A fault-tolerant approach to secure information retrieval (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, E., Jie, X., & Bennett, K. (2002, October). A fault-tolerant approach to secure information retrieval. Presented at 21st> Int. Symposium on Relianle Distributed Systems., Osaka, Japan

Several private information retrieval (PIR) schemes were proposed to protect users' privacy when sensitive information stored in database servers is retrieved. However, existing PIR schemes assume that any attack to the servers does not change the in... Read More about A fault-tolerant approach to secure information retrieval.

Software evolution and the staged model of the software lifecycle (2002)
Book Chapter
Bennett, K., Rajlich, V., & Wilde, N. (2002). Software evolution and the staged model of the software lifecycle. In M. Zelkowitz (Ed.), Advances in computers (1-54). Academic Press

The aim of this chapter is to describe the new staged model [5]. We provide a broad overview of the state of the art in software maintenance and evolution. The emphasis is mainly on process and methods, (rather than technology), since this is where t... Read More about Software evolution and the staged model of the software lifecycle.

Private information retrieval in the presence of malicious failures (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, E., Xu, J., & Bennett, K. (2002, August). Private information retrieval in the presence of malicious failures. Presented at 26th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference, 2002., Oxford, England

In the application domain of online information services such as online census information, health records and real-time stock quotes, there are at least two fundamental challenges: the protection of users' privacy and the assurance of service availa...

From system comprehension to program comprehension (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tjortjis, C., Gold, N., Layzell, P., & Bennett, K. (2002, August). From system comprehension to program comprehension. Presented at 26th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference, Oxford, UK

Program and system comprehension are vital parts of the software maintenance process. We discuss the need for both perspectives and describe two methods that may be integrated to provide a smooth transition in understanding from the system level to t...

An Abstract Architecture for Dependable and Flexible Distributed Applications (2002)
Book Chapter
Hong, Z., Xu, J., & Bennett, K. (2002). An Abstract Architecture for Dependable and Flexible Distributed Applications. In P. Henderson (Ed.), Systems engineering for business process change : new directions (23-37). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0135-2_3

Distributed software systems are increasingly used to support business applications. This requires three crucial properties of any architecture: first, the system has well defined dependability attributes; second, it is flexible, in that it can be mo...

Prototype Implementations of an Architectural Model for Service-Based Flexible Software (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bennett, K., Munro, M., Xu, J., Gold, N., Layzell, P., Mehandjiev, N., Budgen, D., Brereton, O., & Sprague, R. (2002, January). Prototype Implementations of an Architectural Model for Service-Based Flexible Software. Presented at 35th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Hawaii

The need to change software easily to meet evolving business requirements is urgent, and a radical shift is required in the development of software, with a more demand-centric view leading to software which will be delivered as a service, within the...
