Pervasive computing is not only going to change the way we will live and interact with (smart) devices, it will also definitely change the way engineers design such devices and develop software for them. Indeed, centralized computing won't exist anymore. New computing systems are going to be defined in terms of devices that will work in concert to support users in carrying out their everyday life activities. This will be done by using information and intelligence that is hidden in the (wireless) network connecting such devices. As they grow smaller, more connected, more mobile and more integrated into our environment, devices will become more sensitive to physical faults, interaction mistakes, or malicious attacks and disruptions. As a result, this new paradigm calls not only for new ways of thinking systems at every system level (from hardware and network layers, through the operating system and middleware, to applications) but also for the consideration of security and dependability issues at all of these levels. This seminar will explore some of the existing research initiatives at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV) focused on the design and evaluation of mobile systems: resilience benchmarking of SoCs used to produce mobile devices, reflective- and aspect-oriented approaches to improve the resilience of mobile solutions at both HW and SW levels, attack injection methodologies to evaluate security properties in wireless (ad hoc) networks and intrusion detection approaches to improve such properties whenever required. ===================================================================== Dr. Juan Carlos Ruiz received the MS degree in Computer Science from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) in 1998, and his Ph.D. from the Institut National Polytechnique of Toulouse (France) in 2002. His thesis work was carried out at the LAAS (Laboratoire d’ Analyse et d’Architecture des Systèmes) laboratory, where he investigated in the Jean-Claude Laprie research group. It focused on testing reflective fault tolerant systems and it was partially supported by France-Telecom, the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) and the JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science). During his Ph.D., he visited the Tsukuba University in Japan, where we worked with Professor Shigeru Chiba in the implementation of an open compiler for the provision of fault tolerance to object-oriented systems. In 2003, Dr. Ruiz integrated the Grupo de Sistemas Tolerantes a Fallos (GSTF) of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. He was involved in the European project DBench (Dependability Benchmarking). Currently, he is an assistant professor at the Computer Science Faculty of such university, where he is also in charge of the relations between the Faculty and enterprises. His main research interests include, although they are not limited to, dependability and security benchmarking, fault and attack injection, and fault and intrusion tolerance in wireless embedded systems. He normally serves as reviewer and program committee in international conferences in the dependability domain, like European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) and the IEEE/IFIP Dependable Systems and Networks Conference (DSN. Dr. Juan Carlos Ruiz is member of the IFIP 10.4 SIG on Dependable Benchmarking and the Spanish Technological Platform for Security and Dependability.
