Security policy conformance is a crucial issue in large-scale critical cyber-infrastructure. The complexity of these systems, insider attacks, and the possible speed of an attack on a system necessitate an automated approach to assure a basic level of protection. This paper presents Odessa, a resilient system for monitoring and validating compliance of networked systems to complex policies. To ...

Embedded networked sensing systems have been successfully applied to environmental monitoring in a wide range of applications. These first results have demonstrated a potential for advancing fundamental environmental science methods and environmental management capability as well as for providing future methods for safeguarding public health. While substantial progress in sensor network perform...

A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

Cities of the future will need to cope with triple challenges urban growth, planetary boundaries leading reduced energy and other resources, rapid climate change. In response these complexities, growth innovations in networked infrastructure development go hand-in-hand transform systems sustain health advantage. order achieve this, knowledge policy-making undergo processes accelerated learning....

Current communications tools and libraries for high performance computing are designed for platforms and applications that exhibit relatively stable computational and communication characteristics. In contrast, the demands of (1) mixed environments in which high performance applications interact with multiple end users, visualizations, storage engines, and I/O engines { termed`distributed labor...
