An overview to Software Architecture in Intrusion Detection System

Today by growing network systems, security is a key feature of each network infrastructure. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) provide defense model for all security threats which are harmful to any network. The IDS could detect and block attack-related network traffic. The network control is a complex model. Implementation of an IDS could make delay in the network. Several software-based network intrusion detection systems are developed. However, the model has a problem with high speed traffic. This paper reviews of many type of software architecture in intrusion detection systems and describes the design and implementation of a high-performance network intrusion detection system that combines the use of software-based network intrusion detection sensors and a network processor board. The network processor which is a hardware-based model could acts as a customized load balancing splitter. This model cooperates with a set of modified content-based network intrusion detection sensors rather than IDS in processing network traffic and controls the high-speed.Comment: 8 Pages, International Journal of Soft Computing and Software Engineering [JSCSE]. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1101.0241 by other author

Perspectives on Design Considerations Inspired by Security and Quantum Technology in Cyberphysical Systems for Process Engineering

Advances in computer science have been a driving force for change in process systems engineering for decades. Faster computers, expanded computing resources, simulation software, and improved optimization algorithms have all changed chemical engineers’ abilities to predict, control, and optimize process systems. Two newer areas relevant to computer science that are impacting process systems engineering are cybersecurity and quantum computing. This work reviews some of our group’s recent work in control-theoretic approaches to control system cybersecurity and touches upon the use of quantum computers, with perspectives on the relationships between process design and control when cybersecurity and quantum technologies are of interest

A review of microgrid development in the United States – A decade of progress on policies, demonstrations, controls, and software tools

Microgrids have become increasingly popular in the United States. Supported by favorable federal and local policies, microgrid projects can provide greater energy stability and resilience within a project site or community. This paper reviews major federal, state, and utility-level policies driving microgrid development in the United States. Representative U.S. demonstration projects are selected and their technical characteristics and non-technical features are introduced. The paper discusses trends in the technology development of microgrid systems as well as microgrid control methods and interactions within the electricity market. Software tools for microgrid design, planning, and performance analysis are illustrated with each tool's core capability. Finally, the paper summarizes the successes and lessons learned during the recent expansion of the U.S. microgrid industry that may serve as a reference for other countries developing their own microgrid industries

Better abstractions for reusable components & architectures

Software architecture (SA) is a crucial component of Model Driven Engineering (MDE), since it eases the communication and reuse of designs and components. However, existing languages (e.g., UML, AADL, SysML) are lacking many needed features. In particular, they provide rudimentary support for connectors, a first-class element in the components and connectors (C&C) architectural view and one of the most reusable architectural elements. This is unfortunate, since the difficult properties that need to be guaranteed for complex systems are mainly the non-functional properties, like throughput, security and dependability, which are greatly influenced by the employed connectors. This work reviews the basic abstractions of the C&C view of SA and examines extra architectural elements which can support the detailed, explicit and separate description of behaviour, interaction and control logic

A Microprocessor-based multivariable interactive control system

This study outlines the various types of control systems and reviews the necessary mathematical techniques to solve the problem of multivariable interactive control. The characteristics as well as the state representation for control processes involving either p or v type canonical structures are discussed. Next, the characteristics of multivariable interactive discrete control systems are discussed in detail. The advantages of flexibility and speed of microprocessors are used as powerful tools to implement a microprocessor-based system can be employed to control discrete processes. To demonstrate a practical application of a microprocessor-based system in a multivariable interactive discrete process, the algorithm and software (Assembly Language) is developed for a special engine control system selected as the model

Firewalls Policies Based on Software Defined Networking: A survey

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) introduces granularity, visibility and flexibility to networking, which separates the control-logic from networking devices. SDN programmatically modifies the functionality and behaviour of network devices. It separates control plane and data plane, and thus provides centralized control. Though SDN provides better performance but there are some security issues that need to be taken care of. This includes firewalls, monitoring applications, IDS(Intrusion detection systems) etc. Therefore, this research work reviews the related approaches which have been proposed by identifying their firewall scope, their practicability, their advantages and drawbacks related with SDN. This paper describes the firewall policies as the forth new security challenges.Keywords: Software defined networking, Architecture, OpenFlow, Firewalls, Anomaly detectio

ADA: A NEW PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

In an attempt to control defense software costs while maintaining system reliability, the DOD (Department of Defense) has sponsored the development of a new programming language, called Ada. While Ada supports many of the features found in Fortran and Pascal, it has additional features making it easier and more reliable to use in large complex engineering software systems. Currently, the DOD is requiring that many new defense software systems be written in Ada. The author reviews the history of Ada\u27s development and examines the primary constructs of the language. The philosophy behind Ada program design is reviewed by designing and coding a simple program to add two matrices. Ada\u27s future prospects are examined as related to both defense and nondefense applications

Control system integration

This lecture begins with a definition of an accelerator control system, and then reviews the control system architectures that have been deployed at the larger accelerator facilities. This discussion naturally leads to identification of the major subsystems and their interfaces. We shall explore general strategies for integrating intelligent devices and signal processing subsystems based on gate arrays and programmable DSPs. The following topics will also be covered: physical packaging; timing and synchronization; local and global communication technologies; interfacing to machine protection systems; remote debugging; configuration management and source code control; and integration of commercial software tools. Several practical realizations will be presented
