The botnets are one of the most dangerous species of network-based attack. They cause severe network disruptions throughmassive coordinated attacks nowadays and the results of this disruption frequently cost enterprises large sums in financial losses. In this paper, we make an in-depth investigation on the issue of botnet detection and present a new security visualization tool for visualizing b...

Regenerative systems are able to overcome significant perturbations, and maintain autonomously their functionality in dynamic and uncertain environments. More and more this ability of biological systems plays a role in designing technical systems, e.g., in sensor networks, as well. Important properties of regenerative systems are their dynamic structures and their operation on different spatial...

This paper deals with the design of multi-machine power system stabilizers (PSSs) and Static var compensator (SVC) using Modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (MSFLA). The effectiveness of the proposed scheme for optimal setting of the PSSs and SVC controllers has been attended. The PSSs and SVC controllers designing is converted to an optimization problem in which the speed deviations betwe...

Our daily life is controlled and managed by the highly coordinated nerve cells in the brain. Information travels between nerve cells through cell-cell contacts, called synapses. The formation of a functional synapse is essential for both neuronal activity and survival. Disruption of normal synapse formation provokes cell death, a root cause for many diseases of the nervous system. Dr. Zhang’s r...

During the past decade, intelligent agents have been applied in attempts to a number of collaborative engineering design systems. Intelligent interface agents or personal assistants play a very important role in such systems. A fundamental issue in designing a personal assistant is how to build adequate models of the user and the domain. This paper proposes a cognitive user model of a personal ...

Multi-agent systems are used as a solution for complex and distributed systems. Since agents are autonomous they can be coordinated exogenously by a coordination language Reo. Reo coordinates agents without having any knowledge about agents. We apply organizational concepts to analyze and design such systems. In this paper, we propose a formal model to specify the results achieved during these ...

We read with interest the Editorial published recently, entitled “The transforming face of fracture epidemiology” (1). The author has rightly pointed out the facts regarding the nonfatal patterns of skeletal fractures, which include the fractures induced by the restraint system like air bags and frontal motor vehicle collisions (2, 3). The various modification in designing of such light motor v...

Hair forms an evolving boundary between the inside and outside of body, it is both separate from us a part us. At same time strongly directed by culture norms. With this project, we disturb shift these norms describing set speculative design explorations on hair. We describe outline practices techniques that are emerging. As such paper constitutes report points towards possibility hair as arena...
