The condition for branch is generated by the operation comparison. The comparison by a digital comparator enables the realization of a unique 3-alternative conditional branch. Such a branch can't be software implemented. Only the hardware realization of the operation comparison generates such a unique conditional transition. The synthesized logical circuits of the logical units in the structure of the micro-pipeline controller are presented. The digital comparator as a part of the micro-pipeline unit generates transition flags LT, EQ and GT, defining each of the conditional transitions only into direction \"true\" (logical \"1\"). It is shown that the implementation of other conditions for a transition is basically possible by additional hardware resources that do not change the concept of the pipeline controller. The synthesized pipeline controller implements 2-phase transfer protocol.","PeriodicalId":291570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131322789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diversification makes each software instance unique so that malware attacks cannot rely on the knowledge of the program's execution environment and/or internal structure anymore. We present a systematic literature review on the state of-the-art of diversification and obfuscation research aiming to improve software security between 1993 and 2014. As the result of systematic search, in the final phase, 209 related papers were included in this study. In this study we focus on two specific research questions: what are the aims of diversification and obfuscation techniques and what are the environments they are applied to. The former question includes the languages and the execution environments that can benefit from these two techniques, while the second question presents the goals of the techniques and also the type of attacks they mitigate.","PeriodicalId":291570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114238736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the key factors that influence process execution is the availability of resources required to accomplish process activities. Without realistic simulation of resources usage by diverse activities, it is difficult or even impossible to obtain proper simulated BP performance measures. In this paper, we tackle the problem of simulating resources allocation and usage among simultaneous BP activities. We present an approach to model shareable resources and a set of constraints to handle resources allocation and control their usage in the rule-based BP simulation. This approach has been implemented in a prototype of BP simulation tool, and we provide an example showing benefits of applying this approach in a BP simulation.","PeriodicalId":291570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126500315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This focus can be seen in design and security mechanisms. An approach for a new color barcode in arbitrary shape is presented in the following paper. The innovative procedure satisfies new demands on design and security. With its adaptation of color and shape to a template image and thereby its integration into the image, the code allows an intuitive and realistic visualization of digital data. The fusion of coding and design makes the data almost equally interpretable for user and device.","PeriodicalId":291570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016","volume":"28 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126831524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
