Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFORMAL VERIFICATION OF SAFETY MESSAGE DISSEMINATION PROTOCOL FOR VANETSM. A. Berlin, Sheila AnandThis paper presents a formal verification of a safety message dissemination protocol used in vehicular ad-hoc networks. It is proposed to use Road Side Units to broadcast road hazard information to vehicles travelling on highways. Quick dissemination of road hazard information, like road blocks, slippery roads and other obstacles can help to prevent road accidents and improve passenger safety. Formal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 9 Jul 2013 · 6,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleUsability Requirements of Formal Verification Tools: A SurveyRozilawati Razali, Paul GarrattProblem statement: Formal notations employ mathematical symbols and interpretation to illustrate system elements. The formality imposed by the notations allows the accuracy and consistency of a system model to be confirmed by verification tools. Formal notations on the other hand are difficult to understand and use by most users. As supporting instruments, verification tools are expected to be as usable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 10 Aug 2010 · 7,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDistributed Real Time Architecture for Data Placement in Wireless Sensor NetworksSanjeev Gupta, Mayank DaveProblem statement: Application scenarios of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) create interesting design challenges since the sensor nodes used to collect and communicate data may fail suddenly and unpredictably. The issue of real-time and reliable data delivery is extremely important for taking effective decisions in WSN. Approach: In this study we proposed architecture for reliable and real-time approach for data placement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConditioned Slicing for Efficient Multiway Decision Graphs Model-CheckerSaad ElmansoriIntegrating formal verification techniques into the hardware design process provides the means to rigorously prove critical properties. However, most automatic verification techniques, such as model checking, are only effectively applicable to designs of limited sizes due to the state explosion problem. The Multiway Decision Graphs (MDG) method is an efficient method to define hardware designs into more abstract environments; however, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2013 · 6,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Characteristics of Architecture Style of the Traditional Houses in the Mosul City-Analytical StudyMozahim Mohammed Mustafa, Daizhizhong, Yuan HongProblem statement: Mosul city distinguishes itself in its architecture style which has earned and developed through ages. However, this style is now prone to extinction. This is due to the lack of studies which clarify the characteristics of architecture style in the traditional architecture of the city and benefit from it for future designs and to maintain the architecture identity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSecurity Policy Development: Towards a Life-Cycle and Logic-Based Verification ModelLuay A. Wahsheh, Jim Alves-FossAlthough security plays a major role in the design of software systems, security requirements and policies are usually added to an already existing system, not created in conjunction with the product. As a result, there are often numerous problems with the overall design. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between software engineering, security engineering, and policy engineering and present … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFormal Analysis of Fault-tolerant Algorithm in the Time-triggered ArchitectureAliouat Zibouda, Aliouat Makhlouf, Batouche ChawkiTime-Triggered architecture (TTA) provides a computing infrastructure for the design and implementation of dependable distributed systems. The core building block of the TTA is the communication protocol TTP/C. This protocol has been designed to provide no faulty nodes. TTP/C integrates a set of fault-tolerant services like: message transmissions, clocks synchronization and Group Membership Protocol (GMP). The GMP protocol ensures that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
