The...Sis report (baca:Rapot)

from external examiner (Prof. Mohammad Ishak Desa)

In general, it is a good and well written thesis. The research problem addressed is non trivial and practically relevant. Substantial works have been done to address the problem. The thesis contributes to both the body of knowledge as well as to the practice. Based on hypothetical problem scenarios of a survival system, a new recovery model and its solution algorithm have been developed and tested using various case studies through experimental simulation. However, there are areas that need to be improved particularly the problem statement, the review of literature and the formatting of thesis. The statement of the problem was not explicitly expressed and the revies of literature was not geared towards supporting the problem to be addressed, the methodology and the design of the model/solution. The review is more of giving background knowledge and definitions, lack of critical analysis on the weaknesses of existing models and solutions to survivability problems. On the simulation experiments, more discussions and analysis of the various simulation results are required.

from internal examiner (Dr. Baharum B Baharuddin)

The thesis is on the development of a recovery model for survivable system through critical service resource reconfiguration.
Based on the thesis the candidate has shown competency in carrying out independent work and has made critical use of published work and source.
The strength of the thesis lies in the model developent whereby the candidate has given several scenarios and sub-scenarios. I believe that this gives credence to the originality of this work. I am also of the opinion that this thesis is worthy of publication either full or in part.
The weakness of this thesis is generally grammatical in nature and has been noted on the thesis for correction purposes.

Yeah, those were all ... for my 20 months.
and I'am still thinking a say : ' Irving, you're little bit unprofessional and that's why I advise you to take more experience before you take the next degree '.


Ya Rabb, dont let me fall into a suspicion ... (49:12).
