For efficiency reasons, the software system designers will is to use an integrated set of methods and tools to describe specifications and designs, and also to perform analyses such as dependability, schedulability and performance. AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language) has proved to be efficient for software architecture modeling. In addition, AADL was designed to accommodate several types of analyses. This paper presents an iterative dependency-driven approach for dependability modeling using AADL. It is illustrated on a small example. This approach is part of a complete framework that allows the generation of dependability analysis and evaluation models from AADL models to support the analysis of software and system architectures, in critical application domains.

Performing dependability evaluation along with other analyses at architectural level allows both making architectural tradeoffs and predicting the effects of architectural decisions on the dependability of an application. This paper gives guidelines
for building architectural dependability models for software systems using the AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language). It presents reusable modeling patterns for fault-tolerant applications and shows how the presented patterns can be used in the context of a subsystem of a real-life application.
We present a hierarchical simulation approach for the dependability analysis and evaluation of a highly available commercial cache-based RAID storage system. The archi-tecture is complex and includes several layers of overlap-ping error detection and
recovery mechanisms. Three ab-straction levels have been developed to model the cache architecture, cache operations, and error detection and recovery mechanism. The impact of faults and errors oc-curring in the cache and in the disks is analyzed at each level of the hierarchy. A simulation submodel is associated with each abstraction level. The models have been devel-oped using DEPEND, a simulation-based environment for system-level dependability analysis, which provides facili-ties to inject faults into a functional behavior model, to simulate error detection and recovery mechanisms, and to evaluate quantitative measures. Several fault models are defined for each submodel to simulate cache component failures, disk failures, transmission errors, and data errors in the cache memory and in the disks. Some of the parame-ters characterizing fault injection in a given submodel cor-respond to probabilities evaluated from the simulation of the lower-level submodel. Based on the proposed method-ology, we evaluate and analyze 1) the system behavior un-der a real workload and high error rate (focusing on error bursts), 2) the coverage of the error detection mechanisms implemented in the system and the error latency distribu-tions, and 3) the accumulation of errors in the cache and in the disks.
Performance modeling of parallel applications on multicore computers remains a challenge in computational co-design due to the complex design of multicore processors including private and shared memory hierarchies. We present a Scalable Analytical Sh
ared Memory Model to predict the performance of parallel applications that runs on a multicore computer and shares the same level of cache in the hierarchy. This model uses a computationally efficient, probabilistic method to predict the reuse distance profiles, where reuse distance is a hardware architecture-independent measure of the patterns of virtual memory accesses. It relies on a stochastic, static basic block-level analysis of reuse profiles measured from the memory traces of applications ran sequentially on small instances rather than using a multi-threaded trace. The results indicate that the hit-rate predictions on the shared cache are accurate.
Periodic control systems used in spacecrafts and automotives are usually period-driven and can be decomposed into different modes with each mode representing a system state observed from outside. Such systems may also involve intensive computing in t
heir modes. Despite the fact that such control systems are widely used in the above-mentioned safety-critical embedded domains, there is lack of domain-specific formal modelling languages for such systems in the relevant industry. To address this problem, we propose a formal visual modeling framework called mode diagram as a concise and precise way to specify and analyze such systems. To capture the temporal properties of periodic control systems, we provide, along with mode diagram, a property specification language based on interval logic for the description of concrete temporal requirements the engineers are concerned with. The statistical model checking technique can then be used to verify the mode diagram models against desired properties. To demonstrate the viability of our approach, we have applied our modelling framework to some real life case studies from industry and helped detect two design defects for some spacecraft control systems.
Massive amounts of multimedia data (i.e., text, audio, video, graphics and animation) are being generated everyday. Conventionally, multimedia data are managed by the platforms maintained by multimedia service providers, which are generally designed
using centralised architecture. However, such centralised architecture may lead to a single point of failure and disputes over royalties or other rights. It is hard to ensure the data integrity and track fulfilment of obligations listed on the copyright agreement. To tackle these issues, in this paper, we present a blockchain-based platform architecture for multimedia data management. We adopt self-sovereign identity for identity management and design a multi-level capability-based mechanism for access control. We implement a proof-of-concept prototype using the proposed approach and evaluate it using a use case. The results show that the proposed approach is feasible and has scalable performance.
