Because Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the hottest topics that is currently gaining momentum, and the number of its adopters (both business and IT executives) is increasing in a tremendous manner, it is really a must to…
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is commonly employed in the design and implementation of web service systems. The key technology to enable media communications in the context of SOA is the Service Oriented Communication. To exploit the…
Most safety testing efforts for large language models (LLMs) today focus on evaluating foundation models. However, there is a growing need to evaluate safety at the application level, as components such as system prompts, retrieval…
Business requirements for rapid operational efficiency, customer responsiveness as well as rapid adaptability are actively driving the need for ever increasing communication and integration apabilities of software assets. In this context,…
In this report we propose a solution to problem of the dependency on the experience of the software project quality assurance personnel by providing a transparent, objective and measurement based quality framework. The framework helps the…
Our goal is to enable holistic hardware security evaluation from the microarchitectural point of view. To achieve this, we propose a framework that categorizes threat models based on the microarchitectural components being targeted, and…
User experience is a critical factor Large Language Model (LLM) serving systems must consider, where service level objectives (SLOs) considering the experience of individual requests and system level metrics (SLMs) considering the overall…
Assurance cases are used to demonstrate confidence in system properties of interest (e.g. safety and/or security). A number of system assurance approaches are adopted by industries in the safety-critical domain. However, the task of…
Lack of resources is a challenge for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in implementing an IT-based system to facilitate more efficient business decisions and expanding the market. A community system based on service-oriented architecture…
This paper presents an architecture for the Project Management, which is defined using the concepts behind ServiceOriented and Decision Support System. The framework described, denominated as SoaDssPm, represents the following: a coherent…
At present organizations try to achieve competitive advantages using information technology (IT). Organizations not only use Information technology to manage their internal operations but also to collaborate with their customers and…
Autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), advance rapidly toward interconnected systems -- an Internet of Agents (IoA). This vision enables complex problem-solving while introducing systemic…
Todays industrial control systems consist of tightly coupled components allowing adversaries to exploit security attack surfaces from the information technology side, and, thus, also get access to automation devices residing at the…
Today, the deployment of Web services in many enterprise applications has gained much attention. Service network inhibits certain common properties as they arise spontaneously and are subject to high fluctuation. The objective of consumer…
Security operation centers (SOCs) all over the world are tasked with reacting to cybersecurity alerts ranging in severity. Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools streamline cybersecurity alert responses by SOC…
Embedded Systems (ES) development has been historically focused on functionality rather than security, and today it still applies in many sectors and applications. However, there is an increasing number of security threats over ES, and a…
Service Oriented Architecture is a loosely coupled architecture designed to tackle the problem of Business Infrastructure alignment to meet the needs of an organization. A SOA based platform enables the enterprises to develop applications…
Graphical user interface (GUI) agents powered by vision language models (VLMs) are rapidly moving from passive assistance to autonomous operation. However, this unrestricted action space exposes users to severe and irreversible financial,…
LLM agents emit actions, not just text, and once taken, those actions often cannot be undone. Yet today's agent-safety evaluations run greedy or a few sampled rollouts and report a single safe/unsafe rate -- blind to the long-tail…
The prediction quality of machine learnt models and the functionality they ultimately enable (e.g., object detection), is typically evaluated using a variety of quantitative metrics that are specified in the associated model performance…
