3D mission oriented simulation

In the project ViewFinder mobile robots equipped with numerous perception sensors will be integrated into a command and control network. In order to improve the development process and secure the test phase, a simulation environment is mandatory. This paper presents the simulation needs of the project ViewFinder taking into account the robot mission planning characteristics. State of the art gr...

E-Services in Mission-Critical Organizations: Identification Enforcement

The increasing dependency of enterprise on IT has rise up major concerns on security technology and procedures. Access control mechanisms, which are the core of most security policies, are mostly based on PIN and, some times, in Public Key Cryptography (PKC). Despite these techniques can be already broadly disseminated, the storage and retrieval of security secrets is yet a sensitive and open i...

Mission-oriented Autonomic Configuration of Pervasive Systems

In pervasive systems, software applications are dynamically composed from the services provided by the smart devices spread in the local environment. A system must react to changes that occur in the environment and reconfigure applications in order to maintain their operation and assume their missions at its best. This paper advocates the need for a mission description language, which enables t...

MORALE. Mission ORiented Architectural Legacy Evolution

Software evolution is the most costly and time consuming software development activity. Yet software engineering research is predominantly concerned with initial development. MORALE is a development method specifically designed for evolving software. It features an inquiry-based approach to eliciting change requirements, a reverse engineering technique for extracting architectural information f...
