  • The Evolution of Econometric Software Design: a Developer's View
    Journal of Economic and Social Measurement 29 (2004) 205–259 205 IOS Press The evolution of econometric software design: A developer’s view Houston H. Stokes Department of Economics, College of Business Administration, University of Illinois at Chicago, 601 South Morgan Street, Room 2103, Chicago, IL 60607-7121, USA E-mail: [email protected] In the last 30 years, changes in operating systems, computer hardware, compiler technology and the needs of research in applied econometrics have all influenced econometric software development and the environment of statistical computing. The evolution of various representative software systems, including B34S developed by the author, are used to illustrate differences in software design and the interrelation of a number of factors that influenced these choices. A list of desired econometric software features, software design goals and econometric programming language characteristics are suggested. It is stressed that there is no one “ideal” software system that will work effectively in all situations. System integration of statistical software provides a means by which capability can be leveraged. 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview The development of modern econometric software has been influenced by the changing needs of applied econometric research, the expanding capability of com- puter hardware (CPU speed, disk storage and memory), changes in the design and capability of compilers, and the availability of high-quality subroutine libraries. Soft- ware design in turn has itself impacted applied econometric research, which has seen its horizons expand rapidly in the last 30 years as new techniques of analysis became computationally possible. How some of these interrelationships have evolved over time is illustrated by a discussion of the evolution of the design and capability of the B34S Software system [55] which is contrasted to a selection of other software systems.

  • A File System Component Compiler
    A File System Component Compiler Erez Zadok [email protected] Computer Science Department Columbia University New York, NY 10027 CUCS-033-97 April 28, 1997 THESIS PROPOSAL File System development is a difficult and time consuming task, the results of which are rarely portable across operating systems. Several proposals to improve the vnode interface to allow for more flexible file system design and implementation have been made in recent years, but none is used in practice because they require costly fundamental changes to kernel interfaces, only operating systems vendors can make those changes, are still non-portable, tend to degrade performance, and do not appear to provide immediate return on such an investment. This proposal advocates a language for describing file systems, called FiST. The associated translator can generate portable C code — kernel resident or not — that implements the described file system. No kernel source code is needed and no existing vnode interface must change. The performance of the file systems automatically generated by FiST can be within a few percent of comparable hand-written file systems. The main benefits to automation are that development and maintenance costs are greatly reduced, and that it becomes practical to prototype, implement, test, debug, and compose a vastly larger set of such file systems with different properties. The proposed thesis will describe the language and its translator, use it to implement a few file systems on more than one platform, and evaluate the performance of the automatically generated code. i Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1TheProblem.......................................... 2 1.2MySolution........................................... 2 1.3AdvantagesofMySolution.................................

  • Security Probes for Industrial Control Networks
    Master in Informatics Engineering Dissertation Final Report Security Probes for Industrial Control Networks Jorge Filipe Barrigas [email protected] Academic Advisor: Prof. Tiago José dos Santos Martins da Cruz Date: July 01, 2014 Acknowledgements I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my advisor Professor Tiago Cruz for his excellent guidance, caring, patience, and providing me with an excellent atmosphere for doing research. I would also like to thank the LCT team and Professor Dr. Paulo Simões for all the support in my research. Finally, I would also like to thank my parents. They were always supporting me and encouraging me with their best wishes. Summary During the last years, some of the attacks towards SCADA made headlines, helping raise awareness . Some of the vulnerabilities may even be exploited to harm other systems, eventually, ending compromising specific points of SCADA networks. At the same time, a growing number of threats related with the physical layer made new issues and low-level mechanisms emerged, requiring careful approach and monitoring to secure such devices. Threats of this type are considered to be even more dangerous than SCADA-specific ones, since these operate at a lower level, unnoticed to scanners and anti-viruses. Considering this scenario we can expect a growing number of these threats to be affecting SCADA components, if adequate countermeasures are not taken. Over the last ten months (from September 16, 2013 until June 27, 2014), a new concept was developed, in the context of the FP7 CockpitCI project, for the current thesis, to reinforce the security of SCADA systems.

ABSTRACT Internet of Things (IoT) devices play a crucial role in the overall development of IoT in providing countless applications in various areas. Due to the increasing interest and rapid technological growth of sensor technology, which have certainly revolutionized the way we live today, a need to provide a detailed analysis of the embedded platforms and boards is consequential. This paper presents a compre- hensive survey of the recent and most-widely used commercial and research embedded systems and boards in different classification emphasizing their key attributes including processing and memory capabilities, security features, connectivity and communication interfaces, size, cost and appearance, operating system support, power specifications, and battery life and listing some interesting projects for each device. Through this exploration and discussion, readers can have an overall understanding on this area and foster more subsequent studies. INDEX TERMS Internet of Things, embedded systems, hardware platform, microcontrollers, microproces- sors, operating systems. I. INTRODUCTION components, such as memory, I/O, peripherals and wireless It is not news that Internet of things (IoT) has enormous connectivity chips in a pre-built, ready to program package.
