Energy Metric for Software Systems
- Acknowledging the intense requirement for low power operation in most portable computing systems, this paper introduces the notion of energy efficient software design and proposes metrics, for evaluating software systems in terms of their energy consumption. Considering the sources of power consumpt

Entropy as a measure of objectoriented design quality
- Abstract. In this paper, object-oriented designs are approached from an information theoretic point of view and entropy is proposed as a design quality metric. One of the primary aims of object-orientation is the flexibility and the ease in extending a system’s functionality, with limited alteration

Implementing Authentication Protocol for Exchanging Encrypted Messages via an Authentication Server based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography with the ElGamal’s Algorithm
- Abstract—In this paper the authors propose a protocol, which uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based on the ElGamal’s algorithm, for sending small amounts of data via an authentication server. The innovation of this approach is that there is no need for a symmetric algorithm or a safe communica

Evaluating Performance and Power of Object-Oriented Vs. Procedural Programming in Embedded Processors
- The development of high-performance and low power portable devices relies on both the underlying hardware architecture and technology as well as on the application software that executes on embedded processor cores.

Probabilistic Evaluation of Object-Oriented Systems
- The goal of this study is the development of a probabilistic model for the evaluation of flexibility of an object-oriented design. In particular, the model estimates the probability that a certain class of the system will be affected when new functionality is added or when existing functionality is

Evaluating Object-Oriented Designs with Link Analysis
- The Hyperlink Induced Topic Search algorithm, which is a method of link analysis, primarily developed for retrieving information from the Web, is extended in this paper, in order to evaluate one aspect of quality in an object-oriented model. Considering the number of discrete messages exchanged betw

A qualitative evaluation of security patterns
- Abstract. Software Security has received a lot of attention during the last years. It aims at preventing security problems by building software without the socalled security holes. One of the ways to do this is to apply specific patterns in software architecture. In the same way that the well-known

Energy complexity of software in embedded systems
- The importance of low power consumption is widely acknowledged due to the increasing use of portable devices, which require minimizing the consumption of energy. The energy in a computational system depends heavily on the software being executed, since it determines the activity in the underlying ci

Predicting the probability of change in object-oriented systems
- Abstract—Of all merits of the object-oriented paradigm, flexibility is probably the most important in a world of constantly changing requirements and the most striking difference compared to previous approaches. However, it is rather difficult to quantify this aspect of quality: This paper describes

Design Pattern Detection Using Similarity Scoring
- Abstract—The identification of design patterns as part of the reengineering process can convey important information to the designer. However, existing pattern detection methodologies generally have problems in dealing with one or more of the following issues: Identification of modified pattern vers
