Even though software engineering have become a fundamental component to produce information systems and related software components, it is not adequate and effective for developing secure information systems. In this paper, we propose holistic, consistent, and integrated security engineering procedures for analyzing, designing, developing, testing, and maintaining secure enterprise information ...

This paper presents a reflection on using an Enterprise Architecture approach to develop in graduate students a holistic and integrated view of complex enterprises. It presents the unit rationale and design. The paper details the authentic assessment used to engage the students in the learning process. Student performance results are shown. Changes to the unit design are presented, emphasizing ...

Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing enterprise Information Technology architecture. An EA focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the bu...

The GigaNetIC project aims to develop high-speed components for networking applications based on massively parallel architectures. A central part of this project is the design, evaluation, and realization of a parameterizable network processing unit. In this paper we present a design methodology for network processors which encompasses the research areas from the application software down to th...

In this paper a description of a consistent design of an embedded hard real-time control system is given. To provide for the overall predictability of tasks' temporal behaviour, which is the ultimate requirement in such systems, all innuencing factors are taken into account in a holistic manner: system and hardware architecture, operating system issues , programming language and application des...

An important new class of communication-oriented applications are described as multi-party interactive multimedia applications. In this paper, we examine the programming abstractions, system support and communication services required by these applications; evaluate existing support; and propose strategies for improving support by combining current systems with new designs. We have taken a holi...

Service innovation is focused on customer value creation. At its core, customer-centric service innovation in an increasingly digital world is technology-enabled, human-centered, and process-oriented. This requires a cross-disciplinary, holistic approach to new service design and development (NSD). This paper proposes a new service strategy-aligned integrative design framework for NSD. It corre...

In this document an architecture for a purely Connectionist parser for Lexical Functional Grammar is proposed. It builds on recent developments in Connectionist Representation Techniques and Connectionist Parsing, to provide a distributed Connectionist implementation of Uniication which uses Holistic Computation in order to achieve constant time operation. It will exploit SRAAMs, a recently dev...

This chapter presents a general framework of resource-driven workflows as an alternative to the more popular control flow driven workflows approach. We argue that this approach is more holistic than control flow driven approaches because it considers availability of resources such as data, people, equipment, space, etc. Control flow driven approaches usually either disregard resource considerat...

Strong digitalization and shifting from unidirectional to bidirectional topology have transformed the electrical grid into a cyber-physical energy system, i.e. smart grid, with strong interdependency among various domains. It is mandatory to develop a comprehensive and holistic validation approach for such large scale system. However, a single research infrastructure may not have sufficient exp...
