Requirements are commonly vague and ambiguous. In this paper, we describe an automated Inconsistency Checker called MaramaAI for checking for high-level inconsistency between textual requirements, abstract interactions and Essential Use Cases. We use concepts of phrase extraction and essential interaction patterns to carry out these checks. We provide further support for checking of requirements quality attributes such as completeness and correctness using visual differencing.

This paper discusses signal integrity (SI) issues and signalling techniques for Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects in 3-D Integrated Circuits (ICs). Field-solver extracted parasitics of TSVs have been employed in Spice simulations to investigate the effect of each parasitic component on performance metrics such as delay and crosstalk and identify a reduced-order electrical model that captures all relevant effects. We show that in dense TSV structures voltage-mode (VM) signalling does not lend itself to achieving high data-rates, and that current-mode (CM) signalling is more effective for high throughput signalling as well as jitter reduction. Data rates, energy consumption and coupled noise for the different signalling modes are extracted.

There is a need to address the significant gap in our ability to measure and monitor the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across service networks. The unprecedented growth in service-based business processes over a short period of time has underscored the need for understanding the mechanisms and theorising the business models and business process management adopted across many organisations today. This research presents a survey of the literature and argues that the inability of current Business Process Management (BPM) techniques to visualise and monitor web-enabled business processes prevents us from transforming information on network activity and infrastructures. This inhibits managers in anticipating change and adapting to more agile business practices in service science. Thus, this research-in-progress sets out to propose the need to develop a framework to enhance a manager's ability to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) while improving business process restructuring practices through social network analysis (SNA).

Improving energy efficiency of mass storage systems has become an important and pressing research issue in large HPC centers and data centers. New energy conservation techniques in storage systems constantly spring up; however, there is a lack of systematic and uniform way of accurately evaluating energy-efficient storage systems and objectively comparing a wide range of energy-saving techniques. This research presents a new integrated scheme, called TRACER, for evaluating energy-efficiency of mass storage systems and judging energy-saving techniques. The TRACER scheme consists of a toolkit used to measure energy efficiency of storage systems as well as performance and energy metrics. In addition, TRACER contains a novel and accurate workload-control module to acquire power varying with workload modes and I/O load intensity. The workload generator in TRACER facilitates a block-level trace replay mechanism. The main goal of the workload-control module is to select a certain percentage (e.g., anywhere from 10% to 100%) of trace entries from a real-world I/O trace file uniformly and to replay filtered trace entries to reach any level of I/O load intensity. TRACER is experimentally validated on a general RAID5 enterprise disk array. Our experiments demonstrate that energy-efficient mass storage systems can be accurately evaluated on full scales by TRACER. We applied TRACER to investigate impacts of workload modes and load intensity on energy-efficiency of storage devices. This work shows that TRACER can enable storage system developers to evaluate energy efficiency designs for storage systems.

In this paper, a new cost and space efficient solution to unbalanced assignment problems is presented. The new solution uses linear space complexity instead of polynomial complexity as used by the Hungarian method. Moreover, its optimal cost is lower than of the Kumar method - an existing linear space complexity solution to unbalanced assignment problems.

The design and deployment of efficient vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications systems require the knowledge of the propagation channel in which it will operate. Due to the mobility of the transmitter/receiver terminals as well as the existence of dynamic scatterers, the V2V channel is nonstationary. To account for the nonstationarity, channel characterization methods that employs the non wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (non-WSSUS) approach are often desired. More also the inadequacy of the Doppler shift operator to properly account for frequency variation effects by the wideband channel operator implies that the time-frequency characterization methods that employ the Doppler shift operator are not appropriate for wideband V2V channels. In this paper we present the time-scale domain characterization of the non-WSSUS channel which employs time scaling operator to account for frequency variation and also emphasizes on the non-stationary property of the channel. The non-WSSUS statistical property termed local sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (LSSUS) is employed. The effect of the channel nonstationarity on the channel capacity is also addressed. From the simulated example, it is inferred that the assumption of ergodic capacity depend on the number of available independent fades which invariably depend on the degree of the V2V channel nonstationarity.

Testing-as-a-service (TaaS) is a new model to provide testing capabilities to end users. Users save the cost of complicated maintenance and upgrade effort, and service providers can upgrade their services without impact on the end-users. Due to uneven volumes of concurrent requests, it is important to address the elasticity of TaaS platform in a cloud environment. Scheduling and dispatching algorithms are developed to improve the utilization of computing resources. We develop a prototype of TaaS over cloud, and evaluate the scalability of the platform by increasing the test task load;analyze the distribution of computing time on test task scheduling and test task processing over the cloud;and examine the performance of proposed algorithms by comparing others.
