  • Security and privacy issues complicate wireless local area network deployment. for a wired network, certain levels of security are maintained since access to the physical medium is restricted to the devices physically connected to the network. Though wireless local area networks offer some built-in security features, security breaches are possible if appropriate precautions are not taken. This paper describes security issues related to wireless local area networks and presents a software approach for restricting and controlling wireless access. The system authenticates users on the basis of identity, privileges and access hardware by distributed software agents that implement security policy and restrict unauthorized access.

  • IoT devices are interconnected in global network with different functionalities and manage the data transfer in cloud computing. IoT devices can be used anytime, anywhere with any device with different applications and protocols. Same devices but different applications according to end user requirements such as sensors and Wi-Fi devices, reusability of these applications can enhance the development process. However, large number of variations in cloud computing make it difficult the features selection in application because of compatibility issues of devices. In this paper we have proposed multi-Software Product Lines (multi-SPLs) approach to manage the variabilities and commonalities of IoT applications and protocols. Feature modeling is used to manage the commonalities and variabilities of SPL. We proposed that multi-SPLs feature model is more appropriate for modeling of IoT applications and protocols.

  • This paper presents a computationally efficient implementation of a Hamming code decoder on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to support real-time software-defined radio, which is a software alternative for realizing wireless communication. The Hamming code algorithm is challenging to parallelize effectively on a GPU because it works on sparsely located data items with several conditional statements, leading to non-coalesced, long latency, global memory access, and huge thread divergence. To address these issues, we propose an optimized implementation of the Hamming code on the GPU to exploit the higher parallelism inherent in the algorithm. Experimental results using a compute unified device architecture (CUDA)-enabled NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560, including 335 cores, revealed that the proposed approach achieved a 99x speedup versus the equivalent CPU-based implementation.

  • This paper developed the software testing factory-cloud testing platform (STF-CTP) to address the software compatible issues in various smart devices. Software developers who only require uploading the application under test (AUT) and test script can test plenty of smart devices in STF-CTP. The challenge for the cloud test platform is how to optimize the resource and increase the performance in the limited resource. This paper proposed a new scheduling mechanism and a new process of the system operation which is based on the OpenStack platform. We decrease about 40% memory usage of OpenStack server, increase 3% to 10% Android device usage of STF-CTP, enhance about 80% test job throughput and reduces about 40% test job average waiting time.

  • Software testing is an activity to find defects included in software through creating test cases from the software system specification. In order to perform software testing effectively, it is required to prepare the full test plan, to create well-defined test cases, and to execute test monitoring activities systematically. Most existing researches for the test approaches focus on automating the activities from the test cases generation to the test execution. Contrary to those approaches, we study automatic approaches for test monitoring activities. For this, we identify the research issues that should be solved to automate test monitoring activities. Next, with those solutions, we suggest the construction method for an automatic framework for test monitoring.

  • We describe a comparative analysis of different tools used to assess safety-critical software used in nuclear power plants. To enhance the credibility of safety assessments and to optimize safety justification costs, $Electricit{\acute{e}}$ de France (EDF) investigates the use of methods and tools for source code semantic analysis, to obtain indisputable evidence and help assessors focus on the most critical issues. EDF has been using the PolySpace tool for more than 10 years. Currently, new industrial tools based on the same formal approach, Abstract Interpretation, are available. Practical experimentation with these new tools shows that the precision obtained on one of our shutdown systems software packages is substantially improved. In the first part of this article, we present the analysis principles of the tools used in our experimentation. In the second part, we present the main characteristics of protection-system software, and why these characteristics are well adapted for the new analysis tools. In the last part, we present an overview of the results and the limitations of the tools.

  • This work summarizes the current state of the art in software radio for 4G systems. Specifically, this work demonstrates that classic radio structures, e.g., heterodyne reception, homodyne reception, and their improved implementations, are inadequate selections for multi-mode reception. This opens the door to software defined radio, a novel reception architecture which promises ease in multi-band, multi-protocol design. The work presents the many advantages of such an architecture, including flexibility, reduced cost via component reduction, and improved reliability via, e.g., the elimination of environmental instability. The work also explains the limitations that currently curtail the widespread use of SDR, including issues surrounding A/D converters, management of software and power, and clock generation. This provides direction for future research to enable the broad applicability of SDR in 4G cellular and beyond.

  • Site characterization for structural stability in rock masses mainly involves the collection of joint property data, and in the current practice, much of this data is collected by hand directly at exposed slopes and outcrops. There are many issues with the collection of this data in the field, including issues of safety, slope access, field time, lack of data quantity, reusability of data and human bias. It is shown that information on joint orientation, spacing and roughness in rock masses, can be automatically extracted from LIDAR (light detection and ranging) point floods using the currently available Split-FX point cloud processing software, thereby reducing processing time, safety and human bias issues.

  • Currently, IoT mobile applications are growing fast in number and complexity. As a result, the applications quality issue became crucial, hence to ensure their quality a proper testing is highly required. Testing such mobile applications is always tedious, time-consuming and expensive. To cope with these issues, we propose a testing approach using activity diagram with data flow information. The main functionality of IoT applications is exposing the meaningful data obtained from the sensors to the users by doing a lot of analysis, comparison, and computation. Therefore, our focus is on identifying and selecting the most appropriate paths at which calculation is taking place and the paths at which predicate exists. In our case study, we have used a real-world IoT mobile application and identified a total of ten test paths with two predicate uses and two computation uses through an example. With applying only this four critical paths, we can adequately test the application's core functionalities while significantly reduce the testing effort and cost.
