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.

The book recreates a past of Hindus and Muslims living together in
Kashmir. The atmosphere of togetherness is rife. Almost perfect.
The stories also return the reader to the awful conditions of Hindu
refugees as they began to live in the refugee camps in Jammu and
other places of India. The Muslims back home in Kashmir have their
terrible demons to deal with. While Hindus as migrants are cut off
from roots and long for home, Muslims are in a unprecedented mess
caught up in the tangles of violence and counter violence. The
lives of both are in tatters. Only hope seems to be the memory of
togetherness, which may heal.
The highly conserved molecular processes underlying learning
prompted me to study the impact of external stimuli (infection and
environmental stress) on the well investigated behavioural
repertoire of honeybee. In both vertebrates and invertebrates, the
role of JNK/SAPK (Jun-N-terminal kinase/Stress activated protein
kinase) in mechanism of learning and memory formation is not well
understood and demands for a thorough investigation, especially in
vivo. This work demonstrates a central role of JNK/SAPK, well known
as central component in mammalian immune and stress response, in
sensory processing and associative learning in honeybees. It
presents the first detailed basis for the future analysis of the
molecular pathways (especially JNK/SAPK) affected by viral
infections (Deformed wing virus; DWV) and other environmental
stress stimuli. In addition, it also provides information to
identify the molecular targets of the JNK pathway interacting with
cognitive functions. Taken together, my data shows first evidence
that JNK acts as central mediator between stress and behaviour of
honeybee.
