robot controller. For concreteness, we have designed this controller for a specific robot, the SEDAB, a prototype developed by IBM Corp. This design attempts to satisfy the two requirements of speed and reliability. Speed is achieved by the use of a concurrent structure composed of Transputers. Reliability is provided by a self-testing mechanism and a multiprocessor system architecture. The Occam implementation of the robot processes is described. We have evaluated the reliability of this controller. The reliability study shows that there is a significant increase in the reliability of this controller due to the new architecture and proposed fault detection mechanism. While we have not been able to actually control this robot, we have shown that some scheduling heuristics can be effectively used to provide a higher level of performance.

This requires the use of multiprocessors. The importance of multiprocessor systems is increasing due to many reasons, one of which is reliability. Reliability is also an important aspect in any computer system design. For reliable operation the system should be able to detect and locate most of its faults. The idea of using a set of processes collectively known as a Recovery Metaprogram (RMP) is applied in this thesis to system diagnosis. Several error location algorithms are analyzed and compared. Most of them are comparison methods. A new algorithm, called Duplication algorithm, is developed and analyzed. Primitives, oriented to the specific functions of error diagnosis, required by the RMP to coordinate recovery functions are also developed in this thesis.

Show moreCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are physical entities whose operations are monitored, coordinated, and controlled by a computing and communication core. These systems are highly heterogeneous and complex. Their numerous components and cross domain complexity make attacks easy to propagate and security difficult to implement. Consequently, to secure these systems, they need to be built in a systematic and holistic way, where security is an integral part of the development lifecycle and not just an activity after development. These systems present a multitude of implementation details in their component units, so it is fundamental to use abstraction in the analysis and construction of their architecture. In particular, we can apply abstraction through the use of patterns. Pattern-based architectural modeling is a powerful way to describe the system and analyze its security and the other non-functional aspects. Patterns also have the potential to unify the design of their computational, communication, and control aspects. Architectural modeling can be performed through UML diagrams to show the interactions and dependencies between different components and its stakeholders. Also, it can be used to analyze security threats and describe the possible countermeasures to mitigate these threats. An important type of CPS is a maritime container terminal, a facility where cargo containers are transported between ships and land vehicles; for example, trains or trucks, for onward transportation, and vice versa. Every cargo port performs four basic functions: receiving, storing, staging and loading for both, import and export containers. We present here a set of patterns that describe the elements and functions of a cargo port system, and a Reference Architecture (RA) built using these patterns. We analyze and systematically enumerate the possible security threats to a container terminal in a cargo port using activity diagrams derived from selected use cases of the system. We describe these threats using misuse patterns, and from them select security patterns as defenses. The RA provides a framework to determine where to add these security mechanisms to stop or mitigate these threats and build a Security Reference Architecture (SRA) for CPS. An SRA is an abstract architecture describing a conceptual model of security that provides a way to specify security requirements for a wide range of concrete architectures. The analysis and design are given using a cargo port as our example, but the approach can be used in other domains as well. This is the first work we know where patterns and RAs are used to represent cargo ports and analyze their security.
