Masquerade attack refers to an attack that uses a fake identity, to gain unauthorized access to personal computer information through legitimate access identification. Automatic discovery of masqueraders is sometimes undertaken by detecting significant departures from normal user behavior. If a user's normal profile deviates from their original behavior, it could potentially signal an ongoing m...

The successful implementations of the concepts of Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) in smart home in the recent years and the advantages it provide in the smart home development have proved its importance. However, efforts are still needed for service-oriented design of smart home, especially at the architectural level. Although a number of layered architectures are proposed for smart home in th...

Information can be considered the most important asset of any modern organization. Securing this information involves preserving confidentially, integrity and availability, the well-known CIA triad. In addition, information security is a risk management job; the task is to manage the inherent risks of information disclosure. Current information security platforms do not deal with the different ...

This paper presents a new architecture called FAIS for implementing intelligent agents cooperating in a special Multi Agent environment, namely the RoboCup Rescue Simulation System. This is a layered architecture which is customized for solving fire extinguishing problem. Structural decision making algorithms are combined with heuristic ones in this model, so it's a hybrid architecture.

In this paper, we proposed a Parallel-Layered Belief-Propagation (PLBP) algorithm first, which makes a breakthrough in utilizing the layered decoding algorithm on the “non-layered” quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes, whose column weights are higher than one within layers. Our proposed PLBP algorithm not only achieves a better error performance, but also requires almost 50% less iterations, compared w...

Cross-layer optimization solutions have been proposed in recent years to improve the performance of network users operating in a time-varying, error-prone wireless environment. However, these solutions often rely on ad-hoc optimization approaches with known environmental dynamics experienced at various layers by a user and violate the layered network architecture of the protocol stack. This pap...

This research deals with an important issue in software development. It is concerned with software development with the help of software architecture styles. Software industry uses many architecture styles namely, pipe and filter, object oriented, event invocation, process control layered, data centered architecture etc. All these architecture styles have their own advantages and disadvantages ...

This paper deals with the synthesis of control software for hybrid systems speciied as hybrid automata. Instead of generating the software from scratch, the synthesis is based on a generic layered software architecture which supports both periodic and event-triggered computations. The use of the layered software architecture as the framework for implementing hybrid controllers is motivated in t...

We define a domain specific embedded language in Haskell for describing layered software architectures which maintain bidirectional dependencies. By using a typed programming language to describe the architecture, the type correctness of its components is guaranteed by the type checker of the language. Because, contrary to the situation with typical Architecture Description Languages, the descr...
