Objectives:
• Increase the

by the resources
Decrease the risk
associated with
resource sharing
Enable resource
accountability
Utility of The Trust Model

Integrating trust into resource management
systems (RMSs)
• The idea is to make trust cognizant resource
allocations

Integrating trust into computing utility
environments

Introducing the notion of trusted regions
Real-time and Simulation

Access control using expert system, artificial neural
networks and parallel rules have been tested on both
active and non-active platforms.

Real-time platform

Processing on the fly was tested by linking the C code
of PVM to handle MATLAB applications.

A 16-node Active Network system with both
ergodic and non-ergodic capabilities have been
tested on NS Simulator.
• Language used: Java.
• Clustering of PCs using PVM.
• Heterogeneous platforms used.
Planned Future Work

In general, the access lists are fixed for a network
and so its easy to parallelize them and then apply
it using active networks approach.

Future work requires parallelize the rules on-thefly and allocated job to the respective routers
using active networks.

To induce routing decisions using active networks.
One scenario is to make Link-state protocols
stabilize faster.

Systems
Software Engineering research project

Project: Investigating Design Quality Characteristics
for Refactoring and Refactoring To Patterns Using
Software Metrics

Objective: to confirm or invalidate the claims that cost
and time put into refactoring are worthwhile.

In this research we will investigate:
• An approach to detect the need to refactor early in the
•

software process.
Two refactoring approaches: refactoring to produce design
patterns, and refactoring that produces code without design
patterns.
Using software metrics, we will quantitatively
investigate whether those approaches really improve
software quality or not
