The "sonic region" of the Sun corona remains extremely difficult to observe with spatial resolution and sensitivity sufficient understand fine scale phenomena that govern quiescent solar corona, as well lead coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which influence space weather. Improvement on this front requires eclipse-like conditions over long observation times. space-borne coronagraphs flown so far provided a continuous coverage external parts but their over-occulting system did not permit analyse...

The paper will present an exploratory study about the potential use of reconfigurable FPGAs in context Fault Tolerance Computers and digital systems for space systems. It provide analysis applications these new techniques, starting from classical architecture principles. purpose this is to evaluate feasibility approaches, show benefits identify critical points difficulties be solved towards operational deployment. After a theoretical overview solutions trade-off using reconfiguration...
Critical infrastructures have to withstand advanced and persistent threats, which can be addressed using Byzantine fault tolerant state-machine replication (BFT-SMR). In practice, unattended cyberdefense systems rely on threat level detectors that synchronously inform them of changing levels. However, a BFT-SMR protocol operate unattended, the state-of-the-art is still configure highest possible number faulty replicas <tex>$f$</tex> they might encounter, limits their performance, or make...
Autonomous driver assistance systems (ADAS) have been progressively pushed to extremes. Today, increasingly sophisticated algorithms, such as deep neural networks, assume responsibility for critical driving functionality, including operating the vehicle at various levels of autonomy. Elaborate obstacle detection, classification, and prediction mostly vision-based, trajectory planning, smooth control take over what humans learn until they are permitted vehicles beyond. And even if remain in...

The use of traditional defense mechanisms or intrusion detection systems presents a disadvantage for defenders against attackers since these are essentially reactive. Moving target (MTD) has emerged as proactive mechanism to reduce this by randomly and continuously changing the attack surface system confuse attackers. Although significant progress been made recently in analyzing security effectiveness MTD mechanisms, critical gaps still exist, especially maximizing levels estimating network...
