“…Therefore, in order to compare our work in this paper to existing work in more detail and to appropriately set the context within which this work was developed, we have conducted a semi‐systematic survey of the literature (cf. Portocarrero et al) pertaining to security methodology quality, the results of which we present in this section together with a brief overview of related ideas in software development methodologies for general context awareness.…”

Security methodologies represent systematic approaches for introducing security attributes into a system throughout the development lifecycle. While isolated attempts have been made to demonstrate the value of particular security methodologies, the “quality” of security methodologies, as such, has never been given due consideration; indeed, it has never been studied as a self‐standing topic. The literature therefore entirely lacks supportive artifacts that can provide a basis for assessing, and hence for improving, a security methodology's quality. In this paper, we fill the aforementioned gap by proposing a comprehensive quality framework and accompanying process, within the context of an existing approach to engineering security methodologies, which can be used for both (bottom‐up) quality assessment and (top‐down) quality improvement. The main framework elements can be extended and customized to allow an essentially arbitrary range of methodology features to be considered, thus forming a basis for flexible, fine‐grained quality control. We demonstrate the bottom‐up application of the latter framework and process on three real‐life security methodologies for distributed systems, taken as case studies. Based on the assessment results, we subsequently show in detail (for one) and briefly discuss (for the remaining set) how the case study methodologies can be re‐engineered to improve their quality.

In order to analyze the channel estimation performance of near space high altitude platform station (HAPS) in wireless communication system, the structure and formation of HAPS are studied in this paper. The traditional Least Squares (LS) channel estimation method and Singular Value Decomposition-Linear Minimum Mean-Squared (SVD-LMMS) channel estimation method are compared and investigated. A novel channel estimation method and model are proposed. The channel estimation performance of HAPS is studied deeply. The simulation and theoretical analysis results show that the performance of the proposed method is better than the traditional methods. The lower Bit Error Rate (BER) and higher Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) can be obtained by the proposed method compared with the LS and SVD-LMMS methods.

“…Eibel et al (2018) proposed an energy-aware middleware platform, which adjusts the system configuration to achieve the best energy. Also, some papers mainly study adaptive strategy (Portocarrero et al, 2017;Sun and Satoh, 2016). For complex engineering in automotive or aerospace, Beni et al (2019) proposed a policy-driven adaptive middleware, which supports smart cloud-based deployment and execution of engineering workflows.…”

Over the past years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the development of innovative applications for the internet of things (IoT). An important challenge of IoT application is to adapt to dynamic environments, which can be modified at runtime considering the emergence of other requirements. To address this issue, pervasive computing can provide us with a good solution. Aiming at the environments which are open, dynamic and heterogeneous, we propose an adaptive middleware named PAmiddleware. PAmiddleware is service-oriented, context-aware, and supported by QoS. The architecture of PAmiddleware is based on TAO which is a standard-based, CORBA middleware framework. Meanwhile, we present a model for context awareness to allow the adaptation and give a modelling method of context description for context resource. We also propose an adaptive strategy which uses a genetic algorithm for optimisation. The proposed model can well meet the needs of pervasive computing, and provide more convenient service.
