In this paper we propose a reliable protocol for controlling a robots network. The RRCP is not just a protocol for Internet robot communication but also a complete software package. We illustrate the usage of RRCP on a Khepera III robots network. RRCP is designed over an infrastructure based on Web services. By adopting the RRCP, several robots can be operated using the same commands. For example, several robots by different types, supporting this

In this paper the optimal software reliability allocation problem is studied when complex architectures are used and various constraints applied. Firstly, the basic reliability model in the case of component-based development methodology and the classical optimization approach are described. In the next sections the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the intuitionistic fuzzy optimization are considered. New formulas and interpretations will be given

This paper describes the most relevant aspects concerning the secure software design for embedded systems and asserts that the quality of the embedded systems can be increased using appropriate secure software techniques and a multi-step strategy based on prevention and vulnerability discovery, resistance to attacks, security holes removing, and behavior prediction along the system life-cycle.

There is an increasing request for web software systems, some of them to be used very intensive. The customers ask not only for fast design and implementation, but also for a high quality product. Considering reliability as an important quality attribute, this paper describes the current state of the art in designing, implementing, and testing web software. An important attention is given to software vulnerabilities and how to deliver secure software.
