Bouncer: A Robust and Flexible License Management Service for Avoiding Illegal Use of Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phases of getting a software ready and introducing it into a target-market are seldom emphasised on traditional software engineering process models. Nevertheless, these phases are of the utmost importance in the production process of many commercial applications. Within a number of activities carried out on these phases, protection of intellectual property is a key issue that must be tackled. In this paper we present a license management service that can be used to avoid illegal utilisation of applications, specially those executed over a network. The unique architectural model of our license management tool confers on it important characteristics such as robustness and flexibility, not present on other solutions currently available. We compare our approach with others and show that ours is more suitable for a wider range of applications.

Defining Robust Recovery Solutions for Preserving Service Quality during Rail/Metro Systems Failure
In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis for evaluating the effectiveness of recovery solutions in the case of disturbed rail operations. Indeed, when failures or breakdowns occur during daily service, new strategies have to be implemented so as to react appropriately and re-establish ordinary conditions as rapidly as possible. In this context, the use of rail simulation is vital: for e...

متن کاملH∞ Robust Controller Design and Experimental Analysis of Active Magnetic Bearings with Flexible Rotor System
H∞ controller for active magnetic bearings (AMBs) with flexible rotor system was designed in this paper. The motion equations of AMBs and flexible rotor system are built based on finite element methods (FEM). Weighting function matrices of H∞ controller for AMBs are studied for both the sensitivity and the complementary sensitivity of H∞ control theory. The simulation shows that the H∞ control ...
