Systematic assessment of the impact of user roles on network flow patterns
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-09)
Defining normal computer user behavior is critical to detecting potentially malicious activity. To facilitate this, some anomaly-detection systems group the profiles of users expected to behave similarly, setting thresholds ...
Efficient orchestration of data centers via comprehensive and application-aware trade-off exploration
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-12)
Software-defined network (SDN) orchestration, the problem of integrating and deploying multiple network control functions (NCFs) while minimizing suboptimal network states that can result from competing NCF proposals, is ...
Executable behavioral modeling of system- and software-architecture specifications to inform resourcing decisions
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-09)
The size, cost, and slow rate of change of Department of Defense (DOD) Information Technology (IT) systems make introducing new capabilities challenging. Without considering the whole system and its environment, design ...
Improved conceptual models methodology (ICoMM) for validation of non-observable systems
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-12)
This dissertation expands the current view of development and validation of conceptual models (CoM) of non-observable systems (NOSs) by using systems engineering (SE) and systems architecture (SA) methods during the model ...
Identifying and quantifying emergent behavior through system of systems modeling and simulation
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-09)
The U.S. Department of Defense builds many weapons systems as Systems of Systems (SoSs). Operational testing is used to test capabilities in these SoSs, but testing all configurations of the SoSs may not be possible due ...
Identifying the limits of an integrated training environment using human abilities and affordance theory
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
This research investigated the development and use of an analytical assessment methodology anchored in systems engineering principles, affordance theory, and human abilities, to measure the potential of integrated training ...
Design and evaluation for the end-to-end detection of TCP/IP header manipulation
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
Understanding, measuring, and debugging IP networks, particularly across administrative domains, is challenging. One aspect of the challenge are transparent middleboxes, which are now common in today’s Internet. In-path ...
Safety of mixed model access control in a multilevel system
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
Information sharing can result in emergent behaviors that affect the safety properties associated with overt information flows. Secure cross-domain integration, involving the safety properties of both individual domains ...
Development of a locomotion interface for portable virtual environment systems using an inertial/magnetic sensor-based system and a ranging measurement system
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-03)
This dissertation describes the development of an integrated locomotion interface for building self-contained, portable, and immersive virtual environment (VE) systems. Such VE systems do not rely on any infrastructure ...
A systematic software, firmware, and hardware codesign methodology for digital signal processing
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-03)
Creating an embedded system that meets its functional, performance, cost, and schedule goals is a software-and-hardware codesign problem, since the design of the software and hardware components influence each other. The ...
