  2. 6. Architecting and Modeling Automotive Embedded Systems

    Author : Ola Larses; Martin Törngren; Kurt Sandkuhl; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Automotive; Embedded systems; Architecture; Dependability; Cost; Systems engineering; Systemteknik;

    Abstract : Dealing properly with electronics and software will be a strong competitive advantage in the automotive sector in the near future. Electronics are driving current innovations and are at the same time becoming a larger part of the cost of the vehicle. READ MORE

  4. 7. A Quantitative Approach to Computer Security from a Dependability Perspective

    Author : Erland Jonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrusions; computers; modelling; vulnerability; dependability evaluation; experimentation; terminology; operational security; reliability; concepts; measures;

    Abstract : Security and dependability represent two very important attributes of modern computer systems, especially in the light of the increasing complexity and criticality of these systems. These two disciplines have traditionally been treated separately, although lately some attempts have been made to integrate them. READ MORE

  5. 8. Practical Experimentation as a Tool for Vulnerability Analysis and Security Evaluation

    Author : Tomas Olovsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computers; dependability; vulnerabilities; tiger teams; taxonomy; operational security; analysis; security; terminology;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis describes the results of applying dependability methods to the security area. A uniform taxonomy for security, expected to contain all characteristic attributes, is presented. This taxonomy will hopefully increase the understanding of security issues. READ MORE

  6. 9. Modeling and Tuning Security from a Quality of Service Perspective

    Author : Stefan Lindskog; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network security; quality of service QoS ; tunable security; dependability; security service; data protection; security evaluation; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Security has traditionally been thought of as a system or network attribute that was the result of the joint endeavors of the designer, maintainer and user, among others. Even though security can never reach a level of 100%, the aim has been to provide as much security as possible, given the boundary conditions in question. With the advent of, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 10. Towards Dependable Virtual Companions for Later Life

    Author : Dennis Maciuszek; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Older adults; assistive technology; virtual companion; dependability; requirements; software architecture; agents; patterns; user involvement; personalisation; human-computer interaction; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : When we grow older, we become more vulnerable to certain reductions in quality of life. Caregivers can help, however human care is limited, and will become even scarcer in the near future. READ MORE
