Security assessments are costly and time consuming and cannot be carried out from scratch each time a system is updated or modified. This motivates the need for specific methodology addressing the maintenance of assessment results, in particular, and a componentoriented approach to security assessment in general. This paper presents such a methodology in the setting of model-based security asse...

As supply chains become more and more dynamic, the problem of rapidly integrating the data sources of new suppliers i s becoming increasingly important. This paper describes the Ariadne system, which can be used to quickly provide access to data sources of new supplier and requires only that the data of the suppliers is available on the Web. Our approach does not require reengineering the indiv...

Resin injection such as resin transfer molding (RTM) is commonly applied in industry for serial production of composite components. RTM process simulation enables prediction of process parameters that are essential for component and tool design. As for all simulations where material behavior is modeled, validated material properties are indispensable for realistic simulations. Currently, materi...

Determining the genomic locations of transposable elements is a common experimental goal. When mapping large collections of transposon insertions, individualized amplification and sequencing is both time consuming and costly. We describe an approach in which large numbers of insertion lines can be simultaneously mapped in a single DNA sequencing reaction by using digital error-correcting codes ...

The low-frequency methods used by most utilities nowadays for measuring the resistance of transmission line ground electrodes are inaccurate or cannot be applied when overhead groundwires are connected to the towers. Moreover, many of them are costly and time consuming. This paper proposes and compares two new methods for evaluating the transient impedance of transmission line towers. Both meth...

• the systems cannot evolve to provide new functionalities required by the organisation • they run on obsolete hardware which is expensive to maintain and reduces productivity due to the low speed of the old hardware • maintenance is expensive, tracing failures is costly and time consuming due to the lack of documentation and a general lack of understanding of the internal workings • integratio...

Training a high-accuracy dependency parser requires a large treebank. However, these are costly and time-consuming to build. We propose a learning method that needs less data, based on the observation that there are underlying shared structures across languages. We exploit cues from a different source language in order to guide the learning process. Our model saves at least half of the annotati...

Present paper discusses the working methodologies used for drop test. Engineers widely used physical testing method to investigate the behaviour of cellular phone during drop test. It is very costly, time consuming and complex. Finite element analysis provides numerical models without spent so much money on physical testing methods. Drop test simulation is one of the important tool uses for the...

with increasing competition in today’s markets, the vital point for companies is to maintain their market shares. therefore, marketers try to vitalize the companies’ brands, in order to maintain their position in market. whereas, creation a new brand is very costly and time consuming and its chance of success is limited, nowadays, more than ever, marketers are trying to achieve their goals thro...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...
