Because of the growing reliance on software, growing concerns are
how reliable a system is before it is commissioned for use, how
high is the level in the system, how many vulnerabilities exist in
the system before its operationalization. Equally pressing issues
concern how to secure the system from internal and external
security threats that may exist in the face of resident
vulnerabilities. The two problems are considered increasingly
important because it necessitates the development of tools and
techniques capable of analyzing the dependability, and security
aspects of a system. These concerns become more pronounced in the
cases of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. System
Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies focuses on
the use of soft computing techniques and analytical techniques in
the modelling and analysis of dependable and secure systems. It
examines systems and applications having complex distributed or
networked architectures in such fields as Nuclear energy Ground
transportation systems Air traffic control Healthcare and medicine
Communications System reliability engineering is a
multidisciplinary field that uses computational methods for
estimating or predicting reliability aspects of a system and
analyzing failure data obtained from real-world projects. System
security is a related field that ensures that even a reliable
system is secure against accidental or deliberate intrusions and
free of vulnerabilities. This book covers the tools and techniques,
cutting-edge research topics, and methodologies in the areas of
system reliability, and security. It examines prediction models and
methods as well as how to secure a system as it is being develop.

This book addresses the use of food hydrocolloids as agents for
encapsulating biological active ingredients. It details the
challenges of poorly-controlled rate of hydration, thickness,
decrease in viscosity upon storage, and susceptibility to microbial
contamination. Food Hydrocolloids as Encapsulating Agents in
Delivery Systems briefly describes various emerging biomaterials
including food gums, starches, beta glucans, and proteins for their
potential role as wall material in the development of nutraceutical
delivery systems. Further, it describes different techniques of
fabrication of nanodelivery systems. Features: Provides an
introduction to food hydrocolloids as encapsulating agents Covers
starches and their derivatives as delivery systems Includes
gum-based delivery systems Discusses the classification, isolation,
and purification of protein delivery systems This book would be
helpful to food scientists and pharmaceutical scientists working in
areas including nanotechnology, polymer chemistry, and
nutraceutical delivery, as well as regulators and government
researchers in US FDA, USDA, and UK FSA regulatory agencies.
