Design of a priori threat prevention embedded in in-house application / Faiqah Hafidzah Halim

As application grow in size, complexity, and heterogeneity in response to growing computational needs, it is increasingly difficult to build a system that satisfies all requirements and design constraints that it will encounter during its lifetime. Furthermore, many of these systems are required to...
