The Internet: Past, Present and Future |
|
Born in 1969, Internet has passed its 40th birthday. However, it does
not seem to go into middle age crisis. Internet is still young and evolving.
In this talk, we review how Internet goes to where it is now and outline
the future research directions of Internet. Its impacts on society and
human beings are also diagnosed.

Security in the time of robots and cyborgs |
|
In the context of robots becoming common to our daily
life, and as we experience breakthrough advances in biology, this talk
examines the migration from 'info' security to 'robo' security, and
then further on to 'cyborg' security and 'bio' security. In a world
of networked infrastructures the challenges of security have already
grown well beyond conventional computer security. New challenges appear
as computers enhanced by the addition of mobility and intervention capabilities
(such as manipulation, fire power, etc) become robots of various types,
from personal humanoid robots to unmanned aerial vehicles. A security
failure in personal robots may lead to injury to individuals, damage/loss
of property, etc, while at the other end of the spectrum, in military
platforms it may lead to video intercepts as recently experienced by
Predator drones, or worse, to platforms turning rogue and acting against
their owners. Moreover, security challenges will further escalate as
we transition from the time of robots to the time of cyborgs, as networked
chip implants will become common in humans, and bio-artificial hybrids
will gain superior abilities to the mechatronic robots of current design.
Ultimately the greatest security challenge will come full cycle to protecting
life, more specifically protecting access to the information of living
organisms, at a future time when we will have reached the ability to
understand, modify, and artificially create life mechanisms at intimate
levels, and our greatest achievement would have also created our greatest
vulnerability. |

| Mathematical
Models and Computational Methods for Analysis of Structures of Biological
Networks |
|
Extensive studies have been done on analysis of structures
of various kinds of biological and social networks for these ten years.
We have also been studying structures of biological networks with focusing
on metabolic networks and protein-protein interaction networks. We proposed
mathematical models for explaining scale-freeness and modularity of
these networks.
For metabolic networks, we proposed a model based on mutation and short-cut.
For protein-protein interaction networks, we proposed a model based
on mutation and duplication of protein domains and random interaction
of protein domains. We also developed computational methods for analysis
of metabolic networks. For comparison of metabolic networks, we developed
a method based on graph compression. For measuring the structural robustness
of metabolic networks, we developed a method using integer linear programming.
In this talk, we overview mathematical models and computational methods
for analysis of biological networks with focusing on the above mentioned
results and discuss future directions. |

Software Reliability Modeling in Past, Present
and Future |
|
During the last four decades, the software reliability
engineering has played a central role to provide several quantitative
methods used in the real software development processes. Since the assessment
of software reliability is one of the main issues in this area, we need
several kinds of stochastic models to assess quantitatively the software
reliability, which is the probability that the software system does
not fail during a specified time period. In the software reliability
research, a huge number of software reliability models (SRMs) have been
proposed in the literature from the various points of view. In this
talk, we overview the modeling framework to develop SRMs and their associated
parameter estimation algorithms in two phases; testing phase and design
phase. In the testing phase, not only the software fault data but also
some related software metrics data are available, and can be utilized
to describe the fault-detection phenomena. In the design phase, on the
other hand, the software architecture is represented by means of Markovian
analysis and is used to estimate the risk including some reliability
measures from the information on both requirement and design documents.
Especially, the latter approach receives much attetions by practitioners,
because it enables us to estimate the software reliability before coding.
We also mention several open problems in this research area. |
