ALTOPS

Assembly Line Total Object Processing System

Rethinking Conventional(von Neumann) Architecture

(Patent # 5,742,823)

The basic architecture of

current machines has not changed

since 1949

ControlTime-Shares the

Processor With

Data.

In All von Neumann based Architectures

•Places Control in separate hardware and on independent busses

•Separates All key Control functions,

•All Jobs run on linked physical process units assigned to that Job only

ALTOPS

ALTOPS

Applies the Disciplines of Engineering

and Practices of Modern Manufacturing

to Information Processing

ALTOPS Engineering Disciplines

• All components of a system are OBJECTS. • All Processes are Specified and tested for: Function, Performance Reliability and Accuracy. • All Information is formally Specified.

ALTOPS

All components of ALTOPS: • Process units• System components• Data• Output of User Jobs• Are tested and conform to Specifications

ALTOPS

Manufacturing Practices

Controller of a Plant can account for all:• Capital (plant) • Equipment & Resources• Materials• Work in process• Products shipped

ALTOPS• Accounting System (in hardware & firmware) automatically records:

• System status• System resources• Data inventory• Jobs run• Physical resources used • Data used • Results produced• Security status

ALTOPS

Manufacturing Practices

• Stock Management indexes materials, parts, assemblies and products, by Specification class and subclass.

• All calls for materials, etc., are by Class Identification.

ALTOPS

• Data/Information custody is by• Specification class ID and • Instance (date-time or other)

• Data/information • Required by a Job is identified by• Specification Class ID.

ALTOPS

Manufacturing Practices• Jobs are specified by linking process elements• Call for parameters as needed at each process station

• Materials, etc., input and produced are cited by Class Spec. ID and Modification(A “Bill of Operations” and “Bill of Materials”)

Manufacturing Process

Processes operate concurrently, Output at the stepping rate of the assembly line

ALTOPS• System Functions and User Jobs are specified by linking the desired Classes of Processor elements

• Data/Information inputs and outputs are specified by Class ID

• Jobs are invoked by ID and inputs cited by date time or other instance ID

ALTOPS

• The ALTOPS processor is composed exclusively of hardware Process Units tested and certified to specifications of function, reliability and accuracy,

• Jobs are specified and implemented as linkages of Certified Process Units,

• Data is Certified to specifications of meaning, reliability and accuracy,RESULTS can be certified to meet Specifications.

ALTOPS• Job Specifications (“programs”) are developed, tested and verified on a Development Facility prior to Registry in the Secure System inventory.

• Data/Information specifications are designed and verified on tbe Development Facility prior to registry in the Secure System inventory.

ALTOPS

Manufacturing Practices

Major job responsibilities are assigned to separate departments• Plant Management• Facilities Management• Stock Management• Production Scheduling• Production• Shipping and receiving

First: Put System Control and Job Processing in separate hardware.

System cannot be invaded by data input.

ALTOPS

Data Cannot change

Control

The result is that

CONVENTIONAL Architectures

Are Subject to:

INVASIONS !

VIRUS,WORMSTROJAN HORSES

DENIAL OF SERVICE

• NOW it becomes possible to TRACK any event relating to:• The System, • System use,• Access attempts.

• RECREATE exactly at a later date any Job run, including the condition of the System and the exact Data used.

• Is extremely resistant to ATTACKS• Input data must EXACTLY conform to

Specification: • User ID • Data Class ID, • Update interval,• Update Instance format (viz. date/time). • Optional Security Check Sum

PROBABLE SUCCESS of one Attempt to penetrate the systemis 1/10 to the power (sum of digits in(User ID + ID’s of (Data Class,+Update frequency+Update instance format Spec.))

• Using typical number of decimal digits:= 1/10 to the power (6+5+4+2+2)

PROBABLE SUCCESS of one Attempt to penetrate the systemis 10 to the (-19th power)

•Any repetition of unsuccessful attempts is blocked and reported to the System Manager
