On-Line Security Assessment

这项研究试图理解大规模系统的工程方面，这些系统本质上是定性的、知识密集型的和非算法的，而不是通常用于设计和分析的定量和算法方法论的常规研究。这些调查的载体是在线安全评估问题，这是现在和未来系统的一个重要问题。这种高风险工作的潜在回报是高的，并将改变目前基于算法的设计工具的方向，将积累的知识和专业知识作为工程设计和综合的合法基础。

This research is attempting to understand the engineering aspects of large-scale systems that are qualitatives, knowledge intensive and nonalgorithmic in nature as opposed to conventional investigations into the quantitative and algorithmic methodology commonly used for design and analysis. The vehicle for these investigations is the problem of on-line security assessment, an important problem now and for future systems. The potential payoff for this hi-risk work is high and would alter the current direction of algorithmic-based design tools to one of recognition of accumulated knowledge an expertise as a legitimate basis for engineering design and synthesis.
