The objectives of the 1994 Workshop were to inform the LARC community about the current software system and software practices being used at LARC. To meet these objectives, there were talks presented by members of the Langley community, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Old Dominion University and Hampton University. The workshop was organized in 10 sessions as follows: Software Engineering Software Engineering Standards, Methods, and CASE Tools Solutions of Equations Automatic Differentiation Mosaic and the World Wide Web Graphics & Image Processing System Design and Integration CAE Tools Languages Advanced Topics This document is a compilation of the presentations given at the workshop. The Conference was also videotaped and the videotapes are archived at the NASA Learning Resource Center (804-864-2325). Appreciation is expressed to the individuals that participated by presenting and attending the workshop.

  • Real-Time Visualization of Aerospace Simulations Using Computational Steering and Beowulf Clusters
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Computer Science and Engineering REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION OF AEROSPACE SIMULATIONS USING COMPUTATIONAL STEERING AND BEOWULF CLUSTERS A Thesis in Computer Science and Engineering by Anirudh Modi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2002 We approve the thesis of Anirudh Modi. Date of Signature Paul E. Plassmann Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Lyle N. Long Professor of Aerospace Engineering Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Rajeev Sharma Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Padma Raghavan Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Mark D. Maughmer Professor of Aerospace Engineering Raj Acharya Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering iii ABSTRACT In this thesis, a new, general-purpose software system for computational steering has been developed to carry out simulations on parallel computers and visualize them remotely in real-time. The steering system is extremely lightweight, portable, robust and easy to use. As a demonstration of the capabilities of this system, two applications have been developed. A parallel wake-vortex simulation code has been written and integrated with a Virtual Reality (VR) system via a separate graphics client. The coupling of computational steering of paral- lel wake-vortex simulation with VR setup provides us with near real-time visualization of the wake-vortex data in stereoscopic mode. It opens a new way for the future Air-Traffic Control systems to help reduce the capacity constraint and safety problems resulting from the wake- vortex hazard that are plaguing the airports today.

  • HDF-EOS Interface Based on HDF5, Volume 2: Function Reference Guide Was Prepared Under the EOSDIS Evolution and Development-2 Contract (NNG15HZ39C)
    This page intentionally left blank. Preface This document is a Users Guide for HDF-EOS (Hierarchical Data Format - Earth Observing System) library tools. The version described in this document is HDF-EOS Version 5.1.16. The software is based on HDF5, a new version of HDF provided by by The HDF Group. HDF5 is a complete rewrite of the earlier HDF4 version, containing a different data model and user interface. HDF-EOS V5.1.16 incorporates HDF5, and keeps the familier HDF4-based interface. There are a few exceptions and these exceptions are described in this document. Note that the major functional difference is that Version 5.1.16 of the HDF-EOS library is a thread-safe. HDF is the scientific data format standard selected by NASA as the baseline standard for EOS. This Users Guide accompanies Version 5.1.16 software, which is available to the user community on the EDHS1 server. This library is aimed at EOS data producers and consumers, who will develop their data into increasingly higher order products. These products range from calibrated Level 1 to Level 4 model data. The primary use of the HDF-EOS library will be to create structures for associating geolocation data with their associated science data. This association is specified by producers through use of the supplied library. Most EOS data products which have been identified, fall into categories of Point, Grid, Swath or Zonal Average structures, the latter two of which are implemented in the current version of the library. Services based on geolocation information will be built on HDF-EOS structures.

  • Practical Issues with TLS Client Certificate Authentication
    Practical Issues with TLS Client Certificate Authentication Arnis Parsovs Software Technology and Applications Competence Center, Estonia University of Tartu, Estonia [email protected] Abstract—The most widely used secure Internet communication Active security research is being conducted to improve standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) has an optional client password security, educate users on how to resist phishing certificate authentication feature that in theory has significant attacks, and to fix CA trust issues [1], [2]. However, the attacks security advantages over HTML form-based password authenti- mentioned above can be prevented or their impact can be cation. In this paper we discuss practical security and usability greatly reduced by using TLS client certificate authentication issues related to TLS client certificate authentication stemming (CCA), since the TLS CCA on the TLS protocol level protects from the server-side and browser implementations. In particular, we analyze Apache’s mod_ssl implementation on the server the client’s account on a legitimate server from a MITM side and the most popular browsers – Mozilla Firefox, Google attacker even in the case of a very powerful attacker who has Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer on the client side. We obtained a valid certificate signed by a trusted CA and who complement our paper with a measurement study performed in thus is able to impersonate the legitimate server. We believe Estonia where TLS client certificate authentication is widely used. that TLS CCA has great potential for improving Internet We present our recommendations to improve the security and security, and therefore in this paper we discuss current issues usability of TLS client certificate authentication.
