  • Pattern-Based Architecture Reviews

    In this IEEE article, authors Neil Harrison and Paris Avgeriou discuss a pattern-based architecture review (PBAR) process to help with system-wide quality attributes. They also discuss how PBAR approach helps with agile practices like frequent releases, changes for user needs, and lightweight documentation. They illustrate the benefits of PBAR process with a real-world project.

  • Comparison of Intrusion Tolerant System Architectures

    In this IEEE article, authors Quyen L. Nguyen and Arun Sood discuss three types of intrusion tolerant system (ITS) architectures and their efficiency for intrusion tolerance and survivability. For the ITS architectures, they propose a taxonomy with four categories: detection triggered, algorithm driven, recovery based, and hybrid.

  • Mobile Attacks and Defense

    In this IEEE article, author Charlie Miller talks about the mobile security vulnerabilities. He explains how smart phones are becoming targets of attackers and discusses security models of two smart phone operating systems: Apple's iOS and Google's Android. The attackers can get remote code to run on a mobile device in two ways: mobile malware and drive-by downloads.
