In this extended abstract paper we address the problem of protecting mobile agents from possibly malicious hosts they could visit in an open e-commerce environment, the Internet. The novel approach presented is to split up a task that otherwise could be employed by a single agent into a group of agents, which communicate and cooperate by executing on different hosts. The approach has its roots ...

la présente recherche, en s’appuyant sur les concepts narratologiques de gérard genette, cherche à étudier la question du point de vue dans un amour de swann de marcel proust. l’analyse minutieuse de cette question s’avère importante pour une double raison: 1. l’étude formelle de l’œuvre monumentale qu’est à la recherche du temps perdu dépasse sans aucun doute le statut d’une simple pratique de...

nuclear facilities, though have large advantages for human being, they also creates heavy hazards. thus, the question of civil liability resulted from events of mentioned facilities are so significant. this paper studies the question of the basis and the responsible for compensation resulted from aforementioned events in international instruments, iran and french law. outcome of this study show...

This paper presents an extensible framework for testing the behavior of networked machines running the Linux operating system in the presence of faults. The framework allows injection of a variety of faults, such as faults in the computing core or peripheral devices of a machine or faults in the network connecting the machines. The system under test as well as the faultand workload run on this ...

We propose a faultand intrusion-tolerant framework for datacenter and cloud infrastructure monitoring. In contrast to existing approaches, our framework is able to deal with Byzantine faults. It is based on a replicated event broker, lying in the core of the monitoring infrastructure, supporting the dissemination of all monitoring events. We describe the architecture and the behavior of the fra...

l’homme est toujours sous le regard des 'autres', c’est sa condition permanente au cours de  son existence. pour montrer cette situation humaine, sartre, philosophe existentialiste et écrivain français le plus connu du xxe siècle, a choisit le théâtre duquel nous avons choisi deux pièces: huis clos et les mouches. dans ces pièces, chaque personnage tente de juger 'l’autre' en le comparant à lui...

This tool presentation describes UMLinux, a versatile framework for testing the behavior of networked machines running the Linux operating system in the presence of faults. UMLinux can inject a variety of faults into the hardware of simulated machines, such as faults in the computing core or peripheral devices of a machine or faults in the network connecting the machines. The system under test,...

Extensive research has shown that reliability models based upon software metrics can be used to predict which components are faultand/or failure-prone early in the development process. In this research, we seek to parallel failure-prone component prediction with security models to predict which components are attack-prone. Security experts can use these models to make informed risk management d...
