A new portable communication test (Mini-communication test) for dementia

A new screening test for dementia.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new screening test for detecting the demented elderly in the early stage in communities. The test is easy to apply for consultation, guidance and care and is capable of administering differential diagnoses. Based on the 9 dementia rating scales used in Japan, Europe and the U.S., a new test was completed after investigating and modifying the design 5 ti...

Test development for communication protocols: towards automation

In this paper we give an introduction to methods and tools for testing communication protocols and distributed systems. In this context, we try to answer the following questions: Why are we testing? What are we testing? Against what are we Ž testing?... We present the different approaches of test automation and explain the industrial point of view automatic test . Ž . execution and the research...

Designing Reliable Test Architectures for Communication Protocols

In an external architecture for testing communication protocols, the service provider is an abstraction of the stack of protocols and the public data network interconnecting the lower tester with the implementation under test. In this paper, the effects of a public data network are studied (i.e. the service provider) when testing a protocol implementation's conformity to its speci"cation. The t...

A New Authentication Protocol for Portable Communication Systems

With the global deployment of portable communication systems and the ongoing developments in this area, one expects more and more sophisticated security features to be provided such as entity authentication, robust user identity confidentiality and non-repudiation services. Motivated by these new security requirements, this article analyzes the security of authentication protocols in several mo...
