An Automated Wrapper-based Approach to the Design of Dependable Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of dependable software systems invariably comprises two main activities: (i) the design of dependability mechanisms, and (ii) the location of dependability mechanisms. It has been shown that these activities are intrinsically difficult. In this paper we propose an automated wrapper-based methodology to circumvent the problems associated with the design and location of dependability mechanisms. To achieve this we replicate important variables so that they can be used as part of standard, efficient dependability mechanisms. These well-understood mechanisms are then deployed in all relevant locations. To validate the proposed methodology we apply it to three complex software systems, evaluating the dependability enhancement and execution overhead in each case. The results generated demonstrate that the system failure rate of a wrapped software system can be several orders of magnitude lower than that of an unwrapped equivalent. Keywords-Importance, Metric, Replication, Variable, Wrappers

An automatic test case generator for evaluating implementation of access control policies
One of the main requirements for providing software security is the enforcement of access control policies which aim to protect resources of the system against unauthorized accesses. Any error in the implementation of such policies may lead to undesirable outcomes. For testing the implementation of access control policies, it is preferred to use automated methods which are faster and more relia...
متن کاملBridging the semantic gap for software effort estimation by hierarchical feature selection techniques
Software project management is one of the significant activates in the software development process. Software Development Effort Estimation (SDEE) is a challenging task in the software project management. SDEE is an old activity in computer industry from 1940s and has been reviewed several times. A SDEE model is appropriate if it provides the accuracy and confidence simultaneously before softwa...
متن کاملFast SFFS-Based Algorithm for Feature Selection in Biomedical Datasets
Biomedical datasets usually include a large number of features relative to the number of samples. However, some data dimensions may be less relevant or even irrelevant to the output class. Selection of an optimal subset of features is critical, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification results. To this end, this paper presents a hybrid method of filter and wr...
متن کاملFuzzy-rough Information Gain Ratio Approach to Filter-wrapper Feature Selection
Feature selection for various applications has been carried out for many years in many different research areas. However, there is a trade-off between finding feature subsets with minimum length and increasing the classification accuracy. In this paper, a filter-wrapper feature selection approach based on fuzzy-rough gain ratio is proposed to tackle this problem. As a search strategy, a modifie...

Based on the findings of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, organizations’ data double every five years. However, the rate of using data is 0.3. Nowadays, data mining tools have greatly facilitated the process of knowledge extraction from a welter of data. This paper presents a hybrid model using data gathered from an ATM manufacturing company. The steps of the research are based on CRISP-D...
