E cyber threats in a contested environment provide a challenge in protecting operations and critical assets. Traditional cyber protection mechanisms can prove ineffective when facing a motivated, well-resourced adversary. As a result, many mission critical systems remain vulnerable to advanced, targeted cyber attacks despite the significant amount of effort and resources used to secure them. Co...

A study of architectural walls for energy dissipation and vibration control of buildings in seismic zones is presented. Typical architectural walls exhibit inelastic behavior; however, both the stiiness and energy dissipation capacity degrade after the walls are damaged. Integrating passive damping devices within these walls augments their energy dissipative abilities by widening the hysteresis...

The development of multi-unit urban housing, especially in the metropolises Iran, does not take into account effects cultural factors on perceived quality housing architecture. Since community is diverse metropolises, a sub-culture scale, it impossible to provide strategies and practical actions concerning related this scale culture. compatibility lifestyle at national or structural level with ...

With the predominance of mobile devices, rising energy costs, and an awareness of green practices,power consumption has become a major concern for design engineers. When power consumption is analyzed, it breaks down into two main components: static or leakage power, which occurs naturally when components are idle and powered on; and dynamic power, which is the power consumed when components are...

Models of services, processes and technology are useful tools for conceptualizing complex systems such as healthcare. The application of a component architecture helps illustrate the processes and technologies that are important to the operation of a health service and conceptualize the relationships between each component. Telehealth services are relatively recent and have characteristics that...

The architectural model of a system provides a high level description of a system in terms of components and connectors that coordinate the components to meet global requirements. Given a set of components and a scenario-based representation of the required application specific interaction requirements between the components, the application architecture design introduces connectors that provid...

We present a new software architecture for NLP systems made of heterogeneous components, and demonstrate an architectural prototype we have built at ATR in the context of Speech Translation.

Software design, from (software) requirements typically stated in terms relevant to the problem domain, produces a description of a solution that will solve the software-related aspects of the problem. Software design describes how the system is decomposed and organized into components and describes the interfaces between these components (architectural design). Software design also refines the...
