This paper describes assessment techniques utilized for assessing undergraduate students studying in a software engineering program. The purpose behind this work is to get the program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Therefore, a number of applied direct and indirect assessment techniques are described. These techniques are implemented towards the end of the semester to assess the extent to which the student and course outcomes are satisfied. Consequently, results are obtained and analyzed and various learning issues are eventually identified.

The protection of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems during times of both war and peace is a major issue. There are many traditional mechanisms to provide such protection, but they have many limitations related to inaccuracy and false alarms. In this paper, we discuss possible types of attacks in the context of C4I systems, including Denial-of-Service (DoS), Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS), Probe, User-to-Root (U2R), and Root-to-Local (R2L) attacks, and propose a fundamental model to prevent such attacks.

An ESB is a platform that provides services such as message routing and transformation. Along with this, it has the capabilities to ease the pains of connecting heterogeneous C4I systems among various defense forces. This paper describes an assessing mechanism of optimum selection of Enterprise Services Bus (ESB) for C4I architecture framework. We use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for analyzing different Enterprise Services Buses (ESBs).

Ever since the inception of the idea of collaborating the enterprise systems, the need of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has been a relentless need of the market, the bigger the systems get after collaboration the failures of the ESB's was inevitable. Things moved to more gravity when the bulkiest of the systems like Defense architectures came into picture, with the advent of this not of the efficiency but also the factors like stability, reliability, resource utilization were also of pivotal importance.

A Service Bus is a distributed infrastructure used for enterprise integration. It resolves the problem of connecting heterogeneous C4I systems among various defense forces. The current work focuses on describing a detailed comparative analysis of three SOA service buses; Mule, Fuse and GlassFish for C4I systems using Multi-criteria Decision Making Technique (MCDM). In this paper, the phenomenon of selecting the best alternative is based on two criteria; main criteria and sub-criteria.

An ESB is a middleware that provides services such as message routing and transformation. Further, it has the capabilities to ease the pains of connecting heterogeneous C4I systems among various defense forces. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach based on criteria for selecting SOA Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for C4I architecture framework. This assay mechanism is based on two types of criteria such as main criteria and sub-criteria. We used multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique for analyzing different SOA Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs).
