Abstract

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) bridge relativistic astrophysics and multi-messenger astronomy. Space-based gamma/X-ray wide field detectors have proven essential to detect and localize the highly variable GRB prompt emission, which is also a counterpart of gravitational wave events. We study the capabilities to detect long and short GRBs by the High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites (HERMES) Pathfinder (HP) and SpIRIT, namely a swarm of six 3U CubeSats to be launched in early 2025, and a 6U CubeSat launched on December 1st 2023. We also study the capabilities of two advanced configurations of swarms of >8 satellites with improved detector performances (HERMES Constellations). The HERMES detectors, sensitive down to ~2-3 keV, will be able to detect faint/soft GRBs which comprise X-ray flashes and high redshift bursts. By combining state-of-the-art long and short GRB population models with a description of the single module performance, we estimate that HP will detect ~195^{+22}_{-21} long GRBs (3.4^{+0.3}_{-0.8} at redshift z>6) and ~19^{+5}_{-3} short GRBs per year. The larger HERMES Constellations under study can detect between ~1300 and ~3000 long GRBs per year and between ~160 and ~400 short GRBs per year, depending on the chosen configuration, with a rate of long GRBs above z>6 between 30 and 75 per year. Finally, we explore the capabilities of HERMES to detect short GRBs as electromagnetic counterparts of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers detected as gravitational signals by current and future ground-based interferometers. Under the assumption that the GRB jets are structured, we estimate that HP can provide up to 1 (14) yr^{-1} joint detections during the fifth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run (Einstein Telescope single triangle 10 km arm configuration). These numbers become 4 (100) yr^{-1}, respectively, for the HERMES Constellation configuration., Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, 4 tabels. Accepted for publication by Astronomy & Astrophysics

Abstract

The complexity of modern software systems, the integration of several software components, and the increasing exposure to public networks make systems more susceptible to cyber-attacks, especially those targeting memory. Memory error exploitation received worldwide attention thanks to the Morris worm in 1988 and has been around for over 30 years. As a matter of fact, attacks that involve memory safety, such as buffer overflows, are still a plague in modern software. The research in countering those kinds of attacks has gone in several directions. This work surveys memory integrity techniques developed during the last quarter century for embedded or general-purpose open-source operating systems, ranging from older mechanisms to state-of-the-art solutions. A comparison of various memory integrity techniques is presented to examine their effectiveness and technical significance. Insights into ongoing trends and developments are also provided to assess their potential impact in the foreseeable future.

Abstract

HERMES is a scientific mission composed of 3U nano-satellites dedicated to the detection and localization of high-energy astrophysical transients, with a distributed space architecture to form a constellation in Earth orbits. The space segment hosts novel miniaturized detectors to probe the X-ray temporal emission of bright events, such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events (GWEs), playing a crucial role in future multi-messenger astrophysics. During operations, at least three instruments, separated by a minimum distance shall observe a common area of the sky to perform a triangulation of the observed event. An effective detection by the nano-satellite payload is achieved by guaranteeing a beneficial orbital and pointing configuration of the constellation. The design has to cope with the limitations imposed by small space systems, such as the lack of on-board propulsion and the reduced systems budgets. The paper describes the methodologies and the proposed strategies to overcome the mission limitations, while achieving a satisfactory constellation visibility of the sky throughout the mission duration. The mission design makes use of a high-fidelity orbit propagator, combined with an innovative mission analysis tool that estimates the scientific performances of the constellation. The influence of the natural relative motion, which is crucial to achieve an effective constellation configuration without on-board orbit control, is assessed. The presented methodology can be easily extended to any kind of distributed scientific space applications, as well as to constellations dedicated to Earth and planetary observation. In addition, the visibility tool is applicable in the context of the constellation flight dynamics operations, yielding optimized results and pointing plans based on actual satellite orbital positions., Comment: 31 pages, 18 figures, 3 tables.

Abstract

A morphological study of the skeletal specimen of Canis lupus L. from an archeological dig of Agnano (Pisa) (Fauna Laboratory, Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Pisa, Italy) that is chronologically placed in the Wurm period (last glaciation) was done to perform an anatomical comparison between this wild ancestor and osteological specimens of Canis familiaris L. present in the Veterinary Anatomy Museum (University of Pisa). Marked morphological differences in the splanchnocranium (nasal bone, zygomatic arch and orbital angle), neurocranium (sagittal crest) and temporomandibular joint (due to different developments of the masticatory muscles) are highlighted on the wolf specimen compared to those in the domestic dog specimens present in Museum. The appendicular skeletal bones of the wolf show anatomical features similar to those of dog bone specimens, confirming their belonging to the same family (Canidae). This result confirms that domestication has almost exclusively affected the anatomical features of the skull that have changed due to the difference in dietary approach between wolves and dogs.

Abstract

Threat Modelling allows defenders to identify threats to which the target system is exposed. Such a process requires a detailed infrastructure analysis to map threats to assets and to identify possible flaws. Unfortunately, the process is still mostly done manually and without the support of formally sound approaches. Moreover, Threat Modelling often involves teams with different levels of security knowledge, leading to different possible interpretation in the system under analysis representation. Threat modelling automation comes with two main challenges: (i) the need for a standard representation of models and data used in various stages of the process, establishing a formal vocabulary for all involved parties, and (ii) the requirement for a well-defined inference rule set enabling reasoning process automation for threat identification. The paper presents the ThreMA approach to automating threat modelling for ICT infrastructures, aiming at addressing the key automation issues through the use of ontologies. Specifically, a formal vocabulary for modelling an ICT infrastructure, a threat catalog and a set of inference rules needed to support the reasoning process for threat identification are provided. The proposed approach has been validated against actual significant case studies provided by different Stakeholders of the Italian Public Sector.

Abstract

The GQM methodology (Basili, 2002) is a top down approach that proceeds from the goals to the metrics of a paradigm of measurement and introduces the advantage to be completely independent from the dominion of application, allowing to get extremely specifi c results for the context in examination. Once defi ned, the scheme of measurement with the methodology GQM, it must be submitted to a validation in order to check the syntactic and semantics correctness among the various levels of the method. The validation responds to the question: are we building (or has it been built) the correct GQM? The paper shows as the validation of the GQM, used for the comparative evaluation of some bases of and-learning open source, has been conducted. To the moment the document is constituted of 13 clusters (macro goals), 48 goals, 79 quality focus, 495 questions and 91 metrics. The experimenta is still in progress both at laboratories of e-learning of the DIS of University of Naples Federico II and at DAUIN of polytechnic in Turin.

31. Automatic and Simultaneous Floorplanning and Placement in Field-Programmable Gate Arrays With Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration Based on Genetic Algorithm

Author

Abstract

Using dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) feature in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) systems seems inevitable by considering the tremendous benefits, such as reduced cost and power. Nowadays, manual floorplanning is one of the difficulties in implementing DPR systems, which relies on the designer’s views and his command over designing the concepts for arranging the modules on the physical layout of the FPGA more efficiently, as the results of floorplanning can influence the next stages, such as the placement. In other words, placement and floorplanning that are separately conducted in the today’s tools are interdependent and the floorplanning results play a role in the placement and vice versa. This article aimed to propose a method for conducting floorplanning and placement simultaneously in DPR systems according to the genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed algorithm was tested on 20 largest MCNC benchmark circuits with DPR-support capability. Based on the results, wirelength and critical path delay improved by 14% and 17%, respectively, compared with Xilinx’s early access partial reconfiguration design flow (EAPR). However, area and runtime increased by about 2% and 8%, respectively. The proposed method was also compared with other research that uses B* tree and simulated annealing algorithm. The results showed that our proposed algorithm is competitive in various parameters with other research.

Abstract

Today it is very important to adapt the formative method of the distance learning to the various situations of courses distribution and to your virtual class, so the e-learning platforms should have “easy–customizable” formative methods. Unfortunately nowadays many e-learning platforms don’t have modifiable formative methods. The results is you have to use that process modifying your formative method approach. So, in order to choice an e-learning platform you must have tools can help you to evaluate the formative method and understand if it is compatible with your approaches, and also to evaluate its flexibility. This paper defines a methodology and it describes a tool useful to compare e-learning platform from the point of view of the quantization of a formative method. This methodology is originally named GQM for elearning platform and it is already adopted by the labs of the University “Federico II” in Naples and the “Politecnico di Torino”.

45. An abstraction layer enabling pervasive hardware-reconfigurable systems

Author

Cilardo, Alessandro, Mazzocca, Nicola, and Prinetto, Paolo

Abstract

Field-programmable gate array technologies are creating a new range of challenges for pervasive and ubiquitous systems. Revisiting and extending approaches borrowed from the purely software domain is a fundamental opportunity in this scenario. In particular, this paper addresses code mobility, a well-established approach used to dynamically adapt a distributed system based on the actual application needs, and extends it to a deep code mobility concept, allowing 'logical' hardware components to be migrated across a pervasive infrastructure. The work presents the architecture and the prototype implementation of a reconfigurable computing framework providing full support to deep code mobility through an abstraction layer which exposes a portable view of the underlying reconfigurable hardware. The paper then thoroughly discusses two application scenarios, hardware-accelerated distributed data mining and autonomous online testing, confirming the impact of deep code mobility in real-world pervasive computing contexts.
