Optimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the PMU offline for some time. If the PMU placement provides enough redundancy, it is possible to patch a set of PMUs at a time while maintaining...
متن کاملImpact of Patching on Software Quality
W present a model of fixing or patching a software problem after the product has been released in the market. Specifically, we model a software firm’s trade-off in releasing a buggy product early and investments in fixing it later. Just as the marginal cost of producing software can be effectively zero, so can the marginal cost of repairing multiple copies of defective software by issuing patch...
متن کاملOptimal Software Release Time with Patching Considered
Optimal software release policy is a well studied topic in the software reliability literature. However, all existing studies implicitly assume that testing stops at the time of release. Due to the advances in data communication technologies, an increasing number of software producers are providing patches for software defect correction and updates subsequent to a version release. Based on this...
متن کاملSell First, Fix Later: Impact of Patching on Software Quality
We present a model of fixing or patching a software problem after the product has been released in the market. Specifically, we model a software firm’s trade-off in releasing a buggy product early and investments in fixing it later. We first show that patching investments and time to enter the market are strategic complements such that higher investments in patching capability allow the firm to...
متن کاملCybersecurity: From Ad Hoc Patching to Lifecycle of Software Engineering
The role of information assurance (IA) is critical for cyber-based technologies and products, and the risk of cyberterrorism to IA is omnipresent. In particular, to achieve IA, young and dynamic developing technologies and products should be using a defined lifecycle that leverages and builds (throughout the developmental lifecycle) on a rich and proven body of knowledge and practices in risk a...
