1 Abstract— With the increasing number of intrusions in systems' and networks' infrastructures, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have become an active area of research to develop reliable and effective solutions to detect and counter them. The use of Evolutionary Algorithms in IDS has proved its maturity over the times. Although most of the research works have been based on the use of genetic ...

Game preservation is a critical issue for game studies. Access to historic materials forms a vital core to research and this field is no different. However, there are serious challenges to overcome for preservationists in terms of developing a strategic and inclusion programme to retain access to obsolete games. Emulation, as a strategy already applied by major developers and the gaming communi...

A survey has been made of the holdings and preservation requirements of ten major European public service broadcast archives. The survey also covered 'the business they do and how they do it': the contribution made by the archives to the business of broadcasting. The archives gave their plans for future services as media moves from 'tapes on shelves' to mass storage and electronic distribution....

jewish identity of israel is one of the major problems in assessing the status of sociology, social policy and political structure. the mainstream zionist discourse suggests that the distinction is one of the essential components of jewish identit. this has led to direct and control the political behavior of the inhabitants of the political structure in order to facilitate the continuation and ...

http://www.aic.gov.au Adam Graycar Director Burglary is a significant issue in most urban areas and many agencies are involved in efforts to combat the problem. The police are one such agency that relies on accurate and rigorous analysis of crime and offender data to focus their available resources. The Australian Institute of Criminology has been working with a number of police services to bet...

This paper analyzes the Self-Adaptation (SA) algorithm widely used to adapt strategy parameters of the Evolution Strategy (ES) in order to obtain maximal ES-performance. The investigations are concentrated on the adaptation of one general mutation strength (called SA) in (1;) ESs. The hypersphere serves as the tness model. Starting from an introduction into the basic concept of self-adaptation,...

Emulation has been proposed as a preservation strategy for longevity of digital objects. An advantage of emulation is the relative platform independency. Emulation with a high degree of platform independency requires a Universal Virtual Computer (UVC), as described by Lorie. This paper describes the realization of the enhanced UVC developed for the National Library of the Netherlands. The prese...

Improved preservation techniques have the potential to improve transplant outcomes by better maintaining donor organ quality and by making more organs available for allotransplantation. Persufflation, (PSF, gaseous oxygen perfusion) is potentially one such technique that has been studied for over a century in a variety of tissues, but has yet to gain wide acceptance for a number of reasons. A p...

The use of emulation as a preservation strategy is often looked upon with skepticism. Although it may be the only way to render digital objects authentically in the future, emulation is thought to be too technically challenging and therefore too expensive and time-consuming. This line of thought has thus far prevented emulation from being developed for preservation purposes. However, the Nation...

Digital libraries are increasingly relying on distributed services to support increasingly complex tasks such as retrieval or preservation.While there is a growing body of services for migrating digital objects into safer formats to ensure their long-term accessability, the quality of these services is often unknown. Moreover, emulation as the major alternative preservation strategy is often ne...
