1. A Theoretical Exploration of the Impact of Packet Loss on Network Intrusion Detection

Sidney C. Smith, Robert J. Hammell II, Travis W. Parker, Lisa M. Marvel
Pages: 1 - 10
In this paper we review the problem of packet loss as it pertains to Network Intrusion Detection, seeking to answer two fundamental research questions which are stepping stones towards building a model that can be used to predict the rate of alert loss based upon the rate of packet loss. The first question...

2. Extraction of Text Regions from Complex Background in Document Images by Multilevel Clustering

Hoai Nam Vu, Tuan Anh Tran, Na In Seop, Soo Hyung Kim
Pages: 11 - 21
Textual data plays an important role in a number of applications such as image database indexing, document understanding, and image-based web searching. The target of automatic real-life text extracting in document images without character recognition module is to identify image regions that contain...

3. On the Empirical Evaluation of Multicasting with Minimum Delay Variation

Nicklaus Rhodes, Shankar Banik
Pages: 22 - 31
In certain types of Internet applications, multicasting with Quality of Service (QoS) optimizations are required on both the end-to-end delay from the source to the destinations, as well as the difference in the end-to-end delay between the destinations. Examples of these applications include video-conferencing,...

4. Sorting Terms of “aaS” of Everything as a Service

Yucong Duan, Xiaobing Sun, Antonella Longo, Zhaoxin Lin, Shixiang Wan
Pages: 32 - 44
Numerous service models have been proposed in the form of ”as a Service” or ”aaS” in the past. This is especially eminent in the era of the Cloud under the term of anything as a service or everything as a service(XaaS). A unified view of XaaS can aid efficient classification of services for service registration,...

5. Automate Scientific Workflow Execution between Local Cluster and Cloud

Hao Qian, Daniel Andresen
Pages: 45 - 54
Scientific computational experiments often span multiple computational and analytical steps, and during execution, researchers need to store, access, transfer, and query information. Scientific workflow is a powerful tool to stream-line and organize scientific application. Numbers of tools have been...

6. Topic Model based Approach for Improved Indexing in Content based Document Retrieval

Moon Soo Cha, So Yeon Kim, Jae Hee Ha, Min-June Lee, Young-June Choi, Kyung-Ah Sohn
Pages: 55 - 64
Information Retrieval system plays an essential role in web services. However, the web services in which users can upload files as attachments typically do not support enough search conditions and often rely only on the title or the description that the users provide during upload. We present a topic-model...

7. Using SPIN to Check Simulink Stateflow Models

Chikatoshi Yamada, D. Michael Miller
Pages: 65 - 74
Verification is critical to the design of large and complex systems. SPIN is a well-known and extensively used verification tool. In this paper, we consider two tool chains, one existing, WSAT, and one introduced here, that support using SPIN to model check systems specified as Simulink Stateflow models....
