Distributed System Design

Distributed System Design

Future requirements for computing speed system reliability and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability. The subject of distributed computing is diverse and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software. Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible. With close cooperation among these PEs the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions. Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system including:inherently distributed applicationsperformance/costresource sharingflexibility and extendibilityavailability and fault tolerancescalabilityPresenting basic concepts problems and possible solutions this reference serves graduate students in distributed system design as well as computer professionals analyzing and designing distributed/open/parallel systems.

System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

Because of the growing reliance on software concerns are growing as to how reliable a system is before it is commissioned for use how high the level of reliability is in the system and how many vulnerabilities exist in the system before its operationalization. Equally pressing issues include how to secure the system from internal and external security threats that may exist in the face of resident vulnerabilities. These two problems are considered increasingly important because they necessitate the development of tools and techniques capable of analyzing dependability and security aspects of a system. These concerns become more pronounced in the cases of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. System Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies focuses on the use of soft computing techniques and analytical techniques in the modeling and analysis of dependable and secure systems. It examines systems and applications having complex distributed or networked architectures in such fields as: Nuclear energy Ground transportation systems Air traffic control Healthcare and medicine Communications System reliability engineering is a multidisciplinary field that uses computational methods for estimating or predicting the reliability aspects of a system and analyzing failure data obtained from real-world projects. System security is a related field that ensures that even a reliable system is secure against accidental or deliberate intrusions and is free of vulnerabilities. This book covers tools and techniques cutting-edge research topics and methodologies in the areas of system reliability and security. It examines prediction models and methods as well as how to secure a system as it is being developed. | System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

A Framework for Complex System Development

A Framework for Complex System Development

Industry government and academic efforts to create a generalized systems engineering process have repeatedly fallen short. The outcome? Systems engineering failures that produce losses like the September 1999 destruction of the Mars Climate Orbiter. A simple information transfer error between teams motivated far-reaching managerial and technical changes at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory-evidence of systems engineering complexity. Struck by the amount of chaos that can quickly develop from such intricacy the author has devoted several years to the development and refinement of the framework delineated in this work to help you control the chaos. A Framework for Complex System Development develops a generalized process that distinguishes between time and logical domains-how I/O evolves over time versus the instantaneous program state. Explicitly characterized and identified they preserve the framework. By combining these views you get an application specific process versatile enough for many different contexts. It also defines the technical activities that constitute the system development process and how they connect and interact with managerial activities. You will be able to integrate these activities and realize the maximum potential for success. A key element to success in today's paradigm of faster better cheaper systems and decreasing resource levels is a clear workable plan that can be easily implemented. A Framework for Complex System Development illustrates such a plan distilling the essential aspects of system design into a logical process for a well-organized development program. With A Framework for Complex System Development you can use the author's approach-developed in the crucible of the real world-to develop sound complex systems in an organized and efficient manner.

Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design

Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design

The biggest challenge in any marketplace is uncertainty. The major changes taking place in world economies politics and demographics has raised market uncertainty to its highest level in the past 50 years. However with new markets opening up in emerging and developing economies the opportunities have never been better. To compete in this challenging atmosphere product design/redesign and manufacturing must be integrated to produce better quality products faster and cheaper. Design Synthesis: Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design provides a conceptual framework and methodologies to do just that. The book explains how to integrate innovative product design with the design of a batch manufacturing system. It covers the technical and social aspects of integration presents research and best practices and embeds integration within a framework of sustainable development. It covers the two methods for achieving design synthesis: integration and harmonisation. Product manufacturing system and social system architectures are integrated (united or combined to form a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts). The concurrent processes to design the architectures are harmonised (made compatible or coincident with one another). Wide in scope the book supplies a multi-disciplinary perspective and an extensive discussion on how to maintain integrity during the design process. The authors present research and practices that are difficult or almost impossible to find. They describe the different types of system lifecycles and include guidelines on how to select the appropriate lifecycle for a specific design situation. | Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design
