An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
We extend Cyclone, a type-safe polymorphic language at vel of abstraction, with threads and locks. Data races can violate type safety in Cyclone. An extended type system staticall...
Latent sector errors (LSEs) refer to the situation where particular sectors on a drive become inaccessible. LSEs are a critical factor in data reliability, since a single LSE can ...
Modeling and analysis of information system vulnerabilities helps us to predict possible attacks to networks using the network configuration and vulnerabilities information. As a f...
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a safety-analysis technique that has been recently extended to accommodate product-line engineering for critical domains. This paper describes a tool-...
