Simple authenticated key agreement protocol resistant to password guessing attacks
Authors: Her-Tyan Yeh, Hung-Min Sun
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2002)

Password-based mechanism is the widely used method for user authentication. Many password-based authenticated key exchange protocols have been proposed to resist password guessing attacks. In this paper, we present a simple authenticated key agreement protocol called SAKA which is simple and cost-effective. To examine its security, we provide a formal proof of security to show its strength against both passive and active adversaries. Compared with the previously best protocols, SAKA has less number of steps and less computation cost.
Dynamic Power Management: Design Techniques and CAD Tools
Authors: Luca Benini, Giovanni de Micheli
Venue:  (1998)

:Dynamic Power Management: Design Techniques and CAD Tools addresses design techniques and computer-aided design solutions for power management. Different approaches are presented and organized in an order related to their applicability to control-units, macro-blocks, digital circuits and electronic systems, respectively. All approaches are based on the principle of exploiting idleness of circuits, systems, or portions thereof. They involve both detection of idleness conditions and the freezing of power-consuming activities in the idle components. Dynamic Power Management: Design Techniques and CAD Tools is of interest to researchers and developers of computer-aided design tools for integrated circuits and systems, as well as to system designers.
Developing E-Business Systems and Architectures: A Manager's Guide, 1st edition
Authors: Paul Harmon, Mike Guttman, Mike Rosen
Venue:  (2000)

:Developing E-Business Systems and Architectures is not another book on how the Internet is changing business or about the potential of e-commerce. The authors assume that their readers already understand these things. Rather, it is written for executives and managers of medium to large companies that are considering or arealready engaged in transforming their companies into e-businesses. These companies have huge investments in existing hardware, applications, infrastructure, and employees. Changes in software development practices and new web-based methods and techniques require time to deploy and time to retrain employees. Business models have to be revised and business processes redesigned. New information architectures are needed to tie all of these pieces together. Developing E-Business Systems and Architectures provides managers with an overview of the major concepts of e-business and a roadmap to help them develop a strategic plan of their own. The book focuses on the computer architectures and software development practices that will need to change, and how a company should approach planning for such a transition. Features: The authors, all of whom have previously written bestselling books on e-business, have years of experience in implementing these systems. Focus is on the development of architectures and the re-engineering of IT groups to support the development of distributed, component-based applications.
Primitives for authentication in process algebras
Authors: Chiara Bodei, Pierpaolo Degano, Riccardo Focardi, Corrado Priami
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We extend the &pgr;-calculus and the spi-calculus with two primitives that guarantee authentication. They enable us to abstract from various implementations/specifications of authentication, and to obtain idealized protocols which are "secure by construction". The main underlying idea, originally proposed in Focardi (Proc. Sixth Italian Conf. on Theoretical Computer Science, November 1998) for entity authentication, is to use the locations of processes in order to check who is sending a message (authentication of a party) and who originated a message (message authentication). The theory of local names, developed in Bodei et al. (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 253(2) (2001) 155) for the &pgr;-calculus, gives us almost for free both the partner authentication and the message authentication primitives.
aTool: creating validated XML documents on the fly using MS word
Authors: Oliver Meyer
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

This paper describes aTool, an extension to Microsoft's Word to create XML documents. aTool has been developed in a joint project of the publisher Springer Verlag, Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Technical University of Aachen (RWTH). It has been developed to provide Springer Verlag with uniform XML documents from its authors and has become a generic XML creation tool that can be adapted to different document structures.For an author, aTool derives XML structures from MS Word editing commands, while he creates his text. For a technical manager, aTool can be parameterized in flexible, yet simple ways to suit the needs of a specific XML application. For a programmer, the paper describes the main implementation details of aTool. The paper closes with a short comparison to other approaches and a summary of the benefits and shortcomings of aTool.

Synthesis and simulation of digital systems containing interacting hardware and software components
Authors: Rajesh K. Gupta, Claudionor Nunes Coelho,  Jr., Giovanni De Micheli
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

Synthesis of systems containing application-specific as well as re-programmable components, such as off-the-shelf microprocessors, provides a promising approach to realization of complex systems using a minimal amount of application-specific hardware while still meeting the required performance constraints. We describe an approach to synthesis of such hardware-software systems starting from behavioral description as input. The input system model is partitioned into hardware and software components based on imposed performance constraints. Synchronization between various elements of a mixed system design is one of the key issues that any synthesis system must address. In this paper, we consider software and interface synchronization schemes that facilitate communication between system components. We present tools to perform synthesis and simulation of a system description into hardware and software components. In particular, we describe a program, Poseidon, that performs concurrent event-driven simulation of multiple functional modules implemented either as a program or as behavioral or structural hardware models. Input to Poseidon consists of description of interacting functional models with their respective clock cycle times and the interface synchronization scheme chosen by the partitioner. The resulting software component is assumed to be implemented for the DLX machine, a load/store microprocessor. We present simulation examples and design of a graphics controller demonstrate the feasibility of mixed system synthesis.

Applying a pattern language to develop application-level gateways
Authors: Douglas C. Schmidt
Venue: Design patterns in communications software (2001)

Developers of communication applications must address recurring design challenges related to efficiency, extensibility, and robustness. These challenges are often independent of application-specific requirements. Successful developers resolve these challenges by applying appropriate pattern and pattern languages. Traditionally, however, these patterns have been locked in the heads of expert developers or buried deep within complex system source code. The primary contribution of this chapter is to describe a pattern language that underlies object-oriented communication software. In addition to describing each pattern in this language, the chapter illustrates how knowledge of the relationships and trade-offs among the patterns help guide the construction of reusable communication frameworks and applications.

Venue:  (1999)

:Reuse Techniques for VLSI Design is a reflection on the current state of the art in design reuse for microelectronic systems. To that end, it is the first book to gamer the input of leading experts from both research and application areas. These experts document herein not only their more mature approaches, but also their latest research results.The background and support from international organisations that enforce System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design by reuse- oriented methodologies are presented. This overview is followed by a number of technical presentations covering different requirements of the reuse domain. These are presented from different points of view, i.e., IP provider, IP user, designer, isolated reuse, intra-company or inter-company reuse. More general systems or case studies, e.g., metrics, are followed by comprehensive reuse systems, e.g., reuse management systems partly including business models.Mixed- signal and analog reuse approaches are also presented. In parallel to the digital domain, this area covers research in reuse database design. Design verification and legal aspects are two important topics that are closely related to the realization of design reuse. These hot topics are covered by presentations that finalize the survey of outstanding research, development and application of design reuse for SoC design. Reuse Techniques for VLSI Design is an invaluable reference for researchers and engineers involved in VLSI/ASIC design.

Standardizing agent interoperability: the FIPA approach
Authors: Stefan Poslad, Patricia Charlton
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

A prolific number of different Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and associated applications have been developed in numerous research institutes and industrial laboratories world-wide. Perhaps the most important barrier to MAS making a successful transition form this research environment towards widespread adoption for consumer products and businesses, is the lack of interoperability between heterogeneous MA Systems. In 1996, the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) was formed to provide a forum for developing specifications for agent systems. Since its formation, FIPA has increasingly focussed more on standardizing (multi-agent system) agent interoperability. As a result, it is often said that FIPA really stands for the Foundation for InteroPerable Agents. In this article, we discuss both technical and scientific issues in defining standards for interoperability between agents in different MA systems with a particular focus on the FIPA agent interoperability standards.
