▼ Il controllo delle velocità rappresenta un importante strategia per il miglioramento della sicurezza stradale, in considerazione della stretta relazione tra velocità e severità degli incidenti.
Lo strumento principale per il controllo della velocità è rappresentato dall imposizione di limiti.
La definizione del limite di velocità più corretto però non è una problematica di facile risoluzione, poiché entrano in gioco numerosi fattori in contrasto gli uni con gli altri: chi ha il compito di fissare tali limiti deve, infatti, cercare di bilanciare la sicurezza degli utenti della strada, i tempi di percorrenza, oltre a tutti gli altri fattori che determinano la scelta della velocità (come le caratteristiche dell infrastruttura), considerando altresì l applicabilità e la credibilità dei limiti stessi.
Al momento non esiste una metodologia generalmente accettata che consenta di individuare il limite di velocità più appropriato per un determinato tronco stradale tenendo conto contemporaneamente di tutti questi fattori.
Obiettivo del presente lavoro è stato quello di sviluppare un Sistema di Supporto alle Decisioni che aiuti il decisore a definire limiti di velocità sicuri e credibili da adottare in zone particolari del tracciato, tenendo conto di numerosi fattori quali le caratteristiche geometriche, il tasso d incidentalità, le condizioni di traffico ed ambientali, etc
Il Sistema messo a punto si basa su un analisi di tipo multi-criteriale mediante il Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) che, sulla base delle informazioni necessarie alla determinazione delle decisioni esemplari date da un gruppo di esperti, consentirà la costruzione di un modello decisionale di facile comprensione, espresso mediante regole decisionali del tipo se allora .
Il Sistema di Supporto alle Decisioni presentato in questa sede, è stato sviluppato prendendo in considerazione un unica tipologia di strade, ossia le strade extraurbane secondarie (strade statali o provinciali), ma può essere facilmente modificato ed adattato alle esigenze del gestore o ai dati disponibili, sia in termini di attributi descrittivi che concorrono alla determinazione del limite di velocità, che in termini di obiettivi da perseguire (e dunque in termini di decisioni prese da differenti tipologie di esperti ).
In particolare nel presente lavoro di tesi, oltre ad un applicazione per la determinazione di limiti di velocità di tipo statico, viene mostrata un applicazione per la determinazione di limiti di velocità di tipo dinamico da utilizzare in sistemi ITS o ISA - e per la determinazione di limiti di velocità definiti da differenti decisori.

▼ Rivers and their ecosystems are a vital core of human societies: not only do they provide resources, in particular for rural economies, they also generate symbolic meanings in different cultures around the world. The Dissertation focuses on how watershed planning and management can be enhanced with the purpose of improving the relationship of human communities and natural ecosystems. This work is located within the growing debate, in the field of environmental planning, focused on the necessity to integrate scientific knowledge with a broader understanding of how social-ecological system works (Gunderson and Hollings 2001) and how communities use various types of knowledge to innovate the way they relate with natural resources; (Ostrom 2009, Fischer 2009). Two detailed cases are presented: the Mississippi communities relating with the Delta-Yazoo River basin and Pascuagoula River basin, MS, U.S.A.; the Simeto communities relating with the Simeto River Valley, Sicily, Italy. In both cases, innovating watershed planning through stakeholders collaboration faces significant difficulties, related with long-term socio-cultural struggles. Mississippi is explored through Case Study Research; the inquiry identifies the necessity of questioning bottom-up and collaborative practices in the light of reflections about dynamics of power; research also shows that even in a very challenging context there are windows of opportunities; in this case, various stakeholders agree on the necessity of improving various forms of education, integrating environmental and social-cultural issues. The Mississippi case highlights a clear indication, for planning discipline, to bridge the traditional divide between scientific environmental knowledge and the problem of democracy. The Simeto case is a narrative of the direct engagement of the author in a Participatory Action Research (PAR) process, which was generated with questions about the need of linking environmental restoration with social-cultural and democratic innovations, so that the Mississippi conclusions are the starting point of the Simeto narrative. According with the nature of PAR methodology, in which knowledge is collectively produced and continuously reshaped through action, the narrative shows how the Simeto community has learned through a democratic approach to research, in order to innovate watershed planning, to promote the democratic dialogue and to affect institutions. From a methodological standpoint, the Dissertation discusses how Case Study Research relates with Participatory Action Research. The Dissertation offers various details on practical devices, mostly related to the need of facing challenges and changes through a process of collective re-framing and through community-based education, not only to enhance the health of river s ecosystem, but also to improve communities quality of life.

▼ Urban pluvial flooding is stressing urban areas with increasing frequency, becoming a factor of great concern. Soil sealing resulting from urban development is one of the main reasons for changes in natural hydrological processes and related recurring failures of urban drainage systems, especially during heavy rainfall events. Today, several studies are looking at the concept of urban resilience as a new paradigm, for a better integration of issues of water and flood risk with urban planning. Resilience is viewed as a way to tackle risk, showing bonds with its different sections, among which the flood hazard. It is broadly agreed that spatial planning, by incorporating Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) within tools and polices, helps to build urban flood resilience. In particular, SuDS, as alternative strategy for surface water management, could potentially address anthropogenically generated hazard, thanks to the water-flow regulating service and benefits they provide. This research explores the relationship between the risk of urban pluvial flooding, resilience and urban planning. Particularly, the concept of resilience is clarified in order to highlight how it contributes to both analyse urban systems by adding levels of knowledge, and steer planning and policy approaches towards the mitigation of pluvial flood risk. By applying a research methodology based on the use of EPA-Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), the main aim of the thesis was to define a proper methodology and to build-up an analytical tool in order to analyse and assess the urban system s response to rainfall events, and to be used during and for purposes of the planning process. The proposed methodology is open to be flexibly applied to aptly handle the previous issues. Accordingly, the purpose was twofold: to assess the impact of masterplan in terms of increase of flow peak releases from urban catchments concerned by planned urban developments; to examine the urban system s reaction to rainfall and to evaluate how the response is affected by SuDS implementation at the catchment level. Case study areas were selected in the cities of Catania and Avola, in Sicily, for which masterplans design has been recently proposed by local planning authorities. Simulation of scenarios were carried out for a number of design storm events of selected return periods. Input parameters for the modelling were derived from urban analyses and hydrologic analyses and processing. Firstly, the methodology was based on the comparison between pre- and post-development catchment release scenarios and was applied to a case study catchment in the southern part of Catania. The study showed the need of careful consideration of the hydraulic invariance principle in land use planning practices. In particular, a set of flow release restrictions were determined for new areas of development, achieving the condition of unvaried flow peaks at the sub-catchment level, for different return periods of the storm-water event. Secondly, the methodology was applied to selected urban…

▼ I sistemi di gestione dei ponti sono essenziali per l'ottimizzazione delle risorse disponibili. La priorità delle attività manutentive e la valutazione delle diverse strategie di manutenzione sono solitamente basate sulla definizione di indici di condizione. Nel presente tesi viene sviluppato un sistema di supporto alle decisioni per la manutenzione dei ponti a livello di rete, basato sulla teoria del Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA). Il DRSA produce un modello decisionale espresso in termini di regole facilmente comprensibili "se...allora..."che controllano il processo decisionale ed evitano l'effetto "scatola nera" di altri sistemi alternativi.
Nel sistema di supporto decisionale proposto, i ponti sono descritti da una serie di 16 criteri relativi allo stato di degrado del ponte, alle caratteristiche della struttura, del territorio,del traffico e della rete. Per illustrare il sistema è stato proposto un caso di studio che coinvolge alcuni ponti sulle strade italiane. Il metodo proposto è uno strumento flessibile, i cui parametri possono essere periodicamente aggiornati in conseguenza delle politiche dell'ente gestore e della pratica acquisita.

▼ First of all, the main focus of this study is the design and development (installation, implementation and calibration) of a traffic monitoring, estimating and short-term forecasting system, through the integration of real-time traffic data in a dynamic simulation model. The proposed methodology allows the identification of the conceptual model that represents the basis of the system's architecture, in order to define a set of required services, functional relationships and specific characteristics identified from the stakeholders needs, which will be involved by this system.
The described methodology is applied to the urban area of Catania (Italy) through the implementation of a traffic monitoring, estimation and forecasting system, equipped with radar sensor and a central control station for traffic data elaborations.
By using obtained data from the implemented simulation model, two further methodologies are presented in this thesis. The first methodology is based on the development of a detailed statistical analysis procedure for reliability assessment of data coming from traffic monitoring systems and simulation models. The second methodology develops a statistical approach for capturing the variability of travel time reliability (TTR) in an extended traffic network, incorporating travel time analysis in order to evaluate their variation and to define the workability of the transport network.
To conclude, the final aim of this work is to increase the knowledge of the actual dynamic of road traffic in urban areas, to monitor the reliability of the transport system and to obtain useful data and information that can contribute to the implementation of an optimal control of mobility system, through a more efficient and integrated use of the road infrastructure and the available devices on it.

▼ Biomimicry comes from
bios, life, and
mimesis, to imitate. Biomimicry is becoming an increasingly well-known topic in the field of
architecture, imitating nature’s designs and processes to solve human problems. This project uses the oak tree as a model, measure, and mentor to derive sustainable
architecture. Biomimicry is examined as a holistic methodology with six steps: identify, interpret, discover, abstract, emulate, and evaluate. Using this methodology, this project investigates oak tree’s closed-loop
systems including water, oxygen, and food. The synergies that exist within these
systems are emulated to develop a complex green infrastructure of building and landscape
systems. This project provides an illustrated process using the biomimicry methodology to generate sustainable
architecture.

A utilização dos Sistemas de Informação/Tecnologia de Informação (SI/TI) passou a ser vista como uma das principais ferramentas de auxílio à gestão de topo, para melhor conduzirem as organizações e, assim, obterem vantagens competitivas. Face a isto, as Instituições de Ensino Superior, em muitas partes do mundo, aproveitam estes SI/TI para melhorar os seus processos educativos e administrativos e, assim, torná-los eficientes e eficazes. O aumento das Instituições de Ensino Superior em Angola e a procura do acesso a um curso de Ensino Superior, fez com que os gestores de topo recorressem a estes SI/TI, para melhor gerirem
as suas Instituições, tanto no aspeto académico como administrativo. O uso dos SI/TI na Educação evoluiu muito nos últimos anos, mas a sua presença é mais notória no âmbito académico, como apoio didático, como instrumento nas atividades de ensinoaprendizagem, em especial na Educação à Distância. No âmbito da gestão das Instituições de Ensino Superior, os SI/TI evoluíram de um mercado comercial e industrial, sofrendo assim com problemas de adaptação, pois estes não foram criados originalmente para este mercado. O presente projeto tem como finalidade o planeamento da adoção de um sistema de informação de gestão académica numa perspetiva de desenvolvimento de um segmento de arquitetura de empresa no Instituto Superior Politécnico do Kwanza Sul/Angola, tendo seguido as seguintes fases: Iniciação, Definição de Benefícios, Arquitetura de Negócio, Arquitetura de Dados, Arquitetura da Aplicação, Arquitetura Tecnológica e o Plano de Construção, realizadas com vista a responder a esse objetivo. O presente projeto aponta para que a implementação do mesmo no Instituto Superior Politécnico do Kwanza Sul/Angola seja uma mais-valia para o Instituto, suportando a sua estratégia de desenvolvimento, trazendo em particular os seguintes benefícios: melhores indicadores para o planeamento estratégico, melhor tomada de decisão dia-a-dia, melhor controlo e supervisão e redução da carga administrativa.

▼ With the advent of technology in recent years, people depend more on online reviews to purchase a product. It is hard to determine whether the product is good or bad from hundreds of mixed reviews. Also, it is very time-consuming to read many reviews. So, opinion mining of reviews is necessary.
The main aim of this project is to convert the reviews of a product into a rating and to evaluate the ratings using machine learning algorithms such as Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine. In the process of converting the reviews to a rating, score words are created using SentiWordNet and transformed into seven categories from highly positive to highly negative.

▼ Modern mobile platforms are embracing not only heterogeneous but also loosely coupled computational resources. For instance, a smartphone usually incorporates multiple processor cores that have no hardware cache coherence. Loosely coupled resources allow a high degree of resource heterogeneity that can greatly improve system energy efficiency for a wide range of mobile workloads.
However, loosely coupled resources create application programming difficulty: both resources and program state are distributed, which call for explicit communication for consistency. This difficulty is further exacerbated by the large numbers of mobile developers and mobile applications.
In order to ease application programming over loosely coupled resources, in this thesis work we explore system support – at both user level and OS level – that bridges desirable programming abstractions with the underlying hardware. We study three loosely coupled architectures widely seen in mobile computing: i) a smartphone accompanied by wearable sensors, ii) a mobile device encompassing multiple processors that share no memory, and iii) a mobile System-on-Chip (SoC) with multiple cores sharing incoherent memory.
In order to address the three architectures, this thesis contributes three closely related research projects. In project Dandelion, we propose a Remote Method Invocation scheme to hide communication details from application components that are synchronizing over wireless links. In project Reflex, we design an energy-efficient software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) to automatically keep user state consistent; the DSM always employs a low-power processor to host shared memory objects in order to maximize sleep periods of high-power processors. In project K2, we identify and apply a shared-most OS model to construct a single OS image over loosely coupled processor cores. Following the shared-most model, high-level OS services (e.g., device drivers and file
systems) are mostly unmodified with their state transparently kept consistent; low-level OS services (e.g., page allocator) are implemented as separate instances with independent state for the sake of minimum communication overhead.
We report the research prototypes, our experiences in building them, and the experimental measurements. We discuss future directions, in particular how our principles in treating loosely coupled resources can be used for improving other key system aspects, such as scalability.

Agent-Based and System Dynamics Hybrid Modeling and Simulation Approach Using Systems Modeling Language.

▼ Agent-based (AB) and system dynamics (SD) modeling and simulation techniques have been studied and used by various research fields. After the new hybrid modeling field emerged, the combination of these techniques started getting attention in the late 1990's. Applications of using agent-based (AB) and system dynamics (SD) hybrid models for simulating
systems have been demonstrated in the literature. However, majority of the work on the domain includes system specific approaches where the models from two techniques are integrated after being independently developed. Existing work on creating an implicit and universal approach is limited to conceptual modeling and structure design.
This dissertation proposes an approach for generating AB-SD hybrid models of
systems by using
Systems Modeling Language (SysML) which can be simulated without exporting to another software platform. Although the approach is demonstrated using IBM's Rational Rhapsody it is applicable to all other SysML platforms. Furthermore, it does not require prior knowledge on agent-based or system dynamics modeling and simulation techniques and limits the use of any programming languages through the use of SysML diagram tools. The iterative modeling approach allows two-step validations, allows establishing a two-way dynamic communication between AB and SD variables and develops independent behavior models that can be reused in representing different
systems. The proposed approach is demonstrated using a hypothetical population, movie theater and a real–world training management scenarios. In this setting, the work provides methods for independent behavior and system structure modeling. Finally, provides behavior models for probabilistic behavior modeling and time synchronization.

A Dynamic Fault Tolerance Model for Microservices Architecture.

▼ Microservices
architecture is popular for its distributive system styles due to the independent character of each of the services in the
architecture. Microservices are built to be single and each service has its running process and interconnecting with a lightweight mechanism that called application programming interface (API). The interaction through microservices needs to communicate internally. Microservices are a service that is likely to become unreachable to its consumers because, in any distributed setup, communication will fail on occasions due to the number of messages passing between services. Failures can occur when the networks are unreliable, and thus the connections can be latent which may lead to failure or slow response. This might be a problem for synchronous remote calls actively waiting for a response. If they do not use a proper timeout mechanism, they may end up waiting for an extended amount of time. Applications usually set a timeout for all remote calls to avoid hanging of the whole application due to network failure or component failure. However, this timeout needs to be set carefully to make the system or microservice application to work as required. This would prevent further problems because if a remote call is waiting too long for a reply, it can slow down the system in its entirety, and if a connection timeout is extremely fast, it may ignore a response that is sent after timeout. This thesis proposes a dynamic fault tolerance (DFTM) Model to improve the stability and resilience of the microservices
architecture. The Model is designed using a two-states Circuit Breaker called Switch Circuit Breaker with Markov-Chain. In addition, a modified Circuit Breaker (three states – open, closed, and half-open) to Switch Circuit Breaker (two states – open and closed) is presented here. The Circuit Breaker uses timeout to detect fault but timeouts usage hinges on assumptions about the real-time behavior of the system and awaiting process can be deduced from the occurrence of a timeout that a failure has occurred. Therefore, DFTM model adopted Markov Chain based model to detect fault without a timeout. Then, it sends the fault directly to Switch Circuit Breaker that uses a 2-states to cover the faults. An important finding is that the DFTM model presents a solution to the problem of transient failures or faults in the interservice communication of microservices
architecture. Also, it improves the performance and reliability of microservices
architecture.

▼ Emerging safety-critical systems require high-performance data-parallel architectures and, problematically, ones that can guarantee tight and safe worst-case execution times. Given the complexity of existing architectures like GPUs, it is unlikely that sufficiently accurate models and algorithms for timing analysis will emerge in the foreseeable future. This motivates a clean-slate approach to designing a real-time data-parallel architecture. In this work I present Sim-D: a wide-SIMD architecture for hard real-time systems. Similar to GPUs, Sim-D performs hardware strip-mining to schedule the work for a compute kernel in entities called work-groups. Sim-D schedules the work for each work-group as a sequence of uninterruptible access- and execute program phases, interleaving the phases of two work-groups. By providing performance isolation between the memory- and compute resources, the execution time of each phase can be tightly bound through static analysis. I present a predictable closed-page DRAM controller that processes requests for large 1D- and 2D blocks of data, as well as indirect indexed transfers. These large transfers coalesce the data requests of a whole work-group. For a linear 4KiB transfer over a 64-bit data bus, the utilisation provably exceeds 78% for DDR4-3200AA DRAM. For 2D blocks, a well-chosen tiling configuration can achieve near-similar efficiency. I show that bounds on the execution time of indexed transfers are pessimistic by nature, but propose a novel snoopy indexed transfer mechanism that permits more reasonable bounds when the buffer size is limited. Finally, I present a worst-case execution time calculation algorithm for Sim-D. This algorithm is paired with two hardware work-group scheduling policies that deterministically reduce run-time variance. The worst-case execution time analysis algorithm combines static control flow analysis with a simulation-based cost model for execution and DRAM transfers. Its key novelty is the addition of a stage that considers work-group scheduling effects. I show that the work-group scheduling policies degrade performance on average by 8.9%, but permit the calculation of worst-case execution time bounds that are tight within 14.3% on average for benchmarks that avoid inefficient indexed transfers.

Developing Enterprise Architectures to Address the Enterprise Dilemma of Deciding What Should Be Sustained Versus What Should Be Changed

▼ Enterprise
architecture is a relatively new concept that arose in the latter half of the
twentieth century as a means of managing the information technology resources within
the enterprise. Borrowing from the disciplines of brick and mortar
architecture, software
engineering, software
architecture, and
systems engineering, the enterprise
architecture
discipline struggles to define itself and demonstrate that it is a worthwhile endeavor that
is capable of producing measurable benefits for the enterprise.
Studies continue to show that most large IT projects are laborious struggles that are
perpetually overdue, over-budget and deliver functionality that consistently under
performs what was intended. Enterprise
architecture is supposed to help lead to order out
of the chaos, but the current success rate does not appear to be appreciably higher than it
was before enterprise
architecture was widely employed.
The key to developing a successful enterprise
architecture lies in making it more
beneficial as well as less costly. This requires not only knowing how enterprise
architecture should be developed, but also knowing what obstacles lay in the path of
success. There are many reasons why an enterprise
architecture effort can fail, but there
are three challenges in particular that obstruct enterprise
architecture efforts greatly.
These challenges are wicked problems, complexity, and the enterprise learning curve.
The goal of this research has been to discover strategies that can help attenuate the
difficulties that result from wicked problems, complexity, and the enterprise learning
curve and also to improve the chances of developing an enterprise
architecture that
delivers a positive return on investment for the enterprise. Towards this goal, this
research makes the following contributions:
• It establishes the focus and scope of enterprise
architecture by defining the bounds
of what enterprise
architecture should address.
• It develops a core set of enterprise business questions from which to begin
enterprise
architecture development.
• It develops an enterprise
architecture metamodel named the Maintain
Accountability, Produce Product, and Manage Resources enterprise
architecture
metamodel that supports enterprise
architecture metamodel development.
• It develops a methodology that aids the enterprise architect in focusing the
development effort on obtaining significant value while reducing the risk of
expending resources developing architectural artifacts of little or no value.
• It develops an enterprise
architecture case study framework that extends both the
Freidman-Sage and Martin case study frameworks for
systems engineering case
study research, and provides an enterprise
architecture case study framework that
shares a common basis for evaluating enterprise
architecture case studies in the
same conceptual framework as prior system engineering case study research.

▼ This study was conducted to investigate the effect of smart parking systems (SPS) on parking search times (PST) in large parking lots. SPSs are systems that disseminate real-time parking spot availability to drivers searching for parking. The literature review revealed discrete event simulation (DES) to be a suitable tool for studying the dynamic behavior in parking lots. The parking lot selected for data collection was a university parking lot with 234 spaces. The data collected included arrival rates, departure rates, the geometric properties of the parking lot, preferred parking search strategies, and driving speeds. Arena 13.9, by Rockwell Automation, Inc, was selected as the modeling software. The base model was built from observed parking search strategies (PSS) of drivers. The model was validated using a t-test for independent samples to compare the PSTs of the base model and actual parking lot. Once the base model was verified and validated, the logic was altered to reflect (PSS) (IV) with real-time parking availability (i.e. simulating the presence of an SPS). The PSTs (DV) for the base and experimental models were compared using a t-test for independent samples. It was found that SPSs reduce PSTs by an average of 11 seconds. This shows great potential for a multi-lot SPS that might save a larger amount of time and harmful vehicle emissions.

Longe está o tempo em que os Munícipes se deslocavam à Câmara Municipal para entregar, consultar ou simplesmente levantar um processo. Hoje, também pelas necessidades legais, eles exigem ter acesso à informação de uma forma mais rápida e eficaz.
A Administração Pública Local enfrenta pois um desafio no âmbito da modernização administrativa, procurando estimular a aproximação dos Munícipes à Autarquia e, ao mesmo tempo, promover a desmaterialização dos processos.
Este trabalho surgiu da necessidade denotada por estas mudanças, pelo que se propôs um estudo com a finalidade de encontrar uma arquitectura de informação adequada para a Secção de Obras Particulares do Município.
A arquitectura de Informação desempenha um papel importante na função dos Sistemas de Informação, uma vez que permite manter uma visão global dos seus vários aspectos.
Para atingir o objectivo proposto foi aplicado o método BSP da IBM com a sua adaptação por Luís Amaral e João Varajão, na sua versão de 2007, ao estudo do caso da Secção de Obras Particulares do Município de Penacova.
Foi assim elaborada e concebida a arquitectura da informação para a Secção de Obras Particulares do Município de Penacova, sendo definidos oito grupos de processos (Administração, Atendimento, Saneamento processo, Licenciamento, Alvarás, Acompanhamento Obra, Licença Utilização e Arquivo). Na fase seguinte, foram identificados os principais problemas e definidas as prioridades e recomendações a implementar.
Todo o trabalho foi realizado com recolha de informação real e em contexto de trabalho. The time when citizens went to the City Council to deliver, consult or simply obtain a process is long since past. Today, not only due to legal requirements, they demand access to information more quickly and effectively.
The Local Public Administration is also facing a challenge under the administrative modernization and wants to bring citizens closer to the municipality, promoting at the same time the dematerialization of processes.
This work arose from the given necessity of these changes; as a result, it has been proposed a study with the aim of finding a suitable information architecture for the Private Works Section of the Municipality.
The architecture of an information system plays an important role in the function of information systems, since it enables us to keep an overview of its various aspects.
To achieve the proposed goal, it was used IBM‟s BSP method with an adaptation by Luís Amaral and John Varajão in its 2007 version of the case study of the Private Works Section of the Municipality of Penacova.
Therefore, the information architecture for the Private Works Section of the Municipality of Penacova was developed and designed, being defined eight groups of processes (Administration, Reception, Proceedings, Licensing, Permits, Work Monitoring, License for Use and…

▼ A lack of knowledge during conceptual design results in two primary challenges: overruns in cost and schedule due to frequent design changes and combinatorial explosion of alternatives due to large, discrete categorical design spaces. Due to the significant impact subsystem-level technologies have on the cost and schedule of a design, they should be considered during the conceptual design of
systems of
systems in an effort to reduce this lack of knowledge. To integrate
architecture analysis and technology evaluation at the subsystem level, several questions and hypotheses are posed during a discussion of a general concept exploration process to guide the development of a new framework. The Dynamic Rocket Equation Tool (DYREQT) and a collection of subsystem-level in-space transportation models were developed to provide a modeling and simulation environment capable of producing the necessary data for experimentation. DYREQT provides the capability to integrate user-developed subsystem models for space transportation
architecture analysis and design. Results from the experiments led to conclusions which guided the definition of the Integrated
Architecture and Technology Exploration (IntegrATE) framework. This new framework enables integrated
architecture analysis and technology evaluation at the subsystem level in an effort to increase design knowledge during the conceptual design process. IntegrATE provides flexibility such that it can be tailored to a wide range of problems. It also provides a high degree of transparency throughout to help reduce the likelihood of bias towards individual architectures or technologies. Finally, the IntegrATE framework and DYREQT were demonstrated on a notional manned Mars 2033 design study to highlight the utility of these new developments.

▼ The Digital Era is now evolving into the Intelligence Era, driven overwhelmingly by the revolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN), which opens the door for intelligent data interpretation, turning the data and information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunities, achieving game-changing outcomes spanning from image recognition, natural language processing, self-driving cars to biomedical analysis. Moreover, the emergence of deep learning accelerators and neuromorphic computing further pushes DNN computation from cloud to the edge devices for the low-latency scalable on-device neural network computing. However, such promising embedded neural network computing
systems are
subject to various technical challenges. First, performing high-accurate inference for complex DNNs requires massive amounts of computation and memory resources, causing very limited energy efficiency for existing computing platforms. Even the brain-inspired spiking neuromorphic computing
architecture which originates from the more bio-plausible spiking neural network (SNN) and relies on the occurrence frequency of a large number of electrical spikes to represent the data and perform the computation, is
subject to significant limitations on both energy efficiency and processing speed. Second, although many memristor-based DNN accelerators and emerging neuromorphic accelerators have been proposed to improve the performance-per-watt of embedded DNN computing with the highly parallelizable Processing-in-Memory (PIM)
architecture, one critical challenge faced by these memristor-based designs is their poor reliability. A DNN weight, which is represented as the memristance of a memristor cell, can be easily distorted by the inherent physical limitations of memristor devices, resulting in significant accuracy degradation. Third, DNN computing
systems are also
subject to ever-increasing security concerns. Attackers can easily fool a normally trained DNN model by exploiting the algorithmic vulnerabilities of DNN classifiers through adversary examples to mislead the inference results. Moreover, system vulnerabilities in open-sourced DNN computing frameworks such as heap overflow are increasingly exploited to either distort the inference accuracy or corrupt the learning environment. This dissertation focuses on designing efficient, reliable, and secured neural network computing
systems. An
architecture and algorithm co-design approach is presented to address the aforementioned design pillars from a system-level perspective, namely efficiency, reliability and security. Three case study examples centered around each design pillar, including Single-spike Neuromorphic Accelerator, Fault-tolerant DNN Accelerator, and Mal-DNN: Malicious DNN-powered Stegomalware, are discussed in this dissertation, offering the community an alternative thinking about developing more efficient, reliable and secure deep learning
systems.

▼ De nos jours, les systèmes embarqués sont les éléments Cœurs des Systèmes avioniques. De plus en plus de fonctions sont intégrées et de ce fait leurs complexités croît. Afin que cette complexité puisse rester maîtrisable, l’architecture des systèmes avionique a également évolué de façon à minimiser les interactions entre les équipements. Cette évolution des Architectures a introduit, au niveau avionique, la notion de réseau largement répandue dans le monde dit « consumer ». Nos travaux de Recherche ont pour but d’accompagner cette évolution architecturale en minimisant l’impact des ruptures technologiques qu’il a été nécessaire d’introduire afin de supporter cette évolution. Pour cela, nous proposons une approche qui va nous permettre de dé-risquer chaque nouvelle brique technologique avant son introduction au sein des Systèmes Embarqués. Cette introduction pourra donc être réalisée en ayant au préalable défini les conditions ainsi que les limites d’utilisation de chaque nouvelle technologie, qu’elle soit matérielle et/ou logicielle.
Nowadays, Embedded Systems are key elements of the Avionic Systems. As more and more functions are integrated, their complexity goes increasing. In order to keep mastering this complexity, Avionic Systems Architecture has also evolved so as to minimize the interactions between equipment. This evolution of the Architectures introduced, at the avionic level, the notion of network widely spread in the consumer domain. Our research works aim at accompanying this architectural evolution by minimizing the impact of the technological breakthroughs which were necessary to introduce to support this evolution. For that purpose, we propose an approach which is going to allow us to derisk every new technological brick before its introduction within the Embedded Systems. This introduction can thus be performed by having beforehand defined the conditions as well as the limits of use of every new technology that it is Hardware and/or Software.

▼ Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that human disease is developed in natural living environment, and thus we need to study in the nature, to get medicine from the nature, and to return the disease to the nature. This is the core values of Chinese medicine. To maintain Chinese peopleâs good health, Chinese medicine has been flexibly applied for thousands of years, to facilitate finding the disease and curing the host, without using precision instrument.
The study suggests that â
Architecture-Oriented Traditional Chinese Medicine Model (AOTCMM)â is an integrated model which can be used to express the perspective of multiple conceptual designing phase of Chinese medicine principle, to solve issues of the process-orientated Chinese medicine principle.
Furthermore, the study uses system model to effectively create the structure of Chinese medicine principle by the architectural approach of âstructure-behavior coalescence (SBC).â The model is flexible and able to meet the needs of Chinese medicine principle, and to systemize the research process of Chinese medicine principle, and to reduce learning cost and stay competitive.

▼ Collaborative intrusion detection system (CIDS), where IDS hosts work with each other and share resources, have been proposed to cope with the increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Despite the promising benefits such as expanded signature databases and alert data from multiple sites, trust management and consensus building remain as challenges for a CIDS to work effectively. The blockchain technology with built-in immutability and consensus building capability provides a viable solution to the issues of CIDS. In this paper, we introduce an
architecture for a blockchain-enabled signature-based collaborative IDS, discuss the implementation strategy of the proposed
architecture and developed a prototype using Hyperledger and Snort. Our preliminary evaluation on a bench mark showed the proposed
architecture offers a solution by addressing the issues of trust, data sharing and insider attacks in the network environment of CIDSs. The implications and limitations of this study are also discussed.

▼ There has been a great deal of innovation in the software space for smart phones, however, there has been virtually no room to innovate in the
architecture space. By introducing a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on mobile phone platforms, developers are able to produce hardware that their applications can use. We call re-programmable hardware on mobile phones mobware. In order to introduce mobware to mobile platforms, we leverage technology that contains a processor (ARM) coupled with FPGA so we can introduce reconfigurable logic to smart phones, expose the hardware to applications, and extend a mobile operating system to allow for software control of the current hardware configuration. There are obstacles with deploying mobware so any phone can simply download it and deploy it on their FPGA. This dynamic loading of mobware is called run-time reconfiguration (RTR). Achieving RTR of hardware requires tool support and a deployment infrastructure to efficiently implement it. We present a cloud RTR deployment model that allows for the production and distribution of mobware. The deployment models converges the phone manufacturer, the application and mobware developer, and user. With these parties converged, this allows for the sustainable production and deployment of mobware.

▼ Le bâti traditionnel dans le bassin méditerranéen, avec son riche parcours historique, reflète les nécessités socioculturelles pour lesquelles il a été construit. Les besoins environnementaux interagissent et se superposent en déterminant, en milieu urbain, des solutions typologiques et constructives récurrentes. Les solutions architecturales du bâtiment historique méditerranéen présentent des qualités formelles, structurelles et fonctionnelles remarquables et, grâce à la capacité d'adaptation au contexte climatique local, elles garantissent également un bon niveau de confort environnemental interne. De nos jours, la nécessité de réduire les consommations d’énergie dans le domaine de la construction entraîne le développement de la recherche vers des solutions innovantes qui combinent l’expérimentation sur les nouveaux matériaux et technologies, et la réappropriation des connaissances et des principes de construction de l’architecture « traditionnelle » en milieu dense. Porté par ces thématiques, étendues aux interactions entre les éléments du bâti et l’ensemble des facteurs qui participent à la détermination du confort intérieur des usagers dans les bâtiments traditionnels en région méditerranéenne, notre questionnement de base est parti des interrogations suivantes : pouvons-nous récupérer des savoir-faire techniques perdus ou oubliés pour répondre aux problématiques actuelles de réduction de consommation énergétique des bâtiments ? Comment réinterpréter certains aspects caractéristiques des bâtiments traditionnels avec les technologies et matériaux contemporains ? Quels outils de conception sont à mettre en place? Nous voulions ainsi reconstruire un modèle d'architecture traditionnelle en se concentrant sur une ville en particulier, Palerme, pour sa capacité à illustrer, à travers ses phases historiques, l'évolution d'une métropole méditerranéenne; sur tous les sous-systèmes (ville, bâtiment, composant constructif), nous retrouvons l’idée de transmission, avec des qualités implicites de permanence, d’héritage, de répétition et de durabilité. Ce choix nous permet, également, de cerner notre champ de recherche sans se perdre dans la multitude de variables possibles. En s’appuyant sur des recherches scientifiques actuelles et passées, et sur des calculs numériques réalisés, nous essaierons d’évaluer les performances énergétiques de cette architecture qui est souvent considérée comme une forme empirique d’architecture « bioclimatique ».La connaissance du comportement thermique de ce bâti représente une phase préparatoire fondamentale afin de proposer des outils de conception pour la modélisation et l’évaluation thermique de systèmes technologiques innovants, capables de réinterpréter certains aspects de l’architecture traditionnelle avec la mise en place de matériaux ou techniques contemporains
With its rich history, the traditional building in the Mediterranean Basin reflects the socio-cultural needs for which it was built: environmental needs interact and overlap, determining cyclic typological and constructive…

▼ In recent years the Run-Time-Reconfigurable (RTR) computing
systems have become the core of next generation of adaptive embedded
systems. One of the major problems in this class of
systems is run-time adaptation of their
architecture to the dynamic workload and environmental conditions. In most cases this adaptation is considered as multi-objective optimization process which should be conducted in run-time.
Therefore, the goal of this research work was to explore the existing methods of doing multi-objective optimization and analyze their applicability for a system with potential of reconfiguration (i.e. a situation when constrains of the system can change during the course of operation). Then the development of generic framework of this optimization mechanism has to be done. This required analysis and selection of proper approach for multi-objective space exploration. The methodology based on
Architecture Configuration Graph was chosen and its searching technique improved to allow faster convergence to a solution that satisfies objective constraints while optimizing specified objective. The run-time complexity analysis was done for modified methodology as well as the testing of the implemented framework to demonstrate its faster performance. The experimental results have shown the ability for run-time
architecture adaptation and further utilization of the proposed framework as a core of real-time operating
systems (RTOS) for dynamically reconfigurable computers.

▼ A number of modern digital processing
systems implement complex multi-mode applications with high performance requirements and strict operating constraints; examples include video processing and telecommunication applications. A number of these
systems use increasingly large FPGAs as the implementation medium, due to reduced development costs. The combination of increases in FPGA capacity and system complexity has lead to a non-linear increase in system implementation effort. If left unchecked, implementation effort for such
systems will reach the point where it becomes a design and development bottleneck. At the same time, the reduction in transistor size used to manufacture these devices can lead to increased device fault rates. To address these two problems, the Multi-mode Adaptive Collaborative Reconfigurable self-Organized System (MACROS) Framework and design methodology is proposed and described in this work. The MACROS Framework other the ability for run-time
architecture adaptation by integrating FPGA configuration into regular operation. The MACROS Framework allows for run-time generation of Application-Specific Processors (ASPs) through the deployment, assembly and integration
of pre-built functional units; the framework further allows the relocation of functional units without affecting system functionality. The use of functional units as building blocks allows the system to be implemented on a piece-by-piece basis, which reduces the complexity of mapping, placement and routing tasks; the ability to relocate functional units allows fault mitigation by avoiding faulty regions in a device. The proposed framework has been used to implement multiple video processing
systems which were used as verification and testing instruments. The MACROS framework was found to successfully support run-time
architecture adaptation in the form of functional unit deployment and relocation in high performance
systems. For large
systems (more than 100 functional units), the MACROS Framework implementation effort, measured as time cost, was found to be one third that of a traditional (monolithic) system; more importantly, in MACRO
Systems this time cost was found to increase linearly with system complexity (the number of functional units). When considering fault mitigation capabilities, the resource overhead associated with the MACROS Framework was found to be up to 85 % smaller than a traditional Triple Module Redundancy (TMR) solution.

▼ The last decade has seen an increased ubiquity of computers with the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets and the continued spread of embedded cyber-physical
systems. With this integration into our environments, it has become important to consider the real-world interactions of these computers rather than simply treating them as abstract computing machines. For example, cyber-physical
systems typically have real-time constraints in order to ensure safe and correct physical interactions. Similarly, even mobile and desktop
systems, which are not traditionally considered real-time
systems, are inherently time-sensitive because of their interaction with users. Traditional techniques proposed for improving hardware architectures are not designed with these real-time constraints in mind. In this thesis, we explore some of the challenges and opportunities in hardware design for real-time
systems. Specifically, we study recent techniques for improving security, reliability, and energyefficiency of computer
systems. Run-time monitoring has been shown to be a promising technique for improving system security and reliability. Applying run-time monitoring to realtime
systems introduces challenges due to the performance impact of monitoring. To address this, we first developed a technique for estimating the worstcase execution time impact of run-time monitoring, enabling it to be applied within existing real-time system design methodologies. Next, we developed hardware architectures that selectively enable and disable monitoring in order to meet real-time deadlines while still allowing a portion of the monitoring to be performed. We show architectures for hard and soft real-time
systems, with different design decisions and trade-offs for each. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is commonly found in modern processors as a way to dynamically trade off power and performance. In the presence of real-time deadlines, this presents an opportunity for improved energy-efficiency by slowing down jobs to reduce energy while still meeting deadline requirements. We developed a method for creating DVFS controllers that are able to predict the appropriate frequency level for tasks before they execute and show improved energy savings and reduced deadline misses compared to current state-of-the-art DVFS controllers.

▼ Research on computer memory
systems has been of increasing importance over the last decade, as they have become a significant bottleneck for application performance. While newer memory
systems offer increased memory level parallelism, they cannot be used blindly due to contention for shared resources, making a beneficial and valid sequencing of memory requests requisite in order to exploit these improvements. Traditional approaches to improving this sequencing rely on highly sophisticated memory
systems, where significant amounts of inference are often required to make these sophisticated decisions. Unfortunately, this design philosophy may no longer be sustainable. For example, as memory clock frequencies continue to scale while processor frequencies remain stagnant, sophisticated memory controllers are already being squeezed out, forcing computer architects to revert to simpler designs. We use this as an opportunity to symbiotically involve the processor cores in the decision-making process, simultaneously offloading the complexity from these memory decision makers while extracting richer information on each memory operation. This work studies the concept of load criticality, where the processors themselves identify the loads which they believe to be most important. Using loads that block at the end of the processor pipeline as an indicator of criticality, we annotate these load block predictions onto memory requests, for use by various components in memory. Our research finds that even using small, sim- ple predictors for load criticality can offer comparable performance to complex state-of-the-art schedulers for both parallel applications and multiprogrammed workloads on a contemporary multicore system. This same predictor can be used to obtain significant performance improvements and energy savings when using hardware prefetchers. Ultimately, our criticality-aware design approach achieves the performance of traditionally-complex memory
systems, and does so with trivial overheads that are attractive for future commercial adoption.

▼ With the thorough penetration of Internet, everyone has a dual identity in contemporary urban life. On one hand, urban survival pressure and high-density, planned forms of living consume the vitality of young generation; on the other hand, streaming videos, social media and online games establish their existence in another dimension. The Toronto School and other many media theorists have foreseen the impact of the Internet as a medium on behavior and society in the last century. Since the 1990s, architects and urban designers have begun to imagine the integration of architecture space and cyberspace. Later practices, in the name of interactive architecture, explored certain possibilities of architectural interactivity. But until today, the real revolution has not come in a larger scope. Research and design are aim to the impact of various interactive media derived from the Internet on living and how to use their interactivity to take the intelligence and delight of built environment to a new level in contemporary urban context. The results of study will be presented as a public building design, which is an urban cultural complex with the theme of interactive media, including functional spaces such as exhibitions, interactions, game events, esports, creative workshop, sales, and cafe, let visitors experience the knowledge, applications and trends of cyberculture. The choice of functions takes it into account that this theme has practical meanings for leading interactive architecture experiments. And its exterior and interior design embed cyber-physical system and show the characteristics and interactivity of the cyberspace to get the unity of theme and space experience. As a cyber dominant zone, it serves as a prototype to illustrate the possible impact of the Internet on society and lifestyle in the future.

▼ Cloud is becoming the most popular computing infrastructure because it can attract more and more traditional companies due to flexibility and cost-effectiveness. However, privacy concern is the major issue that prevents users from deploying on public clouds. My research focuses on protecting user's privacy in cloud computing. I will present a hardware-based and a migration-based approach to protect user's privacy. The root cause of the privacy problem is current cloud privilege design gives too much power to cloud providers. Once the control virtual machine (installed by cloud providers) is compromised, external adversaries will breach users’ privacy. Malicious cloud administrators are also possible to disclose user’s privacy by abusing the privilege of cloud providers. Thus, I develop two cloud architectures – MyCloud and MyCloud SEP to protect user’s privacy based on hardware virtualization technology. I eliminate the privilege of cloud providers by moving the control virtual machine (control VM) to the processor’s non-root mode and only keep the privacy protection and performance crucial components in the Trust Computing Base (TCB). In addition, the new cloud platform can provide rich functionalities on resource management and allocation without greatly increasing the TCB size. Besides the attacks to control VM, many external adversaries will compromise one guest VM or directly install a malicious guest VM, then target other legitimate guest VMs based on the connections. Thus, collocating with vulnerable virtual machines, or ”bad neighbors” on the same physical server introduces additional security risks. I develop a migration-based scenario that quantifies the security risk of each VM and generates virtual machine placement to minimize the security risks considering the connections among virtual machines. According to the experiment, our approach can improve the survivability of most VMs.
