The fast growing VLSI industry demands new techniques for configuring the FPGA. When it comes to defence and space application the configuration of the FPGA becomes more crucial. When it is required to configure the FPGA automatically, the need arises of more sophisticated and fast techniques for reconfiguration of FPGA. In the space application, the effect of radiation changes the bit patterns...

We outline a framework for the risk assessment of information infrastructures that generalizes the notion of dependency with respect to attributes such as confidentiality, integrity or availability. Dependencies are used to model an infrastructure at distinct abstraction levels and to discover attack strategies as well as risk mitigation plans. A plan is formulated in terms of set of countermea...

Vehicle safety depends on (a) the range of identified hazards and (b) the operational situations for which mitigations of these hazards are acceptably decreasing risk. Moreover, with an increasing degree of autonomy, risk ownership is likely to increase for vendors towards regulatory certification. Hence, highly automated vehicles have to be equipped with verified controllers capable of reliabl...

Research works in construction tend to focus on identifying and analyzing risk factors associated with projects. The researcher has identified several building projects that are mainly attributed the contractor. Risk response strategies also developed include: Avoid, Retain, Reduce Transfer. However, no research suggests which category of avoid, retain, reduce or transfer. This aims map out for...

Tomatoes produced by smallholders in the summer season Uzbekistan provide a significant part of population’s demand for tomato products. However, production is based on principles free market economy and operating at high risk. The paper aims to assess reduce level risks associated with infrastructure, financial, natural environmental, farm management political changes among entities smallholde...
