Infos

Computer and network systems have given us unlimited opportunities
of reducing cost, improving efficiency, and increasing revenues, as
demonstrated by an increasing number of computer and network
applications. Yet, our dependence on computer and network systems
has also exposed us to new risks, which threaten the security of,
and present new challenges for protecting our assets and
information on computer and network systems. The reliability of
computer and network systems ultimately depends on security and
quality of service (QoS) performance.

This book presents quantitative modeling and analysis techniques
to address these numerous challenges in cyber attack prevention and
detection for security and QoS, including:

* the latest research on computer and network behavior under
attack and normal use conditions;

* new design principles and algorithms, which can be used by
engineers and practitioners to build secure computer and network
systems, enhance security practice and move to providing QoS
assurance on the Internet;

* mathematical and statistical methods for achieving the accuracy
and timeliness of cyber attack detection with the lowest
computational overhead;

* guidance on managing admission control, scheduling, reservation
and service of computer and network jobs to assure the service
stability and end-to-end delay of those jobs even under Denial of
Service attacks or abrupt demands.

Secure Computer and Network Systems: Modeling, Analysis and
Design is an up-to-date resource for practising engineers and
researchers involved in security, reliability and quality
management of computer and network systems. It is also a must-read
for postgraduate students developing advanced technologies for
improving computer network dependability.

Autor

Professor Ye received her Ph.D. degree (1991) in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, and holds MS (1988) and BS (1985) degrees in Computer Science. With her multi-disciplinary educational background, Dr. Ye has devoted her academic career to establishing the scientific and engineering foundation for assuring quality/reliability of information systems and industrial systems.

Rezensionen

"Ye provides many theories, as well as actual test results, to make
this book a valuable source of ideas. It can also serve as a
reference guide for those exploring this field." (Computing
Reviews, September 10, 2008)

"Since the next generation of computer network systems and
information infrastructure relies on scientific and engineering
approaches to provide security, QoS, and ultimately system
dependability, this book might help people in academia and industry
working to achieve this goal." (IEEE Computer Magazine, June
2008)
