It is clear that all of the elements normally associated with conventional war exist on the cyber battlefield; these elements just have different names. Additionally, the motivations for war are different in the cyber environment. The focus is not one of territorial acquisition, but one of information piracy and information system vandalism. The one exception to this notion is that there are no...

An enormous number of malware samples pose a major threat to our networked society. Antivirus software and intrusion detection systems are widely implemented on the hosts and networks as fundamental countermeasures. However, they may fail to detect evasive malware. Thus, setting a high priority for new varieties of malware is necessary to conduct in-depth analyses and take preventive measures. ...

Much has been made of the shifting relationships of power caused by the forces of globalization. Through the intensification of social interconnections, we now can apprehend the world as a single place, aware of our own place and its relative location within the range of world experience. The media of communication are key players in this process, both as causes and outcomes. Like with other ar...

This paper describes a multi-agent based availability prediction approach for the reconfigurable networked software system based on the complex system’s model and simulation. Firstly, the definition of the features and availability of reconfigurable networked software system is introduced. Secondly, on the basis of the multi-agent based networked software system modeling method, an availability...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of networked predictive control systems. A networked predictive control algorithm is proposed to compensate the network delay and achieve desired control performance of networked control systems. Two schemes of networked control systems are presented: one is the off-line simulation scheme and the other is a real-time application. Based on a net...

background: early detection of proneness to hypertension may help an individual to lead a healthy life by altering the life style. subjects having the predisposing factors of hypertension tend to show higher and prolonged responsiveness to blood pressure following stress. methods: normotensive, non-smoking healthy sedentary male students and staff of nepal medical college (n=50, age group 18-35...

Decentralized control of networked systems has been widely investigated in the literature, with the aim of obtaining coordinated emerging behaviors (e.g. synchronization, swarming, coverage, formation control) by means of local interaction. In this paper we consider the possibility of injecting external inputs into the networked system, in order to obtain more complex cooperative behaviors. Spe...
