Value-Based Software Engineering

by Barry W. Boehm - ACM Software Engineering Notes , 2003
"... Abstract—This paper provides a definition of the term “software engineering ” and a survey of the current state of the art and likely future trends in the field. The survey covers the technology available in the various phases of the software life cycle—requirements engineering, design, coding, test ..."

The WEKA Data Mining Software: An Update

by Mark Hall, Eibe Frank, Geoffrey Holmes, Bernhard Pfahringer, Peter Reutemann, Ian H. Witten
"... More than twelve years have elapsed since the first public release of WEKA. In that time, the software has been rewritten entirely from scratch, evolved substantially and now accompanies a text on data mining [35]. These days, WEKA enjoys widespread acceptance in both academia and business, has an a ..."

Foundations for the Study of Software Architecture

by Dewayne E. Perry, Alexander L. Wolf - ACM SIGSOFT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING NOTES , 1992
"... The purpose of this paper is to build the foundation for software architecture. We first develop an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. On the basis of this intuition, we present a model of software architec-ture that consists of th ..."

conclude by presenting some of the benefits of our approach to software architecture, sum-marizing our contributions, and relating our approach to other current work.

Efficient Software-Based Fault Isolation

by Robert Wahbe, Steven Lucco, Thomas E. Anderson, Susan L. Graham , 1993
"... One way to provide fault isolation among cooperating software modules is to place each in its own address space. However, for tightly-coupled modules, this solution incurs prohibitive context switch overhead, In this paper, we present a software approach to implementing fault isolation within a sing ..."

to an address outside its fault domain. Both these software operations are portable and programming language independent. Our approach poses a tradeoff relative to hardware fault isolation: substantially faster communication between fault domains, at a cost of slightly increased execution time for distrusted

Clustering by passing messages between data points

by Brendan J. Frey, Delbert Dueck - Science , 2007
"... Clustering data by identifying a subset of representative examples is important for processing sensory signals and detecting patterns in data. Such “exemplars ” can be found by randomly choosing an initial subset of data points and then iteratively refining it, but this works well only if that initi ..."

so in less than one-hundredth the amount of time. Clustering data based on a measure of similarity is a critical step in scientific data analysis and in engineering systems. A common approach is to use data to learn a set of centers such that the sum of

Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of components, and intermediary components to reduce interaction latency, enforce security, and encapsulate legacy systems. I describe the software engineering principles guiding REST and the interaction constraints chosen to retain

Dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection, analysis, and signature generation of exploits on commodity software

by James Newsome, Dawn Song - In Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium , 2005
"... Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or even minutes, and cause millions of dollars of damage [32, 51]. To successfully combat these fast automatic Internet attacks, we nee ..."

, and hence works on commodity software. To demonstrate this idea, we have implemented TaintCheck, a mechanism that can perform dynamic taint analysis by performing binary rewriting at run time. We show that TaintCheck reliably detects most types of exploits. We found that TaintCheck produced no false

Data Streams: Algorithms and Applications

by S. Muthukrishnan , 2005
"... In the data stream scenario, input arrives very rapidly and there is limited memory to store the input. Algorithms have to work with one or few passes over the data, space less than linear in the input size or time significantly less than the input size. In the past few years, a new theory has emerg ..."

Synchronous data flow

by Edward A. Lee, et al. , 1987
"... Data flow is a natural paradigm for describing DSP applications for concurrent implementation on parallel hardware. Data flow programs for signal processing are directed graphs where each node represents a function and each arc represents a signal path. Synchronous data flow (SDF) is a special case ..."
Abstract - Cited by 622 (45 self) - Add to MetaCart
of data flow (either atomic or large grain) in which the number of data samples produced or consumed by each node on each invocation is specified a priori. Nodes can be scheduled statically (at compile time) onto single or parallel programmable processors so the run-time overhead usually associated

Implementing data cubes efficiently

by Venky Harinarayan, Anand Rajaraman, Jeffrey D. Ulman - In SIGMOD , 1996
"... Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data as multidimensional data cubes. Each cell of the data cube is a view consisting of an aggregation of interest, like total ..."
