Building infrastructure to extend the practical research capability in Modelling and Analysis

Large and complex Distributed Real-time and Embedded (DRE) systems can be deployed and executed using both bare-metal and virtualised machine approaches. When a targeting a bare-metal deployment, the number of machines is usually limited due to the cost and availability of a large bank of servers. One solution to this problem is to use low […]

Flush+Reload: a High Resolution, Low Noise, L3 Cache Side-Channel Attack

An early result from our work with DSTO on security and virtualisation is now available from the Cryptology ePrint Archive. Our work with DSTO focusses on understanding the benefits and limitations, in terms of security, in using virtualisation in real-time and defence systems. As part of this work, we have been able to identify a […]

ICECCS 2013: Model-driven performance prediction of distributed real-time embedded defence systems

A paper outlining our approach to system execution modelling has been accepted at ICECCS. The paper outlines our approach, including the processes and tools that have developed, and provides a small case study to illustrate its utility. We are excited to have an early paper out that describes our holistic view of system execution modelling, […]

ASWEC 2013: A Model-driven Approach for Ensuring Change Traceability and Multi-Model Consistency

A paper describing our work in multi-modelling has been accepted for the ASWEC 2013 conference to be held in Melbourne in June. This paper describes our work in the multi-modeling project, led by Dr Claudia Szabo, providing initial experimental results and an overview of our multi-modelling architecture. Multi-modelling supports the integration of different modelling languages […]
