Some preliminary results of memory cache analysis with the use of non-extensive

<p>The problem of modeling different parts of computer systems requires accurate statistical tools. Cache memory systems is an inherent part of nowadays computer systems, where the memory hierarchical structure plays a key point role in behavior and performance of the whole system. In the case of Windows operating systems, cache memory is a place in memory subsystem where the I/O system puts recently used data from disk. In paper some preliminary results about statistical behavior of one selected system counter behavior are presented. Obtained results shown that the real phenomena, which have appeared during human-computer interaction, can be expressed in terms of non-extensive statistics that is related to Tsallis proposal of new entropy definition.</p>

FLC control for tuning exploration phase in bio-inspired metaheuristic

<p>Growing popularity of the Bat Algorithm has encouraged researchers to focus their work on its further improvements. Most work has been done within the area of hybridization of Bat Algorithm with other metaheuristics or local search methods. Unfortunately, most of these modifications not only improves the quality of obtained solutions, but also increases the number of control parameters that are needed to be set in order to obtain solutions of expected quality. This makes such solutions quite impractical. What more, there is no clear indication what these parameters do in term of a search process. In this paper authors are trying to incorporate Mamdani type Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) to tackle some of these mentioned shortcomings by using the FLC to control the exploration phase of a bio-inspired metaheuristic. FLC also allows us to incorporate expert knowledge about the problem at hand and define expected behaviors of system – here process of searching in multidimensional search space by modeling the process of bats hunting for their prey.</p>

Methods for increasing security of web servers

<p>This article is addressed in most part to people dealing with security of web servers. This paper begins with presenting the statistical dimension of the issue of data security in the modern Internet. This paper begins with presenting statistics dealing with issues of data security on the modern World Wide Web. The authors main focus in this work is presenting the challenges of dealing with security and protection of web communication. The work analyses the security of implementing SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocol and proposes a new method of increasing security of web servers.

Music Playlist Generation using Facial Expression Analysis and Task Extraction

<p>In day to day stressful environment of IT Industry, there is a truancy for the appropriate relaxation time for all working professionals. To keep a person stress free, various technical or non-technical stress releasing methods are now being adopted. We can categorize the people working on computers as administrators, programmers, etc. each of whom require varied ways in order to ease themselves. The work pressure and the vexation of any kind for a person can be depicted by their emotions. Facial expressions are the key to analyze the current psychology of the person. In this paper, we discuss a user intuitive smart music player. This player will capture the facial expressions of a person working on the computer and identify the current emotion. Intuitively the music will be played for the user to relax them. The music player will take into account the foreground processes which the person is executing on the computer. Since various sort of music is available to boost one's enthusiasm, taking into consideration the tasks executed on the system by the user and the current emotions they carry, an ideal playlist of songs will be created and played for the person. The person can browse the playlist and modify it to make the system more flexible. This music player will thus allow the working professionals to stay relaxed in spite of their workloads.</p>

New architecture of system intrusion detection and prevention

<p>In this article there has been presented new intrusion detection and prevention algorithm implemented on Raspberry Pi platform. The paper begins with the presentation of research methodology in the field of Intrusion Detection Systems. Adequate supervision and control over network traffic is crucial for the security of information and communication technology. As a result of the limited budget allocated for the IT infrastructure of small businesses and the high price of dedicated solutions, many companies do not use mentioned systems. Therefore, in this order, there has been proposed monitoring solution based on the generally available Raspberry Pi platform. The paper is addressed to network administrators.</p>

Opening Access To Practice-based Evidence in Clinical Decision Support Systems with Natural Query Language

<p>Evidence-based medicine can be effective only if constantly tested against errors in medical practice. Clinical record database summarization supported by a machine allows allow to detect anomalies and therefore help detect the errors in early phases of care. Summarization system is a part of Clinical Decision Support Systems however it cannot be used directly by the stakeholder as long as s/he is not able to query the clinical record database. Natural Query Languages allow opening access to data for clinical practitioners, that usually do not have knowledge about articial query languages. Results: We have developed general purpose reporting system called Ask Data Anything (ADA) that we applied to a particular CDSS implementation. As a result, we obtained summarization system that opens the access for these of clinical researchers that were excluded from the meaningful summary of clinical records stored in a given clinical database. The most significant part of the component - NQL parser - is a hybrid of Controlled Natural Language (CNL) and pattern matching with a prior error repair phase. Equipped with reasoning capabilities due to the intensive use of semantic technologies, our hybrid approach allows one to use very simple, keyword-based (even erroneous) queries as well as complex CNL ones with the support of a predictive editor. By using ADA sophisticated summarizations of clinical data are produced as a result of NQL query execution. In this paper, we will present the main ideas underlying ADA component in the context of CDSS.</p>

Matroids And Greedy Algorithms. A Deeper Justification of Using Greedy Approach To Find A Maximal set of a Matroid

<p>Greedy algorithms are used in solving a diverse set of problems in small computation time. However, for solving problems using greedy approach, it must be proved that the greedy strategy applies. The greedy approach relies on selection of optimal choice at a local level reducing the problem to a single sub problem, which actually leads to a globally optimal solution. Finding a maximal set from the independent set of a matroid M(S, I) also uses greedy approach and justification is also provided in standard literature (e.g. Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen et .al.). However, the justification does not clearly explain the equivalence of using greedy algorithm and contraction of M by the selected element. This paper thus attempts to give a lucid explanation of the fact that the greedy algorithm is equivalent to reducing the Matroid into its contraction by selected element. This approach also provides motivation for research on the selection of the test used in algorithm which might lead to smaller computation time of the algorithm.</p>

Heterogeneous Indexing Register for Object Database

<p>Even though the object oriented persistent stores has not gained large commercial adaptation rate, it still is an interesting research field in many aspects including the data integration. Persistent data integration is a very challenging goal in modern computer systems. This paper presents a proposal for application of effective indexing integration scheme for distributed and heterogeneous data environment using an object database as the central store.</p>

VoIP Anomaly Detection - selected methods of statistical analysis

<p>Self-similarity analysis and anomaly detection in networks are interesting fields of research and scientific work of scientists around the world. Simulation studies have demonstrated that the Hurst parameter estimation can be used to detect traffic anomaly. The actual network traffic is self-similar or long-range dependent. The dramatic expansion of applications on modern networks gives rise to a fundamental challenge to network security. The Hurst values are compared with confidence intervals of normal values to detect anomaly in VoIP.</p>
