Title: Maxim Shevertalov and Software Fault Detection

Introduction

Maxim Shevertalov is an inventor associated with Drexel University and based in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. His patent work addresses the detection, diagnosis, and mitigation of software faults.

Latest Patents

Shevertalov is associated with 1 patent, titled “Detection, Diagnosis, and Mitigation of Software Faults.” The invention uses computational geometry to distinguish normal software behavior from anomalous behavior. It collects runtime measurements and processes them to create a geometric enclosure representing the application’s normal operating space. Measurements inside or on the enclosure’s perimeter indicate normal operation, while measurements outside it indicate a potential fault. In one embodiment, the enclosure is a convex hull in N-dimensional Euclidean space. Depending on the measurements, appropriate responses may include restarting the software or disabling access to a network port.

Career Highlights

Shevertalov’s patent reflects an approach to software reliability that uses runtime data and geometric modeling to identify deviations from expected behavior. The described system can also support responses intended to mitigate detected faults.

Collaborations

The patent information names Edward Stehle and Spiros Mancoridis as Shevertalov’s coworkers. His company affiliation is Drexel University.

Conclusion

Maxim Shevertalov’s patented work applies computational geometry to software monitoring, helping identify abnormal runtime behavior and guide potential fault-mitigation actions.
