On methods for assessing water-resource risks and vulnerabilities

Assessing Risks of Policies to Patch Software Vulnerabilities

The number of security vulnerabilities, breaches and digital disaster increases over time. One important source of weaknesses in computer networks is the ubiquitous flaws (‘bugs’) in the software, which are exploitable by malicious agents. Consequently, “patching” the software to correct known bugs is becoming more important, especially for network-based systems. However, decision makers often ...

Computational modelling methods for assessing the risks from lead in drinking water.

Computational modelling methods have been used to predict the risks from lead in drinking water across a simulated supply zone, for a range of plumbosolvency conditions and a range of extents of occurrence of houses having a lead pipe, on the basis of five risk benchmarking methods. For the worst case modelled (very high plumbosolvency and 90% houses with a lead pipe) the percentage of houses a...

Bayesian Methods for Assessing Water Quality

This work presents the development of Bayesian techniques for the assessment of groundwater quality. Its primary aim is to develop a predictive model and a computer system to assess and predict the impact of pollutants on the water column. The process of the analysis begins by postulating a model in light of all available knowledge taken from relevant phenomenon. The previous knowledge as repre...

Voice over IP: Risks, Threats and Vulnerabilities

Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) technologies are rapidly being adopted by consumers, enterprises, governments and militaries. These technologies offer higher flexibility and more features than traditional telephony (PSTN) infrastructures, as well as the potential for lower cost through equipment consolidation and, for the consumer market, new business models. Howeve...
