A cohesive framework to quantify computer systems assurance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study introduces a systems-engineering and evaluation methodology that focuses on the stability of an entire computing infrastructure. More specifically, the conducted research elaborates on the cohesive systems assurance (CSA) methodology, which encapsulates the concepts and methods of product assurance (reliability, availability, and maintainability), performance & scalability, and dependability (security and safety), respectively. The argument made in this study is that systems stability represents the quality of service provided by an entire computing infrastructure, and therefore quantifies the usefulness, trustworthiness, and effectiveness of the environment.

Key Factors for Defining the Conceptual Framework for Quality Assurance in E-Learning
E-learning has evolved for more than a decade, and universities are gradually embracing e-learning to provide more learning experience for their learners. E-learning is the use of electronic means through which training is received and obtained. E-learning offers a wide range of advantages (time and room mobility, cost-effectiveness, etc.) and also overcomes the limitations of digital learning ...
متن کاملDesign of a Novel Framework to Control Nonlinear Affine Systems Based on Fast Terminal Sliding-Mode Controller
In this paper, a novel approach for finite-time stabilization of uncertain affine systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, a fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) controller is designed, based on the input-output feedback linearization of the nonlinear system with considering its internal dynamics. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is that only the outputs and external state...
متن کاملPublic Participation: More than a Method?; Comment on “Harnessing the Potential to Quantify Public Preferences for Healthcare Priorities through Citizens’ Juries”
While it is important to support the development of methods for public participation, we argue that this should not be at the expense of a broader consideration of the role of public participation. We suggest that a rights based approach provides a framework for developing more meaningful approaches that move beyond public participation as synonymous with consultation to value the contribution ...
